Owner & Master Groomer
Meet Addison.
The Traveling Tail isn't a franchise with a rotating roster. It's one certified master groomer, one meticulously equipped van, and one standard that never moves — because Addison does every single groom herself.

Her story
Gifted hands, a gentle heart, and an eye for every detail.
Addison founded The Traveling Tail to do grooming the way she always believed it should be done — one dog at a time, in a calm van in your own driveway, with no cages and no clock running. A certified Master Groomer and Fear Free Certified Professional, she is exceptionally talented with every coat type, from wiry terriers to heavy double coats, and she still does every single groom herself.
Addison is simply amazing at what she does. Her scissor work is precise, her finishes are flawless, and she has a rare gift for reading a dog the moment she meets them — the nervous rescue, the wiggly puppy, the senior who needs a little extra patience all leave calm, comfortable and looking their very best. Owners notice the difference the first time.
Today she serves Lampasas and the surrounding towns solo, by design. Keeping it to one groomer means the person you meet is the person who remembers everything: your dog's coat history, the ear that needs extra care, the exact length you liked last time.
Credentials
Certified, and continuously re-certified
Grooming is an unregulated trade in most of the country — anyone can buy clippers and call themselves a groomer. These are the credentials that separate a trained professional from a hobbyist.
How she works
Three rules she won't bend
One dog at a time
Your dog is never crated, never waiting, never sharing the space with a stranger's anxious terrier. From the moment the van door opens until they trot back inside, her attention is entirely theirs.
The groom ends when the dog says so
No production quota, no stacked appointments. If a nervous rescue needs three breaks and a slow introduction to the dryer, that is what the appointment becomes.
Honesty over upselling
If a coat is too matted to brush out humanely, she will tell you plainly and recommend the kinder option — even when it is the cheaper one.
The Traveling Tail Experience
Every groom, start to finish, by Addison.
One groomer means limited slots — book early, especially for weekends.
