Eve Raison
Eve Raison is an internationally respected EGA judge and two-time World Team Grooming Champion, known for her technical excellence and artistic approach to grooming.
She became French Champion in all categories at just 19 years old and has since earned 25 gold medals, including 5 Best in Show titles, along with numerous top-level international awards. Her career highlights include winning the European Oster Trophy (2006) and World Team Championship titles in 2007 and 2011.
A defining moment came at Groomania 2011, where she achieved a remarkable triple victory: Best in Show, the Richard Barker Trophy, and World Team Champion, alongside Valérie Solé, Nathalie Bourgeois, and Laetitia Renoud-Grappin.
Born into a family of renowned grooming champions, Eve is the founder of the GroomER Academy (GroomEve Raison Academy) and the Dandy Dog training and grooming centre in Annecy, following the creation of her Parisian salon Le Paradis Canin. She is currently Captain and Selector of the French Grooming Team and is regularly invited to judge and demonstrate across Europe and Asia.
Passionate about education and creativity, Eve is especially fond of grooming mixed-breed dogs, where she enjoys adapting technique and artistry to each dog’s unique morphology.
“From the stunning town of Annecy in Haute-Savoie, please welcome a legendary groomer — Ève Raison. Born into a family of champions, she built her own legacy with 25 gold medals and 5 Best in Show titles. Her most unforgettable triumph was Groomania 2011, winning the Richard Barker Trophy and the Team World Championship. Captain of the French Team and mentor to many, Ève continues to inspire us all.”
“Ève Raison was born into grooming excellence. As the daughter of Evelyne and Gérard Raison, both champions, she inherited passion, discipline, and artistic flair from an early age. Over the years, she forged an extraordinary career: 25 gold medals, 5 Best in Show titles, and countless unforgettable victories. One of the greatest moments came at Groomania 2011 — a magical weekend where she won the Richard Barker Trophy, Best in Show, and the Team World Championship alongside Valérie Solé, Nathalie Bourgeois, and Laetitia Renoud-Grappin.
Beyond titles, Ève’s love lies in grooming mix-breed dogs, where no standard limits her creativity — transforming ordinary strays into elegant companions. Her journey even brought her to television, in the programme ‘4 pattes pour une famille’, helping shelter dogs regain health and beauty on their way to adoption.
Today, as captain of the French National Team and director of a grooming academy, Ève devotes herself to passing on her knowledge. Her heartfelt message: believe in yourselves, work hard, surround yourselves with the right people, and above all — love what you do.”
