Meet Our Team

Heather Washington

Pet Stylist
Hello! My name is Heather Washington and I have been grooming for 33 years. At home, I have 2 European Boxers named Zavyur and Zyion. I have lived in Apex for about 20 years. I have a Bachelors in Elementary Education, and a Grooming Certificate from Maryland Grooming School in which I graduated top of my class. In the past, I have taught grooming courses at Wake Tech and PetSmart Corp. During college, I had a bad experience in getting my Shih Tzu’s groomed. This bad experience inspired me to jump into grooming!

Natalea Baker

Pet Stylist
Hey! My name is Natalea Baker and I have been grooming for 4 years. I have 2 dogs at home, a Goldendoodle and a Lab/Boxer mix. I am 21 years old and from Harnett County. One of my favorite things to do is go to the lake with my family every weekend. In 5th grade I wanted to bring my dog to school for a project and was told to research careers. That's how I stumbled into my grooming career!

Briza Beardsley

Pet Stylist
Hello! My name is Briza and I have been grooming for about 5 years, but have more prior experience working with animals. At home I have 2 cats, Luna and Zuko. I was born in NC and I enjoy anything art or nature related. Before becoming a groomer, I was a vet assistant in Tijuana, Mexico. I got inspired to jump into grooming during my time there and attended grooming school in Mexico City.

Viridiana Rivera Maya

Pet Stylist
Hey! My name is V and I have been grooming for about 3 years. At home I have a Maltipoo and 2 Finches. I was originally born in Guanajuato, Mexico but I moved to NC when I was 2. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish! I got into grooming when I first got my dog to learn how to take care of him. After giving it a try, I fell in love with it. I enjoy working with dogs and seeing new faces so it quickly became a passion of mine!

Darian Washington

Pet Stylist
Hi my name is Darian. I have been grooming for 10 years, but in reality I grew up in the groom shop watching my mom every day. I'm originally from West Virginia and moved to North Carolina while in elementary school. I've had a love for working with dogs from a young age, it just seemed natural to become a groomer. I do have 2 amazing dogs, a 2 year old German Shepherd named Ricco. As well as the Groomingdale’s official correspondent Nizmo.

Chantal Ferr

Pet Stylist
Hello! My name is Chantal and I have been grooming for 21 years. At home I have a 3 year old Husky, Eros, and a 13 year old cat, Gizmo. I was born and raised in CA, which is also where I started my grooming career. In 2017, I moved to NC for a fresh start. I had always known that I wanted to work with animals and grooming was something that I stumbled across and got very interested in. I love that I get to help care for people’s fur babies while also putting my creativity to work.

Anshi Saharan

Retail Staff
Hey! My name is Anshi Saharan and I have been working at Groomingdales For about 7 ½ months. I do not have any dogs at home because my mom is allergic, but in the future I would love to own a German Shepherd! I was born in NJ but have lived in CN and NC for most of my life. I am currently attending Green Level High School and set to graduate in December. I chose to work at Groomingdales because I enjoy being around animals, and my favorite part about being here is the amazing family I've gained!

Stephanie Stickney

I am originally from Anaheim, CA but have lived in NC for 16 years. My love for animals sparked my interest in grooming, and here I am!

Chazz Washington

Pet Nutritionist
Hi! My name is Chazz Washington and I have been a pet Nutritionist for 2 years. At home, I have 2 European Boxers named Oziris and Zafir. I have lived in Apex for over 20 years. I have received my Bachelors and Master's degrees from Lenoir-Rhyne University and am currently working on my Doctorate degree. I got into pet nutrition when I had a sick Boxer who the local vets were no longer able to help due to a rare birth defect. So through my deep dive into the world of pet nutrition, I was able to give my Boxer a great life and it inspired me to want to help as many pets as I can!

Brought my dogs in for grooming, and first time with Briza. She is amazing. Immediately upon meeting her I felt her gentle kind spirit. My 2 girls are timid and not easy. Briza gave my 2 year old Havapoo the best cut she’s ever had! It’s growing out nicely and I think my puppy likes having a shorter coat. Thank you Briza for your talented attention to detail and gentle nature. We will be back to see you soon! (Before and after pic)

We have been taking our pups for a couple years now and love it! Darian does amazing work on our Goldendoodles and is such a sweetheart. I also love how they expanded their shop to offer treats, food and supplies.

This was my 1st time at this grooming facility. The facility is clean and staff is warm and inviting upon entry. Briza did a wonderful job on my toy poodles hair. Will use again.
