michigan school of canine cosmetology

artistic grooming taught by true professionals

At the Michigan School of Canine Cosmetology, we have been teaching the art of pet grooming since 1986. The combination of our hands-on learning approach and state of the art equipment has students from all over the country choosing MSCC for their grooming education. Our teaching philosophy centers on the belief that you learn by doing. In order to fully grasp the skills we teach, students need to be present so they can have direct, first hand experiences with an instructor present to guide them. While online learning may sound appealing, we firmly believe that the quality of your education benefits from a hands-on learning environment.

As an educational institution, making sure our industry is full of well-educated, compassionate, and confident groomers is our top priority. Contact us today to find out how we can bring your own grooming aspirations to life.
