Raena How | Stylist

Raena How stepped into the pet grooming industry slightly more than three years ago, before earning her Singapore Kennel Club Class C certification in August 2022. In her previous role, Raena How had the opportunity to pick up pet grooming skills, and she managed to gain a lot of practical and solid experience in pet grooming and animal handling in those three years working with pets. Suffice it to say, it is not typical for a newly minted professional groomer to possess the depth of skills possessed by Raena How, and the strength of The Pets Workshop is greatly enhanced with Raena How's arrival.

Summer Zhou | Instructor and Principal Stylist

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.

Bellerie Leaow | Instructor and Executive Stylist

Prior to joining The Pets Workshop, Bellerie, a C Class - Award of Merit winner, was a pet stylist in an established grooming outlet which provided a platform for her to continue honing and refining her skills. Combining her earlier extensive experience as a grooming assistant, and her meticulous and attentive personality, Bellerie is in her element in a fast-paced environment of a pet salon.

Having been with the Pets Workshop since our inception, Bellerie has developed further into a proficient stylist with strong managerial skills. She now heads the Tampines outlets as an Executive Stylist and works with Summer in coaching our new generations of pet grooming students and pet owners.

May Leong | Executive Stylist

May is the first Executive Stylist of The Pets Workshop, and brings with her extensive experience in pet grooming and management skills. Prior to joining The Pets Workshop, May rose through the ranks of a premium pet grooming chain in Singapore to lead one of its outlets.

May is not just a technically proficient, award-winning stylist who focuses on technical competency, but she is a professional who seeks to cultivate a strong relationship with pets, embodying the philosophy of The Pets Workshop. A pawrent to two cute poodles, May understands what pawrents expect, and the needs of our furry companions.

May will lead her team of professionals at NEX Pet Safari to deliver what customers and friends have come to expect of The Pets Workshop – a premium pet grooming experience with pets at the centre of everything we do.

After earning her Singapore Kennel Club ("SKC") Class C certification in 2017, Qi Xuan took on the role of teaching assistant in a local pet grooming school where she assisted with imparting grooming knowledge to students. This stint further strengthened Qi Xuan's grooming fundamentals and knowledge. She went on to earn her SKC Class B certification, topping the category with a Best Technical Award.

Chang Lee Chin (JingJing) | Instructor and Stylist

JingJing heads our feline outlet at Tampines Central 1, having been mentored by Summer, our resident cat expert.

Under guidance from Summer, JingJing has acquired comprehensive technical skills to meet the diverse needs of our cat-owning customers. She is fast gaining recognition from our customers who have continuously commended her skill and service levels. JingJing is also an Instructor at the feline outlet, leading the effort to impart our grooming knowledge and know-how with cat enthusiasts.
