Shelby
Owner & Master Stylist
When I started dog grooming, over a decade ago, I never thought I would end up where I am today. After falling in love with the craft and a few leaps of faith, I am proud to say that I run my dream salon where we can bring out the fancy side of dogs. I am constantly pushing myself and my team to improve and refine their skill so we can truly offer the best that we can. At home, my husband Brandon and I, have a pup of our own: Theodora “Theo” who is a standard poodle that is too cute for her own good. Other than work, I enjoy filling my days with hiking, traveling, photography, trying new foods, sinking into the couch and adventuring with Brandon & Theo.

Sam
Lead Stylist
Since I was young, animals, especially dogs, have captivated me. I stumbled upon the dog grooming industry over a decade ago when I took a part-time reception job at a local salon where my position ignited my love of this industry. In 2020, I officially became a dog groomer, and have since, dedicated myself to honing my craft and delivering the best grooming services to my furry clients. While I enjoy grooming all breeds, doodles are my favorite. I have a dachshund named Pippin who keeps me company during work and occasionally acts as my unofficial "assistant"! In my free time, I engage in a few different hobbies. I have a creative side that I explore through various art forms, including painting and through digital art.
Gaby
Stylist
After working as a dog bather for a year in a fast pace grooming shop, I knew that I wanted to become a groomer to release my artistic abilities and create adorable grooms! I learned to groom at the IPG certified Northern California Grooming Academy in San Jose, and have been grooming in the Bay Area ever since. I love all dogs, but my crazy border collie, Ghost, is my best friend and doggie companion. In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with my family (and their many dogs) and writing/ producing short films with friends.
Paulina
Stylist
After diving headfirst into the world of pet care in 2014, grooming dogs (and some cats!) at a veterinary clinic, I took a hiatus from grooming for a few years to broaden my horizons and explore other passions. I soon realized I couldn’t stay away though, and in 2020 I eagerly returned to the grooming world, ready to pick up where I had left off four years earlier. I love all dogs, no matter the shape, size, or story, but I have a special place in my heart for the senior and special needs dogs. In my free time, I like reading, playing video games and spending time with my partner and our “old man” dog, Dino.
Jasmine
Bathing Specialist & Stylist Apprentice
My introduction to this industry was at a doggy daycare that offered grooming services. I was tasked one day to bathe a dog and I ended up finding a new passion. Working one-on-one with animals is the most rewarding and fulfilling experience I could ask for and I am training to be a professional groomer under Shelby. I love being able to give dogs the love, care, nutrition and grooming that they all deserve. My favorite dogs to work with are definitely pomeranians and doodles. At home, I enjoy drawing, watching my favorite shows, and relaxing.
Brandon
Owner & Dog Trainer
I am Shelby’s husband and I run more of the “behind the scenes,” business and design side of the salon. Watching Shelby’s craft and passion blossom is nothing short of absolutely inspiring and working together to bring the vision of Le Pawsh to life is a dream. I also run Dyad Dog Training, where I get to educate and show people their dog’s potential. At home, I take every opportunity I can to adventure with Shelby and our pup, Theo. We are food munching, hike climbing, music loving, wine sipping, coffee guzzling, photo capturing, adventure chasing, dog people.
Theodora ‘Theo’
Brand Ambassador
I’m a standard poodle and the official mascot of perfection, cuteness, and Le Pawsh. I love running on the beach, playing with my toys, like Francis the monkey or Charles the squirrel, hanging out with my friends, and chewin’ on a pig ear! I greet every friend that comes in to the salon for their spa day. My dad trains me to be polite and proper, and my mom cuts my hair to keep me looking like a show dog - that doesn’t stop me from playing in the dirt and getting filthy!
