🩶 Well Barrow, it’s been a blast 🩶

I can’t believe just 2.5 years ago we were racing towards the finish line trying to get the salon done before welcoming old and new faces 🥺

Since then the salon has grown from strength to strength and I feel incredibly lucky to have so many amazing customers who are following me along on my next adventure. I will of corse miss those who are unable to come but I’m sure they will be just as adored by their next groomer!

Barrow really is an incredible little village and I couldn’t have survived without the other businesses on the high street, from always being on hand when I’ve forgotten an occasion (and keeping my loyalty card on file because I also always forget that!) for an epic breakfast roll when it’s looking like a long day and for a quick chat and last min flowers (there’s a theme!) and last but not absolutly not least ! I’m not sure who will deliver my daily caffeine hit, who will laugh at me making stupid gestures through the window or chat about trying to be sucessful business owners (we’ve got this 💪) I’ll have to keep myself amused now… and probably buy a coffee machine!

Barrow has been the best home for my little salon but I’m so excited for the next chapter.

Over and out, im off to cry 🤣

🏆 Winner Winner 🏆

I’ve had lots of career highlights over the years but getting to share Hestia’s amazing news is definitely up there!

At the recent Sussex Spaniel Association Championship Show Hestia pulled out all the stops winning her class…. The Challange Certificate (best female in show)… and finally Best In Show 🏆 … so basically she won it all!!

Last year I posted about Hestia’s first visit all the way from Yorkshire to get prepared for Crufts 💚 Since then she has visited another few times before shows and had some lovely results which we are all thrilled with… but this win tops it all 🤩

I honestly couldn’t be happier, I love getting stuck into lots of research with this beautiful breed and feel incredibly lucky to work with Hestia and her owners. Congratulations guys!!

💥Super. Duper. Exciting. News 💥

As most of you know my body has taken a bit of a bashing lately and I’ve been given the amazing opportunity to take over the premises of Gaddesby as of November 1st.

The facility (and Hannah) already have a wonderful reputation in the area for its doggy day care and grooming which I am looking forward to continuing and expanding with.

I understand that I am moving out of the gorgeous little village of Barrow and it isn’t a decision that I have taken lightly however by moving to K9 Country Club I am now able to offer additional services and have the space for an assistant in the future which can only impact my health in a positive way.

At this point all existing customers should have been contacted (🤞) with regards to the move. I look forward to welcoming old and new clients at the new salon and if you have any questions or would like to discuss your appointments please get in touch.

Thanks as always for being so supportive (especially when I’ve been an emotional mess telling people) and continuing on this journey with me! 🩶

18/07/2024

Please note the salon is now closed whilst we take a break after a busy and eventful time in and out of the salon.
All messeges will be responded to when we return on Friday 26th July and as always please remeber to book at least 2 appointments ahead as I'm now booking into September.

How gorgeous is this guy 🧡🤍

Due to my recent rib injury and the salon being booked up so far in advance I’m unable to accept new clients at the moment… but when my existing client homed the beautiful Ollie after his owner sadly passed away I was so excited to welcome him to the Blossom’s gang!

Ollie has been a show dog so is in wonderful condition and was an absolute joy to groom (➡️ to see him chilling on the table).
We maintained the breed characteristic beautiful soft silky coat and long feathers (including his little feet slippers!) and after his bath and tidy he was sashaying out the door.

🤢 Flea Season 🤢

Just like last year they seem to be becoming more of a problem up and down the country causing issues for you, your dog…. And my salon 🙈

These little, biting, jumping insects not only cause discomfort and possible allergic reactions for your dogs but can also infest carpets, bedding, and furniture (hence why the salon is currently bed free... Sorry)

If you suspect your dog has a flea problem please contact me before bringing them for their appointment as I often have other dogs (including my own) in the salon.

If I find fleas during the groom I reserve the rite to rearange to my next available appointment and this will incur a flea charge of £20 which will cover the disinfecting of the salon and possible diary distruptions.

The video attached was from last year when I found lots of fleas on a dog that the owner was unaware of. The whole day of dogs then had to be canceled so I could clean, disinfect and flea spray/ bomb the salon. This was not only an inconvenience but a massive loss to my earnings and unfortunatly happened more than once last year. Please bare this in mind.

Below are some effective flea treatment methods to help you tackle this issue:

Prevention is key to avoiding flea infestations. Regularly groom your dog with flea combs, maintain a clean living environment, and make sure they are up to date with flea treatment.
It’s important to not only treat your dog but also your home and any vehicle they travel in. Vacuuming frequently and washing pet bedding in hot water (above 60) can help eliminate flea eggs and larvae. If you find fleas you may need to use a flea fogger or spray. The key is to disrupt the 10 day cycle so you may need to do this for a few weeks.

One of the most common and effective ways to treat fleas on pets is with oral and topical treatments. These are usually given by tablet or applied to the back of the neck between the shoulder blades. They work by killing adult fleas and disrupting the flea life cycle. It is important to note that dogs should not be bathed for 48 hours after topical treatments are applied.

