Very pleased to say after my last post about pre booking from now to December you heard and came out in force!

My diary is nearly complete for the rest of the year!!!

If you haven’t secured your spot/spots then I would urge you to do so now to avoid disappointment!

As I am only working part time now it does not take me long to book up!

To all my regulars I have pre booked all of your appts so just check in with me and I can let you know dates 😊

Thanks all ###

Thank you once again for everyone who has made the last 3 months run so smoothly!

We have settled back into 2 hourly appts nicely but once again if you need to drop off earlier and/or pick up a little bit later than their scheduled appt just shoot me a message to see if it is okay to do so. A couple of reasons for that is I might not be working a full day or a dog that is scheduled might like their own space so they have one on one appts only.

I am starting to organise my diary for the run into Xmas so it goes as smoothly as possible! I am not working the month of December (but can facilitate a couple of appts here and there for emergencies if needed)

Please advise me asap if you need an appt so you do not miss out.

I am always open to any concerns or things that I need to address so just let me know.

Love you all and I can’t thank you enough for everyone that returned ❤️

Hello All,

What a lovely drop of rain we are having!!

Just a little reminder (and a hey this happens to new clients 😀) that due to my set up here I do not work when it is raining ☔️.

Unfortunately my bathing area and more importantly drying area are under the eaves of the carport as most of you know and that area still gets affected by the rain.

I know this can be a pain when I have to reschedule appts and I do apologise for the inconvenience. It just doesn’t rain enough in Bundaberg so we haven’t invested any more money to fix that situation.

Thanks again 🌸❤️🌸

🌸🌸Update🌸🌸

Well I have been back at it for 8 weeks and must say the time off was fantastic as I am back to enjoying every moment with all my clients!!

Thank you for everyone that has rebooked with me and a couple of new clients!!

So I did start with the premise of all dogs coming at 9am and leaving at 3pm but

A: with me not being ultra busy to start and
B: more people were comfortable at keeping the appts to the 2 hour mark like it used to be.

I have decided to cut my work day down to 3 dogs per day Monday - Thursday only and appts are back to 2 hours. So times will be:

1st appt of the day 9am - 11am
2nd appt of the day 11am - 1pm
3rd appt of the day 1pm - 3pm

But I must stress that I am working by appt only and I am not guaranteed to be working 9am - 3pm I will be working those hours as required.

Please always check with me first if you need to drop off earlier and pick up later than their appt. But I will only be taking dogs no earlier than 9am and having them here no later than 3pm.

Lastly as I will only be doing 3 dogs per day 4 days per week when the weather heats up I will obviously become booked out pretty quick so if everyone can prebook their hot weather appts soon that would be great so you do not miss out.

I will not be working in December due to helping out Sarah with her business. But most clients are 6 weeks - 10 weeks between grooms so we can factor that in when making their bookings.

Thanks again everyone for supporting me once again ❤️❤️

Benji came in last week for a winter tidy up…doesn’t look too impressed 😂❤️😘

01/08/2024

Little Miss Ellie is at the gate and waiting to go…I try not to take it personally that she is done with me 😂😂

20/07/2024

Thank you to everyone who is making bookings with me again I so appreciate it!!!

I have been pretty flexible at the moment as not ultra busy by any means so dogs only need to be here for their appt times if that was a concern to anyone.

Currently have a few spots available Wednesday and Thursday for this coming week.

Thanks all 🌸🙏

07/07/2024

I have some appts available this week if anyone needs them 😀. As I am not ultra busy dogs do not have to be here till 3pm…most times I can text when they are ready to be picked up. Thanks ☺️

23/06/2024

2nd week back and I do have a few spots if any one needs their pooch in for a tidy up 😊

Was such a lovely week last week and I must say I enjoyed seeing all my little furry friends! Warmed my heart to see some were excited to be back at TAILored Cuts!❤️

As I do have some spots and days are not fully booked I will notify you on drop off if pickup can be before 3pm 😊

Thanks all!

