About Animal Magic
The business was started from scratch in August 1998.
A small shop in Mudgeeraba, Queensland was rented. The shopfit very basic. A single stand dryer, a set of clippers a few blades, scissors, a second hand hydrobath. The most important component being a skilled and hard working Veterinary Nurse/Groomer.
Letter box drops and referrals from the local Vets got us going and it wasn't long before our reputation was established.
In August 2004 the salon was relocated to it's current address, Shop 3/31 Railway Street as we had outgrown the original premises.
The new salon has a large reception containing all types of 'fancy stuff'. Behind our large viewing window is the 'styling room' where hair cutting and design is on display.
The washing & blow drying room is separate. When you see a Husky blow dried you'll know why.... just think snow storm!
All of the grooming apparatus is updated regularly to improve the efficiency and quality of our work.
In September/October 2005 Emily travelled to the United States of America where she attended two Grooming and Pet Trade Expo's. The first was 'Groom Expo', Hershey Pennsylvania and the second 'Superzoo' in Las Vegas.
The Nov '06 issue of "Groomer to Groomer" magazine has Emily on the cover talking about her last experience. See the LINKS page to read the article.
The wealth of knowledge and experience gained from these events, contacts and latest techniques only increases the skill level and expertise available from the staff at our salons.
Recent accolades are winning the Best Groomer award and 'snazziest stylist' at the Paws & Claws awards August 2007.
