I have news most of you have been waiting for! 💙🌈
Reggie arrived Thursday 9th May @ 14:44pm 6 days earlier than planned. We’re doing really well and he is settling in just beautifully as if he has always been here 💙

Please note I am on maternity leave and all messages/calls have been muted so unfortunately cannot be reached for a while.
Some of you know I will not be returning to Cranfield, hence the reason the salon is closed and having work done.
There is a new dog groomer moving in but to stop any confusion I thought I’d put this post out there to clear it up! We are two separate businesses and wish them well.
Nobody is taking over ‘Shampoodle Boutique Ltd’ this is still my business, I will just not return to Cranfield when I’m ready to return to work. I’ve tried my best to recommend people to groomers who I feel would suit to their individual needs whilst I’m absent.
Thanks so much to the lovely clients who have supported my career of a very long time and to those who have followed me.
Thank you all for the well wishes and the amazing gifts and cards we have received. I’ve finally got through them all and blown away from your kindness.

See you all on the other side 🩷🤱🏻🤰🏻

Beware if you have an appointment this week, getting through the village is absolute chaos with temporary lights on all main routes! I would suggest leaving with plenty of time to arrive on time as I’m back to back and have important appointments myself to attend I cannot be late to 😊

I have made the decision to close the salon on the 12th April for my maternity leave. I will then be 35 weeks and I really don’t want to push myself therefore spaces will be very limited. From 1st April - 12th I will ONLY be grooming dogs up to the size of a Bichon/shihtzu.
Spaces between now and the 12th April are already looking very busy, I will unfortunately not be squeezing dogs into spaces, these will be offered on a first come first serve basis.
Please do send me a message to get your spaces reserved ☺️

Really sorry to those I’ve had to rearrange today! Unfortunately my shower has given up on me.
Hopefully by this evening it will have been repaired, thank you so much to everyone who has rescheduled and been so nice about it ❤️

The salon will be CLOSED today!

Do you wanna build a snow man? ❄️☃️🎶… oh wait, I already did 🥰😂

I hate to be a moaning myrtle on a Wednesday morning but this week so far I have lost £231 in earnings due to late cancellations.
Unfortunately going forward, upon booking appointments you will be asked to pay 50% of the service requested upfront.
This is to protect my small business and also as we’re all aware, I am expecting therefore I need to think of and put my family first too.
Sorry to those of you who never fail to let me know with reasonable notice and show up all the time 🫶🏼. When clicking on the link in your text you will see a message of something like the photo attached, the price will be different for everyone/every service as they’re not all the same but it will always be 50% of the services booked. I’m happy if you don’t feel comfortable entering your details or being charged online, I’m happy for you to pay in cash in person and I will mark this against your booking in the diary.
I hope you can all understand! 🙂

04/01/2024

Please note we do not reopen until 8th January, all work related messages won’t be replied to until then 😊. I don’t have my diary to hand so would be useless of me to reply without it 🤪. If you don’t hear from me by 3pm Monday 8th if you have sent an enquiry please give me a nudge, sometimes when the phones off my messages don’t come through!

01/01/2024

Happy new year to all my lovely clients! Hope 2024 is a good one for you all. Thanks for supporting me over the years and those who continue to do so 🫶🏼.

29/12/2023

MY PHONE WILL BE ON FOR THE NEXT HOUR (TURNING IT OFF AT 4PM) TO TAKE BOOKINGS FOR JANUARY, FEBRRUARY AND MARCH ONLY!

As most of you are aware I am expecting my first baby in May, therefore all styles will be kept short. I’m not doing any fancy trims or long trims from now onwards. Many thanks to those customers who have been very understanding in changing appointments with short notice, I really appreciate it. I will have appointments with the midwife etc so it is a possibility I may need to move your appointment and something I cannot control.

I’m not doing automatic appointment booking this year, unfortunately with baby brain it’s easy to forget who wants when and who I’ve booked/contacted already 🤪. Please message with ONLY your January, February and March booking preferences and I’ll work to my best ability to schedule you in!

I can offer SHORT teddy trims, but these will be on a 4-6 weekly basis only. Any other cuts I will only groom of a maximum of 8 week intervals.

Please remember my hours have changed-

Mon 08:30-16:00
Tues 08:30-16:00
Weds 08:30-16:00
Thurs 08:30-16:00
Fri 08:30-14:00

Phones on… GO!

22/12/2023

And that’s it! All done for Christmas! Thank you to each and every one of you. I really hope you enjoy the Christmas photos ❤️🫶🏼.

All grooms are to owners requests - also there are a few bath and drys in there so not all dogs had full grooms hence no ‘finishing touches’ on haircuts!

Less dogs this year as I obviously had some time off for my partners 30th but 74 dogs in total this Christmas, 8 working days and a HUGE shoutout to my brother for the helping hand today. Couldn’t have done it without you! 🫶🏼

Thank you all! 🫶🏼

21/12/2023

I would like to take a moment to say a massive heartfelt thank you to all my clients for the tips, cards, gifts and well wishes for 2024. You really have no idea how grateful I feel to feel appreciated the way I have this Christmas!
All Christmas photos will be posted tomorrow afternoon, can’t wait to show you these crackers!

If you need a nail trim/treats the last day to do this is today, I will be closed to the public tomorrow other than those I had to rearrange from last week so the door will be locked and my phone will be off. Im writing this now as I have the heaviest day today and I will not have any energy left this evening. I’m open 8-6 today.

I will open my march diary next week and that will be announced on these accounts. I will only have my phone on for a limited time to sort these so if I don’t respond within 3 working days please drop me another message as it seems I’m not receiving some texts at the moment too for some strange reason!

Best wishes,
Cara, Porschia and Annie! ❤️

Whilst I would love to be able to groom all of your dogs before the Christmas celebrations start I just cannot squeeze any more in I’m afraid! I have a cancellation list of clients waiting for a December appointment but I cannot guarantee a space. I would highly recommend booking a slot for the soonest available space if you do not have one already otherwise it will be a longer wait. The cancellation list will be worked through in order of asking to be put on there. Please note that my working hours are reducing next year and I cannot squeeze so many people into one day, so please book in advance 🙏🥰
