Meet the Groomer Behind the Magic

Hey there! I’m Keana—professional groomer, lifelong dog lover, and the proud human behind Stellar Tails Grooming.

My story starts way up in the Panhandle of Idaho, where I was raised on a small farm surrounded by animals and wide open spaces. I got my first dog when I was 10 years old, and let’s just say—it was love at first leash. That bond led me into the world of 4H, where I earned my first blue ribbon in dog training and a certificate that kickstarted my journey in animal care.

In high school, I spent elective credits volunteering at the local animal shelter, getting hands-on experience with pups from all walks of life. After graduating, I found myself working at a doggy daycare and earned not one, but two certifications in Dog Handling 101 and 201.

But I wasn’t done learning—not even close.

To become a groomer, I completed an 800-hour, 20-week certification course that covered:

  • Salon safety and sanitation standards

  • Proper bathing, drying, and brushing techniques for every coat type

  • Nail trims, ear cleaning, and skin/coat health basics

  • Breed-specific haircuts and scissoring patterns

  • Hands-on training with a certified grooming mentor

  • Over 100 supervised grooms

  • And a final test on breed standard cuts

Now, I’m bringing that knowledge and passion to every dog I groom—whether it’s a scruffy rescue needing some TLC or a floofy show-off ready for their close-up.

Stellar Tails is more than a grooming service—it’s a safe space where pups are seen, loved, and treated like the stars they are. I believe grooming should feel calm, kind, and personalized, and that’s exactly what you’ll find here.
