Why It Works

We designed this for real salons — with real turnover, time constraints, and pressure to deliver safe, consistent grooms.

The Bather Foundations program helps:

Salon owners train faster with less daily supervision
New hires build confidence through repeatable routines
Teams reduce errors and burnout

"This changed how I trained my team"

One salon owner shares what happened when she started using the system:

"Working with Jennifer Oppel and Growing Groomers has been a turning point for me as a salon owner. Her program makes training new groomers and managing staff so much more streamlined. Jennifer’s support has helped me build confidence, structure, and a stronger team. I highly recommend the program to any grooming salon owners ready to grow."

Brittany C., Salon Owner
