Our groomers

MEET KAREN

Hi, I'm Karen, owner of Tailored Tails in Lynchburg, VA.

As a graduate of the Nash Academy of Animal Arts and a professional groomer with over 30 years of experience, I've dedicated my career to helping dogs look and feel their best.

I believe grooming should be more than a haircut—it should be a positive experience built on trust, patience, and understanding.

Every dog is different. Whether I'm working with a playful puppy, an anxious rescue, or a senior dog needing extra care, I take the time to understand their individual needs and create an experience that helps them feel safe and comfortable.

To provide the highest level of care, I hold certifications in Difficult Dog Handling & Training, Pet First Aid & CPR, and Geriatric Pet Care. These allow me to confidently care for dogs that may need a little extra patience, support, or specialized attention.

At Tailored Tails, my goal isn't simply to create beautiful grooms. It's to provide a calm, low-stress experience where dogs feel respected, cared for, and comfortable throughout their visit.

My mission is simple:

To help every dog leave looking great, feeling confident, and excited to come back again.

Because happy dogs make happy families.
