Hi, I’m Ingra, an Internationally Certified Professional Groomer and co-founder of Shear Craftsman alongside my husband, Scott. I’ve managed grooming businesses for 10+ years—owning a mobile grooming franchise (later sold) and running a home salon. That experience taught me what clients value most and helps me guide Scott on the function and use of the tools he maintains. I also curate retail products—items I’d proudly use in my own salon.

At Shear Craftsman, I keep scheduling and the back office running smoothly so Scott can focus on sharpening and client relationships. Outside the salon, I spend time with my two Airedale Terriers and Russell Terrier and love the AKC Montgomery dog show circuit each October—plus beach days and travel with Scott and my mom.

Limited seatings! 2 Classes scheduled!
