Summer Zhou | Instructor and Principal Stylist
The Pets Workshop @ Tampines

Summer’s pet grooming career began after she graduated from one of the top pet grooming schools in Singapore. She then went on to join a leading pet grooming establishment and eventually became a team lead of one of its outlets, which accounts for Summer’s wealth of experience in pet grooming.

Even with her ample experience, Summer does not rest on her laurels as she continues to work to obtain her master certification. Apart from working on her master certification, Summer is a firm believer of continuing education and she attends webinars frequently to acquire new grooming knowledge and know-how to further refine her grooming skills.

Summer’s desire to redefine pet care is evident in the approach of The Pets Workshop Academy towards pet grooming education as well. Leading new learners into the world of professional pet grooming by equipping them with the necessary technical skills is the fundamental expectation at The Pets Workshop Academy. However, the pet grooming industry is in a constant process of being re-defined. The status of domestic pets is evolving, and so are the expectations and awareness of customers. Summer believes that this development is welcoming, but it means that it is no longer adequate for aspiring pet groomers to be just technically competent at what they do. This is why at The Pets Workshop Academy, Summer strives not only to oversee the technical development of students, but to also assist them to build a relationship of trust with fur-kids and their pawrents. Summer’s mission is to ensure that our students are able to go out into the market, confident, compassionate and with the hunger to redefine the pet care industry.
