Melinda's Story

Originally born in Hungary, Cute Cutz founder Melinda Guban moved to Ireland in 2005.

Taking up the craft of professional dog grooming in 2007, Melinda was able to hone her craft and skills to then be able to then open her own professional dog grooming salon, Cute Cutz in 2015.

Growing from strength to strength, Cute Cutz has since grown to employ four full-time staff – some of whom are Certified Canine Responders, and have won prestigious grooming awards, both at the national and international level.

Today, Cute Cutz provide dog grooming services as well as professional grooming courses for those looking to learn and refine the craft of professional dog grooming.

In partnership with her husband Peter, Melinda now also runs Cute Cutz’s sister company – a successful e-commerce store – providing specially-curated dog grooming tools and equipment for beginners and professionals alike.
