So today I closed the doors to Barking Beautiful. After 16years grooming and 8.7years in the salon it was time for me to say goodbye.

I just want to say thank you to each and everyone of my clients who have been a past or current client. Especially the originals from my parents house!

Thank you for trusting me with your dog/s and being great! Ellie is so excited and can't wait to re-open at the end of January when she's got her hands on the salon!

My mobile number is being passed onto Ellie in the next 24/48hours!

I have over the years made friends for life, won multiple awards, been ambassadors for amazing companies, worked with top brands got the amazing opportunity to work as groomer on TV, photo and film sets, Competed all over and built my business up to be fully booked all year round ❤️

Thank you all again but a big thank you goes to my mum also who has worked with me in the salon for the past 7years without her your dogs wouldn't be perfectly prepped 😍

So tomorrow I go into the salon and clear out my things and officially pass it all onto Ellie 🥰 I wish her all the best and many Happy years grooming.

I will miss you all,
Love

💕 Sad news and good news alert 💞

It is with a heavy heart & great sadness that I have decided to hang my scissors up & pass on Barking Beautiful to a lovely, kind & amazing groomer. After 16 years grooming & nearly 9 in my salon my health has declined as some of you may know & I'm physically struggling with carrying on now.

I have enjoyed & loved every second & can't thank you all enough for being part & supporting my small business. It's like a little family.

My last trading day will be the 22nd December & I will close my doors to Barking Beautiful.

BUT Ellie who is taking over will be re-opening the doors on 24th January 2023 & will be known as Happy Paws.

Ellie is currently now taking 2023 block bookings through email [email protected] until I hand over my work phone to her in December. Ellie is currently working everyday with me getting to know your dogs & their haircuts. Ellie is very passionate, caring & is loving the beginning of her new journey already. I do ask you are kind to her as it is all new with running the salon & timings etc... :)

I know some of you will be upset & disappointed & I apologies in advance. But I really have to think about myself & my family. So, I thank you on being on this journey with me, but now it's time for my next chapter & I know your dogs will be in safe hands with Ellie.

I will miss you all, especially the friendships I've made with you & especially

your dog/s.

Sad goodbyes

Lia and Jane

You can follow Ellie on social media to find out more about her :)

Ellie will take over this page also end of the year.

Meet Ellie 💕 she has just qualified at my friends training school and is also one of my clients daughter's 💕

Ellie is doing some work experience in the salon to gain more confidence, knowledge & practicing her skills.

She's been a real asset already & has started to find her feet in the salon.

I love helping new groomers out! Especially as you have to remember we all have to start somewhere and that was me 16years ago!

We are now closed and reopen on Tues 16th Aug! We are off to KCI Agility Festival to compete... Unfortunately poor Pearl suffered a nasty injury on Sunday at training so she won't be competing just supporting her crazy brother 🤣 wish us luck as we will need it.

The salon is closed as usual today but also we have closed tomorrow..... It's going to be far to hot for us, my dogs & your dogs and it's not fair to put them in a car and bring them over too....

So please keep them at home, in the house with plenty of access to fresh water 🏡❤️

Back open as usual on Wednesday ♥️

☀️☀️ Please read if you are booked in over the next few weeks with this heat ☀️☀️

We really would appreciate it if you could follow these guidelines for the safety of your dog!

We are doing everything we can in the salon to help keep them cool.

☀️ Cool mats
☀️ Fresh water
☀️ Fans
☀️ Cool bath water
☀️ Heat off on dryers
☀️ Please note any short coats we won't dry 100% especially any brachycephalic breeds (flat faced dogs) to help avoid any heat problems.

Thank you
