Meet Lis Johnston
Your Guide to Mastering Grooming Excellence
My Journey
My passion for dog grooming began at a very young age when I showcased my first collie on a shoelace at just five years old (she was stuffed, and yes, I still have her!). By age 15, I was breeding and showing collies, and my love for this art continued to grow. After high school, I dove into grooming in 2004 and quickly fell in love with the industry.
In 2012, I made my official competition debut and have since risen through the ranks to become one of the Top 10 GroomTeam USA competitive groomers. As a Nationally Certified Master Groomer, I hold a title of distinction that reflects my commitment to excellence and continuous improvement.
What I Offer
With a wealth of experience and international recognition, I’m dedicated to sharing my knowledge through seminars across the nation and internationally. In 2014, I fulfilled a lifelong dream by opening Serenity Pet Spa, known for exceptional care and attention to detail. The spa’s success led to a second location in 2017.
My passion extends to hand scissoring large breeds, including Standard Poodles, Black Russian Terriers, and Irish Water Spaniels. Every groomed coat reflects my dedication to perfection and my love for the craft.
