Our Pet Stylists

Nicole (Front Desk, Owner)

Nicole's journey in the pet industry began long before she ever imagined becoming a grooming salon owner. Growing up in Germany surrounded by horses and her beloved Yorkshire Terrier, Gesa, she developed a deep love and understanding of animals from an early age. At just 12 years old, Nicole began grooming Gesa herself, not yet realizing that one day, grooming would become her passion and career. After relocating to the USA, Nicole continued her love for animals by starting her own dog walking and pet sitting business, Chester County Dog Walkers, Inc., over 15 years ago. It wasn’t long before she realized that pet grooming was a natural extension of her work, leading her to become a certified pet groomer. Her dedication to her craft grew as she offered in-house grooming services to her loyal clients, eventually inspiring her to open Vanity Fur at Ludwigs Corner, a boutique pet salon and spa for dapper dogs. Today, Nicole is proud to have created a space where pets are treated like family, and she’s committed to providing high-quality, personalized grooming services for every pet that walks through the door. Her passion for animals, combined with her entrepreneurial spirit, has made Vanity Fur a beloved destination for pets and their owners.
