Mission Statement

GROOMING IS MORE THAN A ROUTINE IT’S A LUXURY SPA DAY DESIGNED TO NURTURE BOTH THE PET AND THEIR WELL-BEING.

After years of working in high-volume grooming salons, I realized something was missing - peace. The fast pace and constant turnover left little room to truly care for each pet the way they deserved. Not only was it stressful for the dogs, but it also took a toll on my own mental health.

I founded Topknot Pet Salon & Spa with a different vision: a calm, low-volume environment where every pup gets unrushed, personalized attention. By limiting the number of pets we see each day, we create a stress-free experience that prioritizes comfort, safety, and gentle care.

Credentials & Experience

In an industry that’s largely unregulated, I believe pet parents deserve the reassurance of knowing their groomer is truly qualified, educated, and committed to the highest standards of care. That’s why I chose to go above and beyond what’s required.

I am CPR and First Aid Certified, an AKC S.A.F.E. Certified Groomer, Fear Free Certified and hold my Professional Grooming Credential through the American Kennel Club. These certifications reflect my dedication to safety, gentle handling, and continuing education because your dog deserves nothing less.

I’ve expanded my skills through private lessons with highly skilled groomers and by participating in the world of competitive grooming. I’ve competed at Groom Expo West in Pasadena for multiple years earning Best First Timer in Poodles and returning the following year in the Bedlington Terrier class to continue refining my technique and artistry. Competing pushes me to elevate my work, stay current, and always challenge myself creatively.

I want every grooming experience to feel easy, stress-free, and personalized for both you and your pet. Here’s a simple look at what you can expect from start to finish:

What it’s like to work together

Booking Your Appointment

Choose a time that works for you and receive a quick confirmation with all the info you need.

Personalized Check-In

When you arrive, I greet your pet, learn about their personality, and review any grooming requests, sensitivities, or special needs. This ensures the service is tailored specifically to them.

Stress Free Grooming Services

From bathing and brushing to nail trims, ear cleaning, and full haircuts, each service is done with precision and care. Using high-quality products for your dog’s coat and skin.

Finishing Touches

Once grooming is complete, I add finishing touches like cute accessories bandanas, or bows based on your preferences. I’ll also check your dog’s skin, coat, and nails for anything you may want to be aware of.

Pick-Up & Review

At pick-up, you’ll receive a brief, thoughtful review of your dog’s session along with any observations to keep them looking and feeling their best between visits

Happy, Clean, & Comfortable

Your pet goes home looking great, smelling fresh, and feeling their best. My goal is to make every grooming experience positive, gentle, and something you both can look forward to.

Testimonials

Steph & Brodie

“Alisa has always been Brodie’s favorite! Whenever she is around Alisa I don’t exist. She is so gentle and always pays attention to every single detail of the groom. Every time Brodie comes home I can tell she has had a relaxing experience. Brodie knows she is heading to the salon and she is in a rush to get there. Alisa always gives her individual attention and we all love it. The environment is always warm and calm. We will definitely be bringing her to Topknot forever.”
Keshet & Mozzarella

“My little Mozzarella is a fluffy pink cloud with a heartbeat, so choosing the right groomer is everything. Alisa treats her like royalty every single visit with gentle hands, patient care, and the sweetest attention to every tiny detail. She listens closely to my instructions, understands the look I want, and brings it to life with softness and love. Mozzarella always returns to me smelling dreamy, feeling refreshed, and looking extra beautiful- perfectly pink, perfectly fluffy, perfectly her.”
Myra, Patrick, & Pepper

“We love taking our dog Pepper to Alisa for her grooming. She always does an amazing job making sure Pepper has a great time getting cleaned up and leaves her looking better than ever. She always comes back feeling extra soft and smelling great. We especially love that Alisa gives her the best TLC leaving her picture perfect with her gifted treat or accessory. We will always go with Alisa for Pepper’s grooming needs!”
Jennifer & Millie

“Alisa has been grooming my miniature poodle Millie for 4 years now. Alisa is an excellent, skilled groomer. Millie always returns to me beautifully trimmed with silky soft hair. Alisa takes wonderful care of the dogs in her care-she builds a genuine bond and I can see the love and care she takes with her clients. Millie is always excited to see Alisa. I would recommend Alisa to anyone!”
Cesar & Sebas

“I can’t say enough good things about Alisa. She has been my dog Sebas’s groomer for many years now and I refuse to take him with anyone else because she’s never once let me down. Every time he comes back he looks better than ever. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in good hands and is being treated like if he was her own. She will have my continued business for many years to come. I truly appreciate her and highly recommend her services.”

Meet Alisa

THE HEART BEHIND TOPKNOT PET SALON & SPA.

I was born with a love for animals with my first dream being to become a veterinarian. After completing veterinary internships, I realized that path wasn’t the right fit for me. The moment I turned 16, I began volunteering at the local animal shelter, where my passion for animal care only grew stronger.

It wasn’t until I worked at a dog daycare and saw a groomer in action that I truly found my calling. From that moment on, I knew grooming was the perfect career… a way to combine my creativity, patience, and love for animals into something that makes pets (and their people) feel happy and cared for.

Outside of the salon, I embrace all things pink, fun, and cutesy. I love collecting trinkets and figures, going to the movies, and enjoying life with my friends and family. My goal is to bring that same joy and passion into my work, making every pup’s grooming experience not just a necessity, but a luxury treat.
