We done it 😛 Precious Paws is now CLOSED until 2024 🎄

I would like to thank everyone so so much for their continued support in 2023 it’s been a tough year for everyone financially and running a small businesses has just been terrible not only financially but mentally also. I’m not going to lie there has been times this year I have questioned myself however with some fantastic and loyal clients we have made it so thanks to you all 😊

I would like to thank everyone so so much for the kind Gifts, Tips and cards for Christmas not only for me but for Willow-Grace also you have all been so kind.

It’s now time to switch off for some well earned Family time Precious Paws will reopen Monday 8th January @ 9am. Anyone wishing to make an appointment please feel free to send a message however we will not be going over these until we reopen.

Just before I completely switch off please let’s all spare a thought for all the Precious Paws we have lost this year 🥲 sadly in total we have lost 14 members of the Precious Paws family and I have known most of these since I have opened 9 years ago. I have watched most of these grow and it’s heart breaking when I sit and think about it. I raise a glass to each and everyone of you and wherever you are I hope you up to all the mischief of the day.

Wishing you all a very very happy Christmas and hopefully a much better 2024

To all my little Precious Paws I hope Santa Paws is good to you all and please say away from the chocolates.

Happy Christmas everyone
Aaron

I read this earlier and thought it was very fitting

The unfortunate truth of owning and running a business.

Running a business is really hard.

What they don’t tell you is that it can cause severe stress and anxiety, and drains you mentally to the point of depression in even the most laid back people.

People will talk about you, compare you to others, use you, they will view you as a service and not a person anymore.

Friends and family will expect discounts and people will value you and your hard work less than a big chain store.

You have to worry about if you forget to email/message or call someone back, are they going to think it was on purpose? Did you disappoint them? Will they hold that against you? When in reality you just can’t get to everyone’s messages, emails and phone calls.

Starting up and running a successful business puts incredible strain on personal lives and relationships, many of which fail because there is just often no work life balance. You need to be the director, the worker, the admin, the marketing team, the accountant, the cleaner... All while being a parent, a husband or a wife, family support, friend... it’s one of the hardest things you will try and balance. If you give your time, you will sacrifice financial benefit. If you strive for financial benefit, you will have to sacrifice your time. It’s just the way it goes when your business is relying on you to survive and you’re relying on your business to provide!

There’s a reason you don’t see many people succeed in small businesses after 5 years. If they are successful they are overwhelmed. It takes a toll. It’s freaking exhausting. Especially the past couple of years when so much has been out of our control.

Here’s a small reminder that we are just normal people with hectic lives. Be kind, be patient, support small businesses... and hopefully more of us will stick around!

Many Thanks

**** Customer Notice ****

Unfortunately due to the latest news on yet another price increase by Power NI, we have to deliver this message 😞

From Monday 20th March, sadly we will be having a price increase on most grooms.

Since the pandemic, our costs have went through the roof with products, electricity, heating ect and it’s no longer sustainable for a very small family run business.

We know we are the cheapest around for what we do,and all other groomers have put their prices up along time ago, and sadly it’s our turn.

We have taken the hit for a very long time now!!

Financially, things have to change for us to survive.

This is the 4th Power NI increase and my shampoo has also INCREASED 4 times since covid.
I haven’t increased my prices for a VERY LONG time, and unfortunately I have no choice.

I’m sorry to have to post this message and I really hope everyone understands the situation we are in.

If anyone wishes to discuss the price increase on their next groom please feel free to get in touch.

Thanks Aaron 🐾🐾

How blessed we are 🍼💖

Good evening everyone this is just quick post regarding appointments.

Over the past couple of weeks I’ve had some of our regular clients contact me asking when there next appointment is due after Christmas. I’m going to be completely honest during the Christmas rush it went completely out of my head to rebook some clients. Most of my clients just let me go ahead and rebook them for their next appointment and I just send the reminder the day before. Due to being run off my feet at Christmas I did forget to rebook some.

If you think you should have a up and coming appointment soon and you are not sure of the date and time please get in touch and I will get back to you asap.

For our Clients that book in with us all year I’m sitting down over the next couple of evenings to do this so I should have your years dates at your next appointment.

I’m calling it Baby Brain 😂🐾

Hope all my Precious Paws are keeping well and I will see you all soon.

Thanks Aaron

*** Client Notice ***

Good evening everyone 😁 this is just a little message to everyone regarding Christmas appointments.

Our Christmas rush as already started and things are just going to get busier as we get closer to Santa time. I’m just writing this message to everyone with up and coming appointments to please please ask if everyone could arrive on time for drop off and pick ups to ensure everything runs smoothly. The salon is much busier than usual and unfortunately we simply have no wiggle room.

Please note if someone is late it’s your time that’s being wasted as we will NOT eat into anyone else’s appointment.

Also a we note to anyone wishing to cancel appointments 24 hours must be given.

November this year was the worst month we have ever had in 7 years of business regarding no shows and last minute cancellations. I’m just putting this up to nip this in the bud immediately.
We have never had this problem before up until this November and for a small family run business this hurts so much. For every no show or last minute cancellation this costs us money and with the hard times everyone is facing the impact on us is huge. In total we had 14 appointments affected in November and at times I questioned was it all worth it.

As from today we are nipping this in the bud if someone fails to attend an appointment or cancels with less that 24 hours notice the customer will be charged for this before another appointment can be made. Anyone failing to pay will be removed from our books immediately and your slot given to someone else.

We haven’t taken on any new clients in almost 2 years and our phone never stops with new clients wishing to join the precious paws family so slots can easily be filled.

I’m sorry for having to write this but I have been speaking to a number of local groomers who has had this problem for a very long time and we are NOT going to join them.

Thanks again to everyone for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you all soon 🐾🎄
