Why Netta Furry Babies

Show-ring skill, applied to the dog on your couch.

Competition-trained hands

Johnette has competed at GroomD and Fun in the Sun grooming shows and holds AKC Curly Coat certification — the same precision goes into every everyday groom.

Truly all breeds welcome

Big, small, young, senior, anxious, curly, double-coated — every dog gets a personalized plan, backed by certifications in behavior, psychology, and safe handling.

An award-winning experience

Best of Florida winner two years running, Best of Bold City honoree, and a finalist for Best of Clay — voted by the pet parents we serve.

Signature Grooming

Grooming is the whole craft — and the whole heart.

Netta Furry Babies is built around one thing done exceptionally well: grooming. Every appointment is shaped by competition-level training and a genuine love for the dog on the table — whatever their breed, size, age, or temperament.

  • Breed-standard & custom styling — from show-quality trims to the everyday cut that suits your dog and your routine.
  • Coat specialists — curly, wire, double-coated, and everything between, backed by AKC curly-coat certification and hand-stripping expertise.
  • Skin & coat health — gentle, thorough bathing and finishing that keeps your dog comfortable and looking their best.
  • Calm, certified handling — training in pet first aid, behavior, and anxious-dog care means every visit is safe and low-stress.

Meet Johnette

The groomer behind the wagging tails.

Johnette Wiggins didn't just build a grooming business — she built a standard. A graduate of Animal Behavior College and the Dear Black Girl program, she has stacked certifications most groomers never pursue: pet psychology, aggression handling, natural remedies, poodle anatomy and angulation, and AKC-recognized expertise in curly coats.

That dedication has been noticed. She's appeared on The Sherri Shepherd Show, made multiple appearances on River City Living, earned magazine spotlights celebrating excellence in pet grooming, won the 2024 Best Boss Award, and was nominated for 40 Under 40 at the Florida Black Excellence Fest.

But ask her what matters most, and it isn't the trophies — it's the dog on her table right now.

"Every accolade is a reflection of the love, loyalty, and legacy that lives in every wagging tail we serve."

Competitive Grooming

From the salon floor to the show ring.

Competitive grooming demands flawless technique under pressure — anatomy, angulation, balance, and finish, judged against the best in the industry. Johnette keeps stepping into that ring, and keeps leveling up:

  • GroomD 2025 — Poodle DivisionFormerly the Atlanta Pet Fair, with her partner in style, Dice the Doodle
  • Fun in the Sun Grooming Show 2025 — Wire Coated BreedsSponsored by Groomers Mart
  • GroomD 2026 — Wire Coated BreedsBack in the ring, sharper than ever

It's the same eye for detail that shapes every groom back home in Jacksonville.
