Hello lovely customers

For any of you that have appointments between 30th July and 2nd August,Westgate will be closed for road resurfacing, between 7.30am and 5pm.

This means you'll need to park in the village and walk up with our furry friends.
Alternatively, you could access Bank Crest from West lane, which will mean a slightly shorter walk, but it's not guaranteed there will be anywhere to park there.

If this will prove difficult for anyone with mobility issues, please call and leave a message on the answerphone and I will do my best to find a solution for you.
I'm sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Thanks
Lisa

Hello lovely customers,
UPDATE...there is still a fault on the line it's slightly better but is out of order intermittently.
Open reach have identified the fault and it's underground below the manhole in the road.The road needs to be closed to fix it and I'm not sure when that will be, hopefully soon.
I'll keep you posted.

Just wanted to let you know that we are experiencing huge problems with our landline.

The line is really bad so much that I can't hear you at times and voicemails are coming through intermittently ( some of which I cannot hear due to the crackling)

This has been going on for at least a couple of weeks I have changed the handset thinking it was that,but this made no difference at all.

I eventually had a visit from open reach yesterday who confirmed there is a problem with the line.

This was apparently fixed yesterday but alas the line is even worse today!

I'm hoping this will be fixed soon but in the meantime please accept my apologies if I have missed your call.
You can message on here or call 07817188220 as a temporary measure

Once again apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Thanks

Lisa

This is happening tonight...a rough sleep out in the cold to raise money for the homeless
A couple of our lovely customers are taking part in this and there is still time to donate
Please dig deep for this worthy cause x

Tomorrow night, ACS Group will be braving the cold in The Big Bradford Bulls Sleepout 2024, spending a night sleeping rough at Odsal Stadium to raise funds for local charities that support the homeless. And one thing is for sure – It’s going to be a chilly one. ❄

We are proud to be raising money for 4 West Yorkshire charities- Focus4Hope, Calderdale SmartMove, Homeless Not Hopeless, and The Bradford Bulls RLFC Foundation.

Any support for this meaningful cause is greatly appreciated - every donation makes a difference- https://localgiving.org/fundraising/ACS-BIgSleepover2024/

Thank you 🧡

Hello lovely customers hope you are all well and enjoying your weekend.

Apologies in advance for the long post but I have quite a bit to tell you.

As some of you are already aware I have a tibial plateau fracture and will be non weight bearing on my right leg for a few weeks.

This happened on the 8th October after a large dog ran into my leg at high speed on the moors.

I delayed posting this as I was back at the hospital yesterday, and wanted to find out what they said first.

The good news is I don't need an operation.
I need to keep my cast on for two more weeks then will be fitted with a knee brace on the 3rd November.

I did call into the salon this week for a few hours just to re rearrange some appointments
Dara and Georgina have done a great job at keeping the salon going, although as I'm sure you will understand at reduced capacity.

I will be in for a few hours next week to supervise, sort out the appointments and look at how we can change things so that I can get back to work more quickly

If you have sent a message or left a voicemail please bear with me I will get back to you next week.

Also,please be assured that we will do everything we can to catch up with cancelled appointments as soon as possible
Our customers are our priority but additionally I do need to rest as much as possible so that I am fit to work asap.

I have been delaying some appointments by a week or so,if you are booked in within the next few weeks you may receive a call to postpone,although I will do my best to avoid this.

Additionally if you do have an appointment that you think could wait an extra couple of weeks, please call and leave a message on the answer phone,this would be much appreciated and will be a big help.

I thank you in advance for your patience at this very difficult time and I am sorry for any inconvenience that may be caused.

If you do have any queries please call and leave a message and I will get back to you next week.

Thanks for reading

Best wishes

Hello lovely customers hope you're enjoying the sunshine.
Just a quick post to let you know our hours will differ this week due to the heat.
We are starting earlier and finishing earlier.It is pretty cool in the salon,until later in the afternoon when it's just a bit too much for our precious pups ( and us of course)
Thank you to those of you that have been very understanding about rearranging your appointments x

On another note and I hate to mention the C word especially in this blazing heat..but..Christmas bookings are already looking very busy
If you haven't booked yours already please do at your next appointment or give us a call and leave a message and I will call you back.
Our last working day is the 21st December so there isn't as much availability as usual
Thanks for reading and sorry again for mentioning the C word 🤣 xx

I have left messages for those of you booked in tomorrow I will be in touch as soon as possible to reschedule
I will also be calling those of you who have left messages tomorrow.
Thanks for your patience
Take care and keep cool

Happy July everyone 🙂July is our favourite month on Berts calendar 🤣

Just a quick message to let you know we are closed today for a family funeral and we'll be back tomorrow.

When calling to book an appointment please do leave a message and I will call you back. I'm recovering from a small op on my leg so hobbling to answer the phone isn't a priority at the moment, sorry about that.

July is busier than usual due to my recovery and unexpected staff shortage, so I thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

Best wishes to you all

Good morning lovely customers and sorry I've not posted in a while.
It's a been a crazy time for everyone the last few months and I want to say thank you for your patience,understanding and loyalty throughout this time.
We may now have caught up with all the appointments we couldn't do in lockdown,but now Christmas is around the corner and we all know how how busy that can be.

(Sorry to mention the C word before it's even Halloween but needs must)

Most of you have been organized and booked ahead,thank you for that.

If you haven't and need an appointment between now and the Christmas holiday you need to do it asap...,please call and leave a message and I will phone you back in the order that I receive the messages.

Please also note that we are completely fully booked between 14th and 23rd December and limited availability before that.

Thanks

It's taken a few days to pluck up the courage to write this post but it is with great sadness I have to inform you,that Max Mortimer our handsome receptionist,has sadly passed away.

At 15 years old Max was loved so much and lived a fulfilled and happy life.

He was a big part of the salon and I'm sure many of his furry friends will miss him too( especially those that were privileged enough to be allowed to share his bed😊)

He will be missed so much and words can not explain how sad and empty I feel right now.
He was my best friend and I can't believe I won't see him again.

Max was taken ill quite suddenly whilst I was in London. I drove back up and feel lucky that I was able to say goodbye, as he passed away peacefully in my arms.
I'm hoping that by posting this it will mean fewer explanations of his whereabouts when I return to work on Tuesday.
I'm sure you'll appreciate how difficult it is to talk about right now.
I am however looking forward to seeing all our furry customers who I am sure will help cheer me up.
RIP my little Max xx

Good morning lovely customers.

So I'm on holiday from today for a much needed break and not back in the salon until Tuesday 1st June.

I look forward to seeing you all in June,
when I'll be recharged and ready to perfect all your pooches for their lovely Summer hair cuts

Best wishes