Thank you for your understanding 🩶

I’ve had the absolute best day with these legends!! 🙌✨

After sharing the news of my accident last week I have honestly been overwhelmed with the messeges from customers and offers of help 🧡

Today my grood friends Clare from and Liz who I show dogs with came to help out with a super busy day of pampering… mixed in with a healthy dose of bedlam 🙈

Massive thanks guys, literally couldn’t have done it without you and we had plenty of laughs along the way… thanks also to my wonderful customers who ignored the wreck of a salon and all the empty coffee cups from & ☕️🤣

Big thanks also to for the lovely flowers 💐

Guys, I’ve Broken A Rib 🩻

Not only is this personally upsetting as I’ve taken my 36 years and no broken bones record very seriously but as a self employed person being told “no heavy lifting” for a few weeks is quite frankly a nightmare.

I’m working my way through the diary and cancelling the next few days appointments then will hopefully have help with lifting over the next few weeks. At this time appointments will more than likely last longer than usual and the salon may be a little busier than usual with appointments being moved around.

Thanks for all your understanding 🫶

20/05/2024

Please note the salon is now closed whilst we take a well earnt break after a super busy few months in and out of the salon.

All messeges will be responded to when we return on Wednesday 29th May and as always please remeber to book at least 2 appointments ahead as I’m now booking into July/ August.

See you all on the other side ☀️

✨ RESTYLE ✨

Having a dog walk into my salon and having a “lightbulb moment” for how I would style them is possibly the best part of my job and what really keeps the old creative juices flowing.

When Nelson first visited his owner had a specific look in mind (and luckily our ideas matched) and over a few grooms I had a great time creating it.
This groom isn’t for the faint hearted, Nelson comes in very regularly and has regular grooms at home (as well as a few sneaky shorter areas to make maintence easier)

He is one of my 50% who LOVE to visit the salon, he pulls his way in, waggs his tail, bounces up at the gate and as soon as he’s through it he jumps on the table no matter how high it is… and will jump back up when he’s done even if another dog’s on it 😆

Hes such a character and I’m delighted to be his hairdresser 🧡

Yesterday I steped out of the comfort of the salon to share my knowledge with other groomers on my ❤️ breed.

Big thank you to for having me along side and and for putting on such a fabulous educational event 🫶

Daizy was a super star and I couldn’t have asked for more from her, it was such a fantastic day and hopefully everyone left with some helpful hints and tips ✂️

Look. At. This. FACE 🥰

Rory visited the salon yesterday after a few puppy sessions with a lovely groomer who recommended me for hand stripping. When he walked in the door my finders were itching to get started and after 2 hours this bestest boy was transformed from burst cushion to a beautiful English Cocker Spaniel.

We still have some things to work on over the next few trims but he handled the process like a champ especially as he is so young.

➡️ to see his transformation!

Where is January going!?!
The endless of days of cheese, dog walks and Prosecco seem like a distant memory but it’s so lovely to be back in the salon.

Rosie, Margo, Mable and Marley all had first grooms after their puppy intros before Christmas and they were amazing!

Thanks as always for the amazing ongoing support, please remeber I am booked up around 5 weeks in advance so rebooking at least one appointment is a must and I can’t wait to see what 2024 brings 🫶

Salon Update ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Hi everyone, bit of an apology as I’ve been a rather lax business owner recently, I’ve had a lot going on personally and have had to travel back and forth to Scotland a few times.
I’d like to thank all my customers who have been so amazing and understanding with last minute appointment changes.

I’m going to make a start on messages this evening, please remeber I am booked up around 6 weeks so pre booking is essential.

Thanks again to you amazing lot ###

🫧 Say Hi to the newest bunch of cuties who have visited recently for a pamper. We’ve had lots of puppies in for 1st and 2nd grooms and I’m pleased to report that everyone’s been a super star 🤩

📸 We love the adorable post-grooming pictures we get and would love if you could share the love by sharing and tagging us

📅 Don’t forget to book ahead as we are now booking into late September.

It’s grass seed time 🤦🏻‍♀️
These small but pesky seeds can cause various issues such as:

🌾 Embedding in Fur: Grass seeds have pointed ends and can work their way into the coat and skin very quickly.

🌾 Abscesses and Infections: If a grass seed burrows into a dog's skin, it can lead to abscesses or infections.

🌾 Traveling Seeds: Grass seeds are designed by nature to spread which means they can move throughout a dog's body, causing health issues in different areas.

🌾 Ear, Eye and Nose Problems: Grass seeds can become embedded in all of these areas particularly with dogs who enjoy “snuffling” through long grass which can lead to pain and infection.

