Opal, now 24, went to Winsford Academy earlier than beginning at Reaseheath College the place she did an animal administration course, alongside a canine grooming qualification.
Having labored for different businesses after qualifying in 2016, she determined to go self-employed to have extra management over her work life.
Cheshire Canine Salon was launched at Early Paws, a canine day care in Sutton Weaver, in July 2021.
Now, Opal, who has two old english bulldogs herself, works six days per week and could not be happier.
She stated: “I have always had a passion for animals, ever since I was little.
“I find dog grooming so therapeutic and always love the see the transformations.
“As well as this, when a nervous dog comes in, I like to take the time to ensure they’re comfortable. I had a dog who was absolutely terrified of grooming so I made them comfortable and a few sessions later the dog was actually pulling their owner to come into the salon!
“I also love the theory side of it, like why does a dog have a certain haircut and what is the correct haircut! There’s a lot to dog grooming.”
On what she does to make her a worthy award winner, Opal added: “I think what I do is that I care for the animals so much and always put their welfare before looks.
“I would like to thank Early paws who allowed me to set up my business on their premises and have always given me support.
“I would also love to thank all my customers who make my job.”
