It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Tina Turner. With her music and her boundless passion for life, she enchanted millions of fans around the world and inspired the stars of tomorrow. Today we say goodbye to a dear friend who leaves us all her greatest work: her music. All our heartfelt compassion goes out to her family. Tina, we will miss you dearly. (© Peter Lindbergh)

HERE’S TO THE FRIENDS

Here’s to the friends,
who give us grace to cancel the plans we made, when we were a different version of ourselves.

Here’s to the friends,
who never say ‘I told you so’ but instead, sit down and get comfortable, to hear the entire story they predicted already.

Here’s to the friends,
who send little videos of the things they know bring basic joy to your day.

Here’s to the friends,
who have our secrets in their pocket, and keep them safely guarded.

Here’s to the friends,
who show up for the happy, and the sad.
And see the importance in both.

Here’s to the friends,
we just could not be without, on this rollercoaster ride.

Here’s to the friends,
who bring in light, when light is scarce.

Here’s to you,
and here’s to them,
we’re blessed indeed,
to have that friend.

Had to share 😂

I understand that sometimes customers need to rearrange their appointments and have no problems with this , if possible the more notice l get the better, However if I turn up t the arranged appointment time and get no answer I will have to charge you £5 extra on your next groom , if this happens more than twice l will unfortunately have to remove you from my books. Luckily this does not happen very often but when it does its very frustrating..

As a small business I am sure you can appreciate that these 'no show' appointments are both costly and time consuming.

Many thanks for your continued support.

Hi to all my customers just to say Groomin' Gorgeous is now fully booked till the new year , l have no more available christmas bookings . I would like to wish you all a merry christmas and happy new year , see you in 2018 !!!

Christmas is a very busy time for most groomers and most of my appointments in December are now taken. If you need to cancel or rearrange your groom, l cannot guarantee your dog will be groomed now until the New Year. If you do need to cancel, could you please try to give me as much notice as you can. l know this is not always possible but it will at least give me a chance to offer someone else your appointment.Looking forward to seeing my regular and new grooms in the run up to christmas! See you all soon.🐾🐾🐾

Some lovely feedback we just had to share!

"I could not think of anyone else that I could have to groom my 2 Westie boys Alyson has cared for them for over 5 years. Snowy's first groom at a professional salon was very traumatic for him and left him very nervous to be groomed. Alyson spent a lot of time gaining his trust and reassuring him he was safe in her hands. Olly has only ever been groomed by Alyson and quite enjoys his grooming. Both of my boys have total trust in Alyson, it shows by the greeting she receives every time she arrives at our home. They always look so handsome when she is finished. Thank you so much Alyson. xx"

Don't forget yo book in your Autumn Groom as soon as possible and keep your doggy pal feeling fresh as a daisy. Text Alyson on 07474 670499 for details.

Does your much loved doggy pal hate getting groomed? Do they visibly pull back from going into the pooch parlour?

So many dogs find getting groomed an exceptionally stressful experience, it can be noisy, intimidating and just plain scary.
Having your dog bathed, groomed and clipped in the comfort of their own home can make it all so much easier for them and more cost-effective for you.

I offer a full grooming service using a top of the range, integral clipper and 'silent' vacuum to reduce noise and mess, with a range of fabulous doggy pampering products at really competitive prices.

Take the stress out of grooming - call me on 07474 670499 or message me to discuss.
