Allie Underhill, a hairdresser from Stoke-on-Trent, has switched careers to focus on dog grooming. The career change sees Underhill applying professional grooming techniques to canine clients rather than continuing to style human customers in a salon.

Transferable Skills

Underhill says the skills required for styling pets are comparable to those used in hairdressing. The professional techniques developed during years in the salon are being applied to a new client base with four legs instead of two.
