Taylor Hansen
Owner, Pet Stylist
Possessing a deep appreciation for animals, Taylor started her grooming career in 2020. Opening Tidy Pawz in 2022 with her husband, she has loved building a stress-free and loving environment for both the dogs and the staff. She loves to groom all breeds but enjoys grooming Schnauzers, Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers, Standard Poodles and German Shepherds the most. Building a relationship with every dog that comes across her table is her biggest priority. Her biggest strengths are working with dogs with anxiety, dogs who have struggled with the grooming process in the past, and dogs who may show aggression. Taylor loves to continue her grooming education by watching webinars, reading up on the latest grooming trends, and loves to keep her tools and products up to date to give you the best finish on your furry friend! Taylor's books are closed to all new clients. If an appointment is requested without any past appointments with Taylor, the appointment will be moved to the next available groomer.
