Marlis Higgins, a graduate of The Wisconsin School of Professional Pet Grooming, has a passion for pets! A lover of dogs and cats, Marlis embarked (no pun intended) upon her grooming career after spending too many years in the corporate world. “I knew there was more to life then managing mundane day-to-day business. I wanted my fur friends to join me at work so I could attend to their needs but the needs of the business dictated “no pets allowed”. Heck, not even on “take your daughter/son to work day” were they allowed to visit”!

Holding a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration from Alverno College, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Marlis decided to start her own business, one that would allow all of her fur friends to join her at work. “Becoming a professional groomer has been the most exciting, diverse career I have ever had. I actually get paid to receive lots of wags, woofs, purrs and kisses. It couldn’t be more satisfying!”

Each day brings something new. Sometimes it’s an ordinary groom on an extraordinary pet! Other days it’s an extraordinary groom on an ordinary pet! Bottom line is that each fur friend is pampered like royalty and their time spent at Cuties To Beauties Pooch Parlor is time that is well spent!

Executive decisions are made with the help of the staff, Barnum, Bailey, Bow and Bridget. Full-time staff members, they are also responsible for welcoming nervous Nellies, barking Beethovens, and timid Toms. Bow, recently promoted to Director of Security, is also responsible for “sniffing out” information . He takes that responsibility seriously and enjoys every second of it!