To prevent these problems, it's essential to regularly check your dog's coat for any embedded grass seeds, particularly after walks in grassy areas.
If your dog goes for a lot of “grassy walks” a shorter style may be best so you can easily check through the hair (this can also be done with a hairdryer on cool for longer coats)
We always do a thorough exam for seeds durning the groom but if you’re worried just ask 😊

Happy Monday Here’s Riley the Labradoodle to brighten up your day 💙

1st day back “in the office” today after getting lots of dogs “Crufts ready” last week ✂️ We had an amazing time with Daizy and Geoffrey who I know are regular fixtures in the salon (Daizy more) both winning there class and Geoff winning Best Puppy in Breed 🏆🏆🏆 It was so lovely seeing so many of my clients, groomers who I’ve taught over the years and putting a face to other groomers names! I’ve come back to what seems like a million messeges so I’m working my way through them over the next day or so… bare with me 🙈

Off we got into 2023 🥳 It’s been an amazing year, at the beginning of the year I was grooming part time in the little summerhouse along side a part time position at another salon. I never thought that 6 months later we would be ripping out a shop and opening my first high street salon! I’m so incredibly thankful for all my existing and new customers for supporting the move and being such a huge part in the success of Blossom’s. Along the way I’ve had a fun time in the show and competition ring with multiple class wins and placings. I’ve loved watching other people win with dogs I’ve groomed and the biggest buzz of all was being part of some other groomers competition journey. I’m telling myself I’m going to have a chiller 2023…. But we shall see 🤣 Here’s to another year pampering your fabulous furry palls 🎉

Scissors down and that’s a wrap for the first festive season at Blossoms! Massive big THANK YOU to all my amazing customers old and new for all the continued support, popping in to buy snacks and toys and all the thoughtful cards and gifts… the chocolates are mainly gone 🤣 See you all in the new year, I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas ###

Who doesn’t love puppy’s… certainly not me!! Despite public perception my job isn’t all about “Playing with Puppy’s” so when the chance arises… I’m all in!! Since moving to barrow I’ve been lucky enough to welcome some real cuties to the Blossoms Gang (and luckily for me they all came with amazing owners!) I can’t wait to see these guys in 2023 😍 #doggroomeruk #barrowuponsoar #doggroomersuk #foxredlab #foxredlabrador #labrador #labradorpuppy #shihtzu #shihtzupuppy #cavapoo #cavapooofinstagram #cavapoopuppy #toypoodlestgram #toypoodlepuppy #toypoodlestgram #englisgcockerspaniel #roancockerspaniel #handstripspaniel #cockapoopuppy #cockapoo #barrowuponsoar

🎄🦌I just couldn’t wait any longer… last night the Christmas decorations went up and we started getting into the festive spirit (this may or may not have included Christmas music) It’s been so fun decorating the salon for the first time and I’m so thankful to everyone who has already started stocking up on Christmas gifts and snacks! Can’t wait to get some fab photos of your lovely pooches… top tip… sit and down are very much appreciated commands 🤣 Massive thanks to Sophie, Ben and Jake for helping make the magic happen ☺️ #doggrooming #doggroomersofinstagram #doggroomer #doggroomingsalon #christmasdecorations #barrowuponsoar #pepperandsaltminiatureschnauzer #loughborough

Crufts 2022 is over and it was amazing! Thank you to all my lovely customers who sent messages, wished me luck and asked how we got on… Crazy Daizy didn’t let me down and loved her time on the green carpet💚 I *think* I’ve gotten back to everyone but I’ve I’ve missed you please get in touch!

🏆Daisy is the poster child of groomers working with owners! 🏆 When she first visited she had a bad a** reputation and lots of knots.. we decided that a complete shave down would be best and even though it was far from perfect and a little traumatic Daisy left more comfortable. Fast forward and Daisy us now on her 4th groom, as you can see in the video she handled being scissored amazingly well and only had a few strops for her front feet. We use a “groomers helper” when possible which is what Daisy is hooked up to above and infront of her head rather than muzzling as it’s less stress for the dog. This allows me to work safely around Daisy and she can still “tell me” she’s unhappy. It’s amazing what can be achieved with honest owners, regular grooming… and a behaviouralist 😉 Before Christmas we managed to style her with short fluffy legs for easy maintanece but she had everything done relatively stress free … and Daisy was playing with me post groom. Daisy comes with her buddy Lottie the puppy Labrador who looks at Daisy when she’s having a mini meltdown like my sister used to look at me mid tantrum… I like to think that helps as well 🤣 Onwards and upwards Daisy 🥳

🍾Happy New year….. Covid got me 🦠 I hope everyone has had a wonderful time and lots of rest. I’m gearing up to get started on another year of trimming all your beautiful dogs… but unfortunately I’ve got Covid 🤦🏻‍♀️ I have contacted everyone that had appointments but I’m also now having to rearange the diary so please bear when me. 🙏 Appointment schedules may need to be pushed back slightly but I’ll do my best to get everyone in as normal. Thank you for all being so understanding 🐾🌸 #doggroomeruk #doggrooming #doggroomersofinstagram #covidruinedmyplans
