What a weekend! If you were looking for our teams and ambassadors on November 29 and 30, 2025, you had to look across the Channel. It was in England, at the prestigious Groomphoria<\/strong> competition, that our teams went for a masterly demonstration of their know-how. <\/p>

For the occasion, a crack team made the trip: Laura Clair<\/strong> and M\u00e9lanie Schmit<\/strong> from Diamex Team<\/em>, Lise Da Costa Fontes<\/strong> and \u00c9milie Paquentin<\/strong> from Diamex Team France<\/em>, our Ambassador Cyril Gu\u00e9rillon<\/strong>, and our partners from Groomteam Netherlands<\/em>: Nike Elbertsen<\/strong>, Diana Nab<\/strong> and Susan Zeestraten<\/strong>.<\/p>

The results? Absolutely incredible<\/strong>. Our teams returned with stars in their eyes and arms full of trophies. International recognition that warms our hearts and proves, once again, the excellence of the groomers who believe in our cosmetics! <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
