Best Dog Groomers to Follow on Instagram

Depending on which dog you ask, a trip to even the best dog groomers can either be as relaxing as a human spa day, or a scary ordeal. These dog groomers strut their stuff with not a scare in site.

Ask a dog how they feel about grooming and you’ll get one of two answers: spa day or hostage situation. Either way, the people doing the grooming have turned it into some of the most watchable content online. The best dog groomer accounts mix real skill with a sense of humor, and some of them are doing things with clippers and pet-safe color you didn’t know were possible.

These are the dog groomers we think are worth a follow, whether your dog is a salon regular or hides under the bed at the sight of a brush.

How We Picked the Best Dog Groomer Accounts

  • Great content, not just content. We scrolled every feed on this list. An account had to be fun or fascinating to watch, not just busy.
  • A signature. Every groomer here has something you’ll recognize in a second: a running series, a style or a mission.
  • Real grooming. These are working groomers, and the dogs are the stars, not the product plugs.
  • A clean record. We searched the news for every groomer on this list and left out anyone facing welfare complaints.

Jess Rona Grooming – Los Angeles, California, USA

Jess Rona has groomed for celebrity clients for years, and NBC News profiled the “dog groomer to the stars” as her slow-motion blow-dry videos took off. Today her feed is just as funny as it is polished.

The series to watch is “Someone Needs a Bang Trim.” Jess walks the streets of LA, spots a dog whose fur has grown over its eyes, and offers the owner a free trim on the spot so the dog can see again. Some owners say yes, some say absolutely not (she posts the rejections too), and the before-and-after reveals are pure joy. She has even given shelter dogs the treatment, trimming their bangs to help them find a home.

Gabriel Feitosa – San Diego, California, USA

Gabriel Feitosa is the reason you might one day see a giraffe walking down the street on a leash. He’s a creative groomer who uses pet-safe dye and sculpted cuts to turn dogs into giraffes, tigers, lions and even goldfish. His giraffe pup is one of his most-loved posts, with hundreds of thousands of likes.

It’s a business as well as an art form. Fox Business reported that his transformations bring in more than a million dollars a year.

Dogs by Logan – San Diego, California, USA

Logan Rago has about a million Instagram followers and a signature you won’t find anywhere else: he pays special attention to the rear view. His finishing touches often land where the tail meets the trim, like the corgi he sent home with a heart-shaped “cutie mark” on its bottom.

Beyond the butts, the feed is full of fun colors, fluffy makeovers and quick lessons on how different coats behave. It’s the account for anyone who likes their grooming content with a wink.

Bridgit’s Barking Bow-tique – Florida, USA

Bridgit Gross’s signature is the rainbow. She’s a Florida groomer who uses pet-safe color to give dogs full-spectrum coats, and the results look like walking works of art. She once turned a doodle named Mylo into Van Gogh’s The Starry Night.

Her skills have taken her well beyond her own salon: in 2026 she taught creative grooming at SuperZoo, the big pet industry show in Las Vegas. Between the color work, you’ll find day-in-the-life videos and a glittering pink salon that looks as fun as the dogs.

The Dogfather of Harlem – New York City, USA

If you live uptown, you’ve probably seen the van. Brian Taylor, the Dogfather of Harlem, runs Harlem Doggie Day Spa, which marks 16 years this October, and a bright pink mobile grooming van called Fur Heroes that turns heads on every block.

That van is the star of the feed. Grooms happen right on the street, neighbors stop to watch, and a dog goes in scruffy and comes out looking brand new. He also gives back: his Pup Relief Tour gave free grooms to more than 1,400 dogs, as Adopt a Pet reported.

Girl With The Dogs – Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada

Vanessa De Prophetis does some of the most important grooming on this list. As Bored Panda reported, she works with rescue centers to groom neglected and badly matted animals for free, often the dogs and cats nobody else can handle.

Her feed follows those rescues, like a group of puppy mill survivors she made a priority so they could start new lives. The transformations are dramatic, and her running commentary keeps even the hardest cases hopeful. Follow this one for the feel-good ending every time.

Mehmet Gunes – Istanbul, Türkiye

There are pet groomers, and there are pet stylists. Mehmet is definitely a stylist. Bored Panda featured his work from his Istanbul salon, where fluffy Pomeranians and poodles leave looking like plush toys.

His videos are calm and rhythmic: the clipping and brushing turns into an ASMR-like break in your day, and the dogs look blissed out. The captions are in Turkish, but you won’t need a translation to enjoy the results.

Shu and Tree, Lalla Pet Salon and Lovely Grooming – South Korea and Japan

These three groomers have perfected the same irresistible look: the round, plush-toy cut that makes a dog look like a stuffed animal come to life. If you love Asian-style grooming, follow all three.

Shu and Tree, in Yongin, South Korea, is the biggest of the group, with a huge YouTube following and reels that pass a quarter of a million likes. Lalla Pet Salon, also in Korea, is known for perfectly round Bichons and Pomeranians, and Bored Panda featured its cuts. Lovely Grooming, a private salon in Tokyo, specializes in gentle puppy first grooms and teddy-bear cuts.

Barkytech has been obsessed with smart pet gadgets since 2019, back when a "smart" feeder was mostly a timer with big dreams. We're a small team of pet-tech nerds who read the specs nobody else reads and sift through piles of real owner reviews to figure out which gadgets actually make life better for your cat, dog, or bunny, and which ones are all app and no substance.
