MEET BRIA JAY

Bria Jay, born and raised in Gretna, Louisiana, has always had a deep passion for animals, especially dogs. From a young age, she demonstrated compassion for dogs and knew she wanted to turn that love into a career. In late 2019, Bria took a leap of faith, quitting her job to pursue her dream of becoming a dog groomer. Since then, she has gained extensive hands-on training and continued to educate herself through various courses.

Bria’s grooming journey led her to exciting opportunities, including being featured on ABC’s TV show Pooch Perfect, where she participated alongside her mentor in a creative grooming competition. Beyond her passion for grooming, Bria is a proud mother of three beautiful girls, who inspire her every day to strive for excellence in her craft.

In 2024, Bria took the bold step of starting her own business, Poised Pooch Grooming Studio LLC, with the hope of spreading joy throughout her community through her work and kindness.

“My greatest reward is seeing the smiles on my clients’ faces after their pooch’s appointment. I am committed to creating a stress-free and comfortable environment for every dog that walks through my doors. My daughters are my inspiration, and everything I do is for them. I want to show them that it’s okay to chase your dreams— with faith and ambition, anything is possible.” — Bria Jay
