Meet Nicci

Hello, I’m Nicci, Senior Grooming Specialist and the Founder of Paws on Point.

With over 7 years of experience in the industry, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with some of New Zealand’s leading master groomers. These experiences have not only offered me invaluable knowledge and expertise within the industry but also inspired me to push the boundaries, blending creativity with premium pet care.

For me, grooming goes beyond the haircut, it’s about enhancing the whole experience with a fresh, modern approach. My mission is straightforward: to pair premium grooming services with professionalism, making sure every dog leaves looking fresh, feeling great, and with an experience that exceeds all expectations.

Over the years, I’ve had incredible opportunities to compete in grooming competitions and travel to industry expos and seminars around the world. These experiences have shaped my vision for Paws on Point and continue to drive my passion to elevate grooming standards across the board.

Your furry friend deserves nothing but the best, and I’m here to ensure they receive just that!