This is why I think my little clients like coming here…sitting up on our lounge waiting for Dad to come and collect ❤️😂

At TAILored Cuts I want your dog to have the best and lest amount of stress time they can possibly have whilst having a furcut! So if they want to and they are well behaved inside they are more than welcome!

Special shout-out to Bumsie…such a cute and well behaved little man! ❤️😊

15/06/2024

1 day to go to reopen! Groom room is back up and running and I had the adorable little Wutzi here to try it back out 🌸❤️🌸

10/06/2024

Hello All,

I just think I need to clarify my new drop off and pick up policy….

All dogs scheduled for a particular day must be dropped off between 8:45am and 9am (no earlier and no later)

All dogs will then be picked up between 2:45 and 3pm (no earlier and no later). The only time this will change is if your dog is not enjoying their time here, showing aggression or barking excessively!

This new method will work out best for me as I will have them all bathed first and then work on their clips after and will have no interruptions of any comings and goings.

I can then effectively and efficiently complete their grooms and still fit the maximum dogs in for my day whilst only working part time.

I hope that clears up any confusion but please message if still unsure.

Thanks, Kirrily

Omg everybody!!! You are all just so lovely ❤️🌸❤️. I have already filled half of my first and second week appts!!! The response has been so heartwarming to me and I appreciate it very much!

I have had a lovely 9 months off from grooming and I have fully recharged my batteries…I am still dabbling in my other business with my daughter Sarah hence why I have only come back part time.

I have truly missed seeing all of my little furry friends so I am so excited to restart and see their cute squishy little faces ❤️❤️

Just a heads up I will be taking the month of December off to help Sarah so we will ensure all your grooming needs are taken care of right up till the end of November 😊

Thanks again ###

🌸My Big News🌸

I will be coming back to grooming Part Time.

Monday - Thursday
9am - 3pm

There will be some changes from your previous experience with TAILored Cuts as in pricing and pick up and drop off.

Drop Off: will be required between 8:45am and 9am.
Pick Up: will be required between 2:45 and 3pm.
(Gates will be locked outside those hours)

So essentially your dogs must get along with others as all dogs will be here at the same time. I will have the ability to seperate dogs if needed.

If your dog shows stress, aggression or excessive barking I will require them to be picked up asap and you will be notified by text 😊

Please note if those times do not work for you unfortunately I am not the groomer for you 😬❤️

Pricing will be as follows due to the increase of all my overheads I have had to raise prices. Once again I will only be grooming small dogs. I may be able to do some medium dogs if they are easy for me to do and have a sweet nature. Price will be $10 dearer for them).

Full Groom $75
Hygiene/Tidy Groom $50
Bath and Blow Dry $25

Fleas and or Matting will incur an extra charge of $15 to cover the costs associated with those occurrences.

I know that all these changes won’t suit some of my old clients and for that I am sorry but for those that are able to and want to return THANK YOU!

I will be accepting bookings from the 17th of June 😊🌸

Kindest regards,

Kirrily

Looks so good 😊 I am doing a little teaching of grooming here so maybe there is also potential to have your dog groomed at this wonderful establishment too!!! Will be looking for some well behaved dogs in December to practice on ☺️

30/08/2023

⭐️That is a wrap everyone!!!!!!!!!!!⭐️

Thank you everyone that has used me as their groomer over the years! My little business has thrived these last 10 years and for that I am very appreciative❤️

I feel so lucky as I truly believe I have had the best clients in Bundaberg and I will dearly miss so many of you and your little furry babies❤️

Thanks to my husband Bob and daughter Sarah for allowing me to set up my business from our home❤️

A big thank you to my neighbours who have put up with all the comings and goings and for all the dogs that have barked ❤️

Thank you to Kym and Veronika Kneebone who we now call our friends and are 2nd pawrents to our babies❤️

I am pretty sure Archie will miss being security as he took his job very seriously! 😂. Tilly will miss all her old friends I am sure! Thanks to my little mate Sammy (pictured below) who started me on my grooming journey nearly 20 years ago❤️

