I got my first celebrity client from Instagram. I go on Instagram and tag celebrities I know who had dogs. I DM them and advertise my services. One day I received a call from the celebrity client to book an appointment for her dog.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

Hi everyone, I’m Thequila Hill Celebrity Pet Stylist. Im from Rochester New York I first moved to Atlanta Ga. in 2006. I worked at Pet Smart as a bather assistant. I work at Pet Smart in Atlanta for a while and ended up moving back home to Rochester. I transferred my job and continue has a bather assistant. Working in the field for a while and beginning to love what I was doing I had the opportunity to go to grooming school. I completed grooming school with Pet Smart in Rochester. I work at Pet smart for 6 years. I ended up moving back to Atlanta in 2013 where I work at couple of shops. However in 2013 I started TH Grooming. I build my website and began to market myself on social media outlets. I tag celebrities I know who had dogs. Finally my first celebrity client reached out to me in 2013. I offer dog and cat grooming services. I work from home. In house dog grooming and I also travel to people homes where I set up in their house and groom their pets.
Clients want a groomer they can trust with their pet and also get great service. I solve that problem when I started TH Grooming. I work from home in a quiet and clean environment where the dogs can feel safe and comfortable . I can take my time with the pet and not feel rushed.
I’m very proud of myself that I stay consistent with my business and not give up. I focus on TH Grooming and how I could better my business so that I can keep my clients happy and also the pets. I love when the owner pick up their dogs and their full of smiles and happy to see their dog with a fresh new hair cut or cool colors of their choice.
I want my new followers to know that I’m very passionate at what I do. I love to groom dogs and cats. I love to get creative . It’s nothing like seeing a client so happy when they pick up their pets.

Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?

The best effective strategy for growing my clientele is having my website and being on Google. Also having a professional profile on Instagram. On google I post pictures and the services I offer. On my website I get creative and post cool photos that stand out. I list the services I offer along with pricing. Instagram is huge that’s where I got all my celebrity clients from . They see my professional profile and reach out.

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?

Honestly I think what help build my reputation is that I put out great work and I professional.
