📣 Important Notice 📣

Hi everyone! I’m so excited to return to work soon and see all of the lovely clients that I have missed. So there are a few things to update you on before I return.

The salon will re open on July 8th and due to childcare I will be working part time hours- 2/3 days per week. These days will vary each week so unfortunately I will no longer be able to offer set days.
I will be opening my books from this Friday the 7th of June and reply to all booking enquiries then. Please message me via my work accounts- instagram/Facebook messenger or email.
Due to working much less hours than before there will be limited availability so my bookings will be on a first come first serve basis and I will only be taking bookings up until September for the time being.

I will no longer be able to offer a collection and drop off service.

Although I always try to keep my prices low upon reviewing my return to work my operating costs have increased significantly due to inflation. Therefore my prices will be increasing. The price of each dog will depend on several things including the breed, behaviour (time to groom your pet) and condition of their coat so please get in touch for an estimate.

I appreciate that a lot of you have gone elsewhere since I’ve been off and I completely understand if you have found a new groomer more suitable for your pets needs/schedule.

I am looking forward to seeing you all and thank you for your continued support.

☁️Welcoming Florence Maeve Greenslade to the world☁️

Thank you again to all of my lovely customers who have sent their best wishes to me and my girl. Florence arrived last Sunday the 14th at 11.51am.

She is perfect and we are completely in love.

Let’s hope she loves doggies as much as her mama 😁

‼️📣The salon is temporarily closed📣‼️

So today I’ve finally closed the salon for my maternity leave. I will be closed for 6 months and not able to respond to any messages during this time.
When I know an exact date and decide to open my books I will notify every customer directly, this will be around a month before opening. You can then book through your usual channels. Unfortunately I will not be able to automatically book anyone back in as there are just too many of you. It’ll be first come, first serve 😊

Thank you so much for your continued support, thoughtful gifts and well wishes for our baby girl. It’s so appreciated and I always count myself very lucky to have such an amazing customer base.

I will look forward to seeing each and every doggy when I return but for now it’s time to put my feet up and prepare for our little bundle to arrive 💖

Have a lovely Christmas & New Year!

See you in 2024 ✨

I hope everyone had a great start to the week! I certainly did with Cooper keeping me company.

I can’t believe it’s nearly October & only 10 weeks until my maternity leave. Time is flying by! I am now fully booked until then with the exception of cancellations. So please keep a look out as I will post any last minute cancellations on my social media pages. However I have set up a cancellation list for November so please get in touch if you’d like to be added to that 🐾

Maternity Leave Notice:

With my maternity leave getting closer and my diary getting busier, I want to keep everyone in the loop so no one is missing out before I go off on maternity to spend some special time with our little girl 💖

My last working day will be November 30th & the salon will be closed for around 6 months. I will confirm the exact date of opening closer to the time & notify everyone directly around a month In advance so you’re able to book your doggies back in.

My last week in work (commencing November 27th) is already fully booked so I highly recommend, if you haven’t already, booking your dogs grooms up until I close. My waiting list is still 5/6 weeks so please get in touch ASAP.
Due to the high volume of regulars and my long waiting list I have decided to temporarily stop taking on any new customers.

Thank you for your understanding and I apologise for any inconvenience caused by closing for so long.
You’re the best customers & I am very lucky.

The salon is very busy this summer so I’d like to give a gentle reminder to all of my customers to please book well in advance.
My hours are Monday to Friday 9-5pm, however due to trying to accommodate everyone I’ve been opening much earlier and working until 6/7pm most evenings.
Unfortunately I will no longer be able to do this so please bear that in mind upon booking.
All current late bookings will be honoured but going forward I will only be working my regular hours.
I’m sorry for any inconvenience caused and please feel free to message me with any queries.
Thanks for your continued support,
Steph 🐾