Thanks once again and I am always just a message away if you need any help or advice ❤️

28/08/2023

How gorgeous are these? Just had to share my beautiful Sister sent them to me as she knew that this week would be a sad one ❤️🌸

14/08/2023

Well we are getting close to the end everyone! Hope everyone is finding another groomer with no troubles! Thanks to all of those that have been able to change their Thursday appts so far as I have been going down to only Tuesday and Wednesday with some Monday appts as my other business takes up my Thursdays! I have the last Thursday of the month appts to reshuffle but will be in touch with all soon about that day! Any questions or problems just let me know! Thanks so much! Kirrily ###

🌻🌻BIG ANNOUNCEMENT🌻🌻

TAILored Cuts Dog Grooming is closing!

I have made the very difficult decision to close up shop. Some people may know I have another fledgling business that I am hoping to put more time into so it is time to close the salon.

It is a decision that has been very difficult to make as I will miss all my little fur friends as well as all of you. Some of you have been with me for as long as TAILored Cuts has been open!

The last day of operation will be the end of August but I may have to shuffle a few Thursday appts around at this stage.

I completely understand if you have an August appt but want to secure appointments elsewhere as soon as possible as other businesses are booking up quick!

Thank you all so much for making the last 10 years such a wonderful time in my life ❤️❤️❤️

22/07/2023

True!! 😂

31/05/2023

I couldn’t resist taking this before and after of little Oakley! She is a big girl now after her very first big girl furcut! Such a sweet girl ❤️

25/05/2023

Adorable and a great price 😊🐶

24/05/2023

It is that time of year where 99% of dogs coming to TAILored Cuts come with these pesky grass seeds…I do try to remove as many as possible but being able to roam free in our yard they can get a couple of new ones from our yard!

I do apologise for this and Bob (hubby) does mow every Saturday or Sunday to keep them at a minimum.

Thanks to all my clients who continue to rebook and use me as their groomer 😊❤️

09/05/2023

Winter seems to be upon us 🥶

You can still give your beloved doggo a nice furcut if you are maintaining their coat🐶😊

I recommend a winter cut and can not stress it enough if they wear coats during the cooler months. Nothing screams matts/knots if you are not giving them a daily brush if they are wearing their winter woolies!

Seen below is a lovely winter length achieved with a comb cut. This can only happen if there are no matts or knots!

If your dog arrives matted I have no choice but to give them a summer cut so please invest in a comb to get those knots out!

I only have your dog a short amount of time and it is near impossible to undo weeks and weeks worth of non brushing. It is painful to the dog and to me to try and save a matted/knotty coat.

Thanks all and stay warm 😊😎

I have a lot of clients wanting to know what to use on their dogs to get rid of the tear stains around the eyes or brown feet and or brown body parts.

This is what other groomers have recommended from around the country when posed the question.

This is a daily food additive so not something I can administer on dogs here.

Top 3 things were:-

~ Add Glow Groom to their food/snacks
~ Distilled drinking water from a ceramic bowl
~ Teaspoon Greek Yoghurt daily

If wanting to purchase Glow Groom just Google search it and will come up with a multitude of places where you can get some 😊

*Please note I haven’t personally tried any of these remedies as I have never had a dog with tear staining and or brown discolouration.

Hope that helps 😊

🐣 🐣EASTER HOLIDAYS🐣🐣

TAILored Cuts will be closed :-

From 6th of April and will reopen 17th of April.

ALSO

From Monday April the 24th TAILored Cuts will only be operating Tuesday to Thursday 8:30am - 4:30pm with a few selected Mondays and Fridays for those that have already made bookings for the year on those days.

This will obviously mean it will be even harder to gain a booking unless you have prebooked your appointments. I will not be taking on any new clients for awhile. I do try and work with any clients that need to rebook prebooked appts as life happens and things can change from when you made a booking.

Please be aware if you do inadvertently miss your appointment it will be very hard to gain another appt in a timely fashion so please be aware of your appts 😀

Thanks all 😊 Kirrily
