🐾 Meet the Groomer: Kiersten 🎶✂️
Kiersten has been grooming since 2017—but her love for animals started long before that.
From raising family dogs and cats, to helping her partner’s dad with puppy births, and assisting vets with horses, she’s been involved in every corner of animal care since she was a kid.
She got her professional start as a mentee at a small grooming shop in Missoula, MT while she was in school. That hands-on experience led her to a larger company, where she completed their academy program—learning both grooming technique and extensive safety practices.
She moved to New Jersey about four years ago to pursue her other passion: opera singing (yes, she really can hit those high notes!). But grooming never stopped.
After years of working in corporate salons, Kiersten opened Hall of Fame Grooming to create something different—something better.
✨ A calm, one-on-one environment for anxious or special needs pets
✨ Time and space to perfect high-level, breed-specific or specialty cuts
✨ Top-tier products and tools—without being rushed to meet daily quotas
Her Frenchie, Mario, is a special needs dog himself—so Kiersten understands firsthand how overwhelming big salons can be for sensitive pups. Hall of Fame was built to be the opposite: peaceful, personal, and completely focused on the wellbeing of every dog who walks through the door.
