The new home salon...
A few setbacks, but we are set up finally!!!!
💩 Poo bags available for any number 2's out the front. Please make sure to clean them up we have a poo bin in the salon.
⚠️Dogs MUST be on a lead on entry!
This is our home and a place my children play and don't want any dogs marking in our outdoor area (cause that's gross)
🔔 Ring the doorbell if the gate is locked and someone will come and open it up for you.
🚗 If the driveway is free, please feel free to park up there on drop off or pick up.
🧊 I don't have air-conditioning installed as yet so any really hot days may be cancelled
Everyone knows I love a BIG BOOF HEAD!!!
Look at Alfie
He is only a young pup still, and he knows the drill.
I don't have to pick him up or lead him onto or into anything at the salon.... he just does what her has to do and loves it. (Maybe not drying his tootsies), but we will get there.
And c'mon look at that bloody face he is handsome as ever!!
Love my big oodles 🫶🩷
✨️HERE IS THE FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT✨️
Sadly, my lease at winstanley Road is up at the end of the month it was a painful and very hard decision to make, but with all the family changes this year and continuing rising costs, this was the right call.
We are currently setting up a little home salon.
🪴I'm going to call the jungle groom (room)🪴
All appointments from now till the 28th-29th of Feb will continue to be at winstanley Salon.
All clients booked from march onwards will be notified with the new address before your booking.
The new home salon will be located in St. Albans Park 3219.
(Only 5 min drive from current salon)
We will keep you all updated on the salon as it comes along.
We hope you all understand and are willing to follow us over. If not, we completely understand.
What's going to happen to winstanley Salon....?
Starting mid-end march
Kate from @clippdcaninestyling will be taking over the lease and working her magic there.
This will be her 2nd location as she currently works out of Clifton Springs.
Kate is willing to take on some small clients if on a regular schedule and well behaved
(if you want to stay at that location)
She is an amazing groomer. Check out her page to look at the fantastic grooms!!!
Also feel free to msg her for any questions or queries, but do allow some time as she will be a busy bee working and setting up the salon.
Thanks again guys, for all the love and support over the past 5 years I'm excited to work from home again and set up a new salon!!!

🫣Oodle mats🫣
Greg the mini groodle had a very well needed groom yesterday!
Lucky for greggy this matting is mostly from undercoat that isn't being brushed out in between grooms and can be brushed out/dematted without too much pain.
Most oodles mat up because of undercoat just like this!
⛔️BUT NOT ALL CAN BE BRUSHED OUT⛔️
With mixing a non shedding (poodle) and high shedding (golden retriever), this doesn't mean that your dog won't shed, what happens sometimes is that the undercoat will still grow but it will need to be brushed out or blow dried out regularly to avoid matting like this.
If you are wanting to keep your oodle longer like greg, make sure to prepare yourself to learn the correct way to take care of the coat and to use the correct tools.
✨️slicker brush
✨️comb
✨️undercoat rake (not all oodles)
✨️dematting brush/tool
And dont forget to line brush
(check out you-tube)
We love you Greg see u soon dude!
Meet Jedha!
Jedha is a 4 month old mini poodle 🐩
We were lucky enough to be able to give him his first ever full groom as he was so amazing on the table and mum requested his coat to be trimmed if possible.
We used a 22mm comb attachment on his body and scissored his legs and head/face to match.
This groom took about 1.5 hours, including his bath and dry.
Not all puppies are ready for a clip at this age, but this is why it's very important to get your pup used to being brushed/combed and handled early on.
Thanks for visiting Jedha cant wait to see u again and watch you grow!!

🐾Let's talk about puppy grooms🐾
In the pics above, we have 4 very cute and very different pups.
They are all around the age of 3-4 months, and this is the perfect age to start introducing salon pampering.
What is an intro puppy groom?
This is a very important part of your pups life....
We start off with a warm, relaxing bath. Once all clean, they are towel dryed and placed over to the drying station.
When there, a happy hoodie is placed over the head and ears to block out all the loud sounds of the dryer.
Once dry, they then move into the main part of the salon.
We start by shaving out the paw pads and rounding up the feet with scissors.
Then we shave the sani areas inc the bottom.
Then lucky last, we clean out the hair between the eyes with either scissors or the clippers, depending on your pups behaviour and a quick nail trim.
Once all are completed, they are sprayed with one of our yummy doggy perfumes and of course giving lots of cuddles and praise at the end!
We recommend puppies to have 2 intro grooms at 3 or 4 months and another at 4-5 months, but i am always happy to clip a puppy if i believe the pup can handle it.
It's very important all pups know grooming is fun and there is nothing to be scared of.
And even more important to listen to your groomers notes when picking up your pup.
Hope this helps you guys understand puppy grooming a little bit more!
And dont be fooled. Some tidy ups can be very tricky, haha 😆
We have had a lot of new furry faces in the salon lately and would love some feedback from you guys, new and old!
We are always happy to get feedback from our valued customers so that we can continue to improve our service.
If you could spare two minutes of your time to write a review (google or facebook), we would be really grateful and very happy to read it.
And bonus points if u add a pic too 😉
Its one of the easiest ways to support a small business like us 💟🐾💟
Thanks Nat & Lisa
