✨The Barking Barber is moving to a new location! ✨

I will now be at #1-65 First Ave South (near Red Shreds just two blocks down from the old location)
Unfortunately the move has not been so smooth due to delays in the tub build so I will have to reschedule some appointments this coming week (I will be calling people to make a plan)
Thank you so much to the clients I've had to move already for being kind and accommodating during these unexpected delays that are out of my control at this time!
Can't wait to share the new space with all of my furry friends once we're all set up 😁💞🐾

Wishing all of my furry friends a very Merry Christmas!! Thanks again to all of my amazing clients for another year of pampering your pets! I will see you all in the New Year 🎄🐾❤️

Hello! Hope everyone is having a great summer. Just a few notes about appointments.

Please make sure you are on time for your appointments, if you are running late please give me a call and let me know. I try to be as flexible as possible but it's becoming a problem with people showing up late for their appointments and that can cause issues for the rest of the schedule for the day. Appointments that are late 15 minutes or more will be considered a no show and will be charged 50% of the appointment fee and will need to be rescheduled (which will be about a 4 month wait)

Dogs will need to be picked up within half an hour of my call or time that I've told you to pick up. There will be an extra fee of $10 for late pickups (unless previously discussed with me) as unfortunately I do not have the space to hold dogs for more than their appointment slot.

I love all of my customers and hate to be the bad guy but as I am extremely busy these days my time is valuable and there are many clients hoping to get in. Also please note that payment is due the day of the appointment.

Thanks so much to all of my great clients for your understanding!! ❤️🐶🐾

Unfortunately I will be closed this week! Sorry for any inconveniences but it's for the safety of everyone's pups! Stay cool and safe 💖🐶

To all my furry clients who are booked in next week, keep in mind the extreme heat wave that is predicted! my shop is in a very old building with no ac. I have a portable AC however I think it won't keep up in the 40⁰ temps. If the shop becomes too hot I may have to cancel appointments or send dogs home, especially for the bigger guys who will have to be in here for longer than an hour, I don't want anyone's pups to be at risk of heat stroke. People bringing multiple dogs will need to bring one at a time to lessen the time spent in the shop. If I have to cancel appointments I will do my best to rebook you within a timely manner, but I am booking very far out so it may take a couple weeks before I can get everyone squeezed in. ( I apologize in advance as I know people have been waiting a long time for their dates)

I'll be keeping an eye on the forecast this weekend and if it's still looking like 40⁰+ I will be calling everyone. If you think you'd like to just go ahead and reschedule to a cooler time please send a message. Thanks so much for your patience and understanding! ❤️🐶

🎊🎉The Barking Barber has been in the new location for a whole year!! Thank you to all my clients for making this the best year ever! 🎉🎊

As we enter the busy spring season I just wanted to let everyone know I'm currently booking 10-12 weeks out and so I'm unable to take on new clients at this time! I will let everyone know when I'm able to again!

Thank you!! Here's a few pics of some happy pups! 🐶🐾♥️

Covid update!
I am still working and taking bookings (booking for March now) until further notice. I won't be doing walk in's at this time with the current covid situation. I can still do nail trims just by appointment only. The front door will now be locked so when you arrive to drop your pup off and to pick up there is now a doorbell to ring that's on the right side of the door! As always, all equipment is heavily sanitized between each client and masks are mandatory during drop off and pickup for everyone's safety! 😊 Thank you for your patience and understanding!

01/13/2021

Isn't this just the cutest little trio?
🐾🐶
Just thought I'd let everyone know I'm currently booking 5-6 weeks ahead so if you're looking to get your furry friends in for a spa day to book in advance!

Hello everyone !! I was planning on opening back up for May 4th, but of course as luck would have it, my road is now washed out! I am hopeful that they will be able to repair it this week, but I will let everyone know closer to the end of this week if I’m able to make it in next week or not! Thank you to my awesome clients for being so patient during these crazy times! I promise I will stop rescheduling you all eventually haha! ❤️🐾🐶

03/30/2020

Unfortunately due to the corona virus I have had to temporarily close down! I am going to go week by week and see what the situation is. I have called everyone that had appointments for this week to reschedule, so if you have an appointment this week and did not know that I am now closed please check your voicemails as I have moved everyone to a new date, or send me a message! If I need to be closed for next week as well I will be calling towards the end of this week to reschedule.
Thank you so much for your patience and understanding!! Any questions or concerns please send me a message or give me a call 😊
Stay safe everyone! 🐶💕🐾
