Ask Barb

igroomhub’s Agony Aunt Extraordinaire!

MEET BARB

Meet Barb Taylor-Taylor, the grooming world’s golden girl with over 60 fabulous years of experience. With her signature Pomeranian-golden locks, Barb is a true grooming icon, a walking homage to the breeds she adores—full of style, sass, and secrets from decades in the biz.

Hello there! I’m delighted to meet you all, possums! You know, I began my career when pet grooming was still a novelty, back when scissors were too long, shampoo was too strong, and doodle meant something entirely different. Over my decades in the biz, I’ve perfected my craft, mastering every trick from hand-scissoring to handling the most spirited clients.

Now semi-retired (we never really give it up, do we?) I spend my days sipping tea (Lady Grey), hosting my crochet club, and answering grooming dilemmas as igroomhub’s Agony Aunt. If you’re in need of guidance or just a fresh perspective, I’ve got you covered like mint on a julep! I can’t wait to hear from you!
