MEET THE TEAM

Carol Hutchins ICMG

Carol is the founder of The Lady and the Tramp, and started the business in the rear of a garage at her home 30 years ago. With a Passion for dogs and grooming, Carol has grown the business over the years enabling her to relocate to the high street shop front the Salon has today and to bring in other talented groomers to work by her side. Carol is justly proud of the team and sharing her vast knowledge and skills with them has developed a highly caring, skilled and passionate group of groomers. Carol holds the prestigious qualification “International Certified Master Groomer (ICMG)” and the Salon team members are working towards this award. Carol and all of the team are also fully qualified in Canine First Aid.

When not at the Salon, Carol is ‘minion’ to her beloved “Parcheeni” Standard Poodles, a breed she fell in love with when she needed a dog to practice her grooming skills on. The Parcheeni Poodles are very successful in the UK Kennel Club Championship show ring and all of Carol’s own dogs are ‘qualified for life’ to attend the Crufts show which is a significant achievement. Carol is also passed by the UK Kennel Club to judge at Championship level.

Carol is a very busy lady but one of her philosophies is ‘knowledge is a gift for sharing’ and is often invited to other salons around the country to present demonstrations to groups of other groomers wanting to gain knowledge and perfect their own grooming techniques. This is an aspect of her grooming life that Carol particularly enjoys. 

Victoria Clasper

Victoria says: “Hi I trained at Hartpury College in 2015 and achieved level 2 & 3 City & Guilds Diplomas in Dog Grooming, both with distinctions. In June 2016 I started my own grooming business in Newent and it has been successfully running for 4 years to date. I am also a Certified Canine First Aider and have attended numerous educational canine seminars, to include specialising in ‘Doodles’ or Poodle crosses (Labradoodles, Cockerpoos etc) and as a rural based salon, many of the dogs I groom in Newent are spaniels. I’m really enjoying being in the city and experiencing many different breeds and undertaking the high end grooms that The Lady & the Tramp are well known for. It’s also lovely to be in a salon full of fun & support and knowing the dogs wellbeing is paramount.

Sophie Roberts 

Sophie says: “Hi I have been grooming since 2014. I completed my level 2 & 3 City & Guilds Dog Grooming diplomas at Hartpury College while working in a popular Cotswold Salon as a Grooming assistant.

After qualifying, I ventured out on my own and started a mobile dog grooming business which I have absolutely loved running for 3 years and have had some super pooches to groom. Although it was a difficult decision, I decided it was time to move on and the luxury of a salon with a supportive team is where I want to be. Grooming is my passion and I can’t think of any other profession for me; I’m so excited to be a part of The Lady & the Tramp.

My own dog Theo is a labradoodle and is totally bonkers I adore him, dogs just make me smile”.

Also a member of our amazing team is Dani our prep girl, Dani does a first class job Bathing & drying your dogs, without her hard work and dedication, the stylists couldn’t do such wonderful grooms on the dogs…. Its a TEAM effort here at The Lady & the Tramp.
