South Dade Dog Grooming Studio

Meet our Pawsmetologist Nadia 🐾

More than a groomer – she actually feels what your dog feels.

Nadia’s love for dogs didn’t start as a business idea – it started in a really dark season of her life. One dog in particular stepped in and became her lifeline. He wasn’t “legally” an emotional support animal, but that’s exactly what he was. He pulled her out of that place and made her see dogs as these deeply sensitive, emotionally intelligent little souls.

Because she went to beauty school, Nadia thought, “How different can grooming a dog be?” She started doing her own dog’s baths, trims, and tidy-ups – and the difference was huge. He did better with her than with commercial mobile groomers because he wasn’t just a number on a route. He got eye contact, soft energy, and someone who adjusted to his mood and anxiety level.

Nadia is an empath. She reads dogs the way some people read a room. She’s especially good with the ones people are scared of – the “aggressive” dogs, the big blocky-head pitties, the ones everyone warns you about. With her, they melt. They act like giant babies, letting her handle their paws, faces, and even getting her hands near their mouths without snapping because they feel that she’s not there to overpower them – she’s there to understand them.

When she groomed her own dog, he was so relaxed that he literally fell asleep while she finished. Friends noticed the difference too. Their dogs came back calmer, happier, and more comfortable than they did from regular groomers. That’s when she realized: this isn’t just grooming – this is energy, trust, and connection.

That journey is what turned into South Dade Dog Grooming Studio. Now Nadia is your neighborhood Pawsmetologist – blending her beauty-school skills, intuition, and emotional connection with dogs into one-on-one, gentle grooming sessions in Homestead. If you have a nervous, older, or “difficult” pup, she’s exactly the kind of person you want them with.
