The weekend of February 7-8, 2026 transformed the peaceful town of Graulhet, in the heart of France, into a grooming epicenter. The occasion? The much-anticipated Ciseaux d’Or, a prestigious competition bringing together many talented groomers.
For Diamex, this event was not only another opportunity to demonstrate the expertise and know-how of its Ambassadors, but also to reveal some wonderful surprises that left a lasting impression.
The Diamex Team, our Ambassadors, and… a double surprise!
In the hustle and bustle of the Ciseaux d’Or, Diamex was supported by an impressive constellation of talent. The Diamex Team was represented by Molly Taminiaux and Laura Clair, ready to demonstrate their usual precision and expertise. They were joined by our French ambassadors Nathalie Marquie and Cyril Guérillon, while GroomTeam The Netherlands was also on hand with Diana Nab and Anita Ten Brincke-te Brake. All, without exception, put their wealth of experience and impeccable technique to good use, making Diamex’s colors shine on the international stage.
And the icing on the cake: the entry into the ring of two exceptional grooming figures who have joined our big family: Allison Cabibbo, an unrivalled groomer, already a multi-champion and European Champion 2025, whose talent no longer needs proving, and the very promising Adèle Picaut, a young groomer who, despite her young age, has already demonstrated remarkable talent. Their arrival in the Diamex Team is a source of great pride and a major asset for our future ambitions!
Remarkable performance!
The performances of our ambassadors once again lived up to their reputations, testifying to work of unquestionable finesse and excellence. The results speak for themselves:
- Cyril Guérillon brilliantly took 3rd place in the Pure Breed Open category, demonstrating his mastery by brilliantly sublimating a Newfoundland, a breed he loves and masters to perfection.
- Adèle Picaut , making her official debut in our colors, impressed the judges with a remarkable 3rd place in the Workshop category with an impeccably groomed Spitz. A performance which now confirms her immense potential and promising future.
- Allison Cabibbo, with her seasoned experience, demonstrated the full extent of her talent by claiming a magnificent 2nd place in the Standard Poodle Champion category. Her work was, as usual, of surgical precision and rare elegance, much to everyone’s admiration.
- Anita Ten Brincke-te Brake from GroomTeam The Netherlands, who as always did an outstanding job, taking 2nd place in the Handstripping Champion category.
- Nathalie Marquie was awarded the prize for best clipper work, in recognition of her impeccable technique and precise craftsmanship, which won over the judges.
A collective success, and a promising future!
This year’s edition of the Ciseaux d’Or will be remembered as yet another collective success for the entire Diamex Team. Between the podiums brilliantly conquered by our confirmed ambassadors, the special distinctions and the exciting integration of these two new ambassadors of shock, our family continues to grow, to strengthen and to shine with renewed fervor on the international grooming scene. Our heartfelt congratulations go out to all of them for their unfailing commitment, their contagious passion and the magnificent work they accomplish day after day! The season is off to a flying start, and we’re already looking forward to the next wonders and victories in store for our talented teams.
