Meet Paragon Rising Star Inalee Row: Turning a Love for Animals into a Grooming Career
Meet Paragon Certified Pet Groomer Inalee Row! Based in Lebanon, Missouri, Inalee’s path into grooming started with a simple goal: helping dogs in her community. After seeing dogs in poor condition around town, she decided to take a chance when she spotted an opening at a local grooming business. That leap eventually led her to Paragon, where she has continued developing her skills and growing as a groomer.
Throughout her coursework, Inalee has demonstrated an incredible eye for detail and a strong commitment to producing quality work. Her attention to preparation and technique has made her submissions stand out, while her perseverance and dedication continue to push her forward as a groomer.
Her mentor, Kaiti Roberson, shares:
“Inalee has an amazing eye for detail and consistently turns in amazing grooms! Her prep work is always ideal and a lot of her submission photos are so close to perfect I find myself doing double takes! She has so much talent, but more than that she has the perseverance and dedication to become a truly amazing groomer!”
