Meet our Team
Paige
Owner and groomer at Lather & Love Dog Spa. Paige has been grooming dogs for over 15 years and truly can't imagine doing anything else. Before opening the salon, she spent 12 years grooming at Maple Tree Veterinary Hospital, where she gained extensive experience working with dogs of all breeds, personalities, and grooming needs.
Animals have always been a huge part of her life, both professionally and personally. In addition to grooming, she's spent years involved in animal rescue and has a full house at home with seven rescue dogs and two cats. Her young daughter, Emersyn, is also growing up surrounded by animals and learning just how important it is to care for them with patience and kindness.
At Lather & Love Dog Spa, her goal is to create a calm, safe, and positive grooming experience for every dog that comes through the door. Paige knows how much pets mean to their families, and treats every dog like one of her own.
Jean
Jean, born and raised in New York, graduated from the New York School of Dog Grooming in 1987. With nearly 40 years of grooming experience and having owned multiple shops, she now brings her expertise to North Carolina, providing skilled, compassionate care for every dog. She is new to Western North Carolina, and she and her chihuahua, Sanchez, are enjoying making Haywood County their new home!
Kailey
Kailey has a deep passion for working with dogs and helping them look and feel their best. While currently expanding her skills in professional dog grooming, she has experience as a certified dog trainer and dog camp counselor- giving her a strong understanding of canine behavior and body language, which helps her create a calm and positive grooming experience for every dog she works with.
She especially enjoys working with dogs that may be nervous or high-energy, taking the time to help them feel comfortable and safe during their appointments. Kailey believes grooming is more than just making dogs look good — it’s about building trust and creating a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.
When she’s not grooming, Kailey spends time continuing to learn about dog behavior, pet sitting, and dog training, always looking for ways to better understand and work with the dogs in her care. Kailey is dedicated to learning and improving every day so she can provide the best possible experience for both dogs and their owners.
