Conversations with Asami Kuroki

Today we’d like to introduce you to Asami Kuroki.

Asami Kuroki

Hi Asami, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory. 
I had cancer, and during the healing process (I went to Japan), one of my dogs (here in the us) passed away, and I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye. That night, I had a dream of working with animals. I returned to us a few days later and started looking for a grooming job. I am self-taught in everything about grooming. I became good at what I do. I can communicate with animals better than humans. I started working at Pasadena, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Brentwood, and Bel Air. My parents got very sick at the same time. I decided to take a risk to open my own after Bel Air Store chose to close. 

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Building clientele was the hardest thing for me. I wanted to focus on my parents taking care of them (they both are in wheelchairs). It requires a lot of money, and I only want to groom quality service, not quantities, so I questioned myself: how do I do that? 

I manifest only high-end clientele to balance my life, but how do I get to them, etc? 

Little by little, a few clients told about their friends and family members. 

After that, I quickly built hundreds of 

High clientele. 

Thanks – so, what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I’m a groomer. I take my time to get to know each animal before I started to groom. 

I’m a little different than other groomers because I’m an animal rescuer past 18 years… I’m good at earning trust from 

Animals who are neglected and abused disabled animals. 

I also medical Foster to heal animals 

Is there any advice you’d like to share with our readers who might just be starting out?
Take your time for creation and be patient
