“Although I have groomed celebrity dogs, all dogs are celebrities to me!”

Hanieh began her grooming career at a shelter over eighteen years ago. She loved to make over the rescue dogs and contribute to their well-being, helping them to be adopted. She can make dogs feel safe and relaxed during grooming – a “good experience for them”. A consummate groomer of all dog breeds, she especially loves grooming poodles because of the versatility of coat and variety of styles. When not grooming, she enjoys music and spending time with her 24-year-old Pekingese “Tameshk”.

“Owning a dog is a joy!”

Gene believes that non dog owners gain an experience of transcendence when they get their first puppy. He feels it is a pleasure to help people navigate having a dog in this great city.

Gene has been working in the pet industry since 2005. Formerly owning a pet related business in Hell’s Kitchen afforded him the opportunity to learn a great deal about grooming, health issues, and nutrition. Prior to his work in the pet industry Gene obtained an MA in Counseling and has been a social worker and therapist in New York and Washington D.C. He lives in the “neighborhood” with his partner and their wonderful dachshund.
