We offer a free 15 minute consultation so we can get to know you and your dog to ensure that his or her groom will be a positive experience. They will not only get a stylish hair cut but also lots of love and attention in the process. We believe that every dog is an individual and needs individual treatment. We specialise in nervous dogs, dogs that have become grooming-phobic, puppies, badly matted and rescue dogs.

We are the human faces behind the Crowthorne salon that Kayla and Beanie set up in 2014. Kayla has groomed since 2009 and has worked with animals since she was 12 years old and it had always been a dream to have her own salon with her sister and best friend Beanie. We now have an amazing team helping us continue our brilliant reputation pampering your pets, we have fantastic staff members and some top and well known groomers caring for your four legged friends providing a brilliant service, who will always be at the salon ready to greet you and your dog. We have numerous assistant, trainee and senior stylists in the salon and hope to one day open up a grooming school to help others learn how to groom.

At 2 Left Paws we are fully committed to offering the highest standards of service, and both Kayla and Beanie are members of The Groomers Spotlight which was formed to celebrate fully qualified groomers and the art of professional dog grooming. Pet grooming is a highly skilled profession and yet unregulated, this means that anyone can trade as a pet groomer without any formal qualifications, potentially putting your pet’s welfare at serious risk. All Groomers Spotlight members have achieved The Level 3 City and Guilds Full Professional Diploma (not just the introductory part), The IPG Qualification or The OCN West Midlands qualification or Education Framework approved equivalent. All these qualifications cover health and safety, anatomy, breed standards and safe practice as well as full and in-depth practical assessments on live dogs. In summary, these qualifications have been chosen for their excellent content and the high standard of the practical assessments.

The aim of the Groomers Spotlight is to champion and promote Pet Groomers that have worked to achieve a 'Groomers Spotlight Standard' professional level of knowledge and all groomers featured are fully competent in all aspects of your pets’ skin, coat and styling needs.

Kayla has a well-earned reputation for preparing and handling the challenging long-haired breed Briards at Crufts. In 2014, she prepared and handled Beaugency Martel to 3rd place in Good Citizen Dog, and prepared the Veteran Bitch winner, the 2nd place in Post Graduate bitch and the VHC dog in Limit Class. In 2015, she prepared the winning Briard in GCD and the winning Borzoi in Post Graduate Bitch. Here's what some of these winning dogs think of Kayla:

Getting a dog ready for Crufts is a delicate balancing act. The dog has to be clean and, obviously, well groomed, but not so recently washed that the coat is 'fly-away'. Some breeds demand special trimming - poodles for example (Kayla has a toy and standard which are clipped in show trim) whilst Briards and Borzois should have maximum coat length and texture. Terriers, by contrast, need to be 'hand stripped' - a long process which ensures that the coat is both wiry and shaped to emphasise that the dog meets the breed specification. Kayla has demonstrated an outstanding reputation with top rank show dogs but shows the same commitment with the humblest family pet - every dog that comes into 2 Left Paws leaves as a winner in Kayla's book!
