History

In the early 1980’s the first ever grooming conference was held in Chicago, which I had the great privilege to attend – more later on this. One of the nation’s first Certified Master Groomers, credited with contributing to the invention of the important high velocity dryer, Romaine Michelle, owner of Chicago’s Master Grooming, won that first conference level grooming competition. Jerry had also invented Creative Grooming with the use of color and non-breed cuts, which has become a huge industry and professional association in its own right.
