Im open 4 years this month!!! This came up on my memories so ive added some photos from the last 4 years 🐾

"My family got me this gorgeous cake with my logo on it to celebrate my official opening back in July 2020.🙌

A little back story- I had been grooming for about 10 years, I have worked in a couple of different salons alongside some amazing groomers. I started to look into opening my own salon searching for a shop front commercial unit which I didn't find 😔

I wanted to stay local to he lovely people of Shankill. My husband built (working day and night to plumb , build, wire and fit everything in ) my small grooming room in rathsallagh! I painted , got equipment, insurance , paper work all ready...

And tada i started to take bookings as a self employed dog groomer 🤪

Best decision I've ever made. Despite covid hitting and having to close my salon numerous times.

I've meet a lot of lovely dog owners and have built up great relationships with my furry clients. I look forward to seeing my doggos at their grooming appointments , you wouldn't believe the amount of times I'll randomly think of a dog i haven't seen in a while and wonder if they are doing well 💜

Some dogs I see every month , some once/twice a year. I have met some amazing little puppies that have stuck with me and are now a little older, I love watching them grow. I have some golden oldies and i give them an extra cuddle at every appointment wondering if this will be the last time ill see them 💔 and Some dogs have sadly crossed over the rainbow bridge. Each dog has their own personality with likes and dislikes and I love getting to know them!

My family has grown since I opened and I can't wait to show my son what I do. He already loves dogs!! Sure he'd have too 😆

Thank you to every dog that has passed through my doors, I love this job and I'm so grateful everyday that I get to do it.

Thank you for choosing a family run, small local dog groomer. I appreciate your support over the last couple of years. Here's to hopefully many more years of making the dogs of Shankill clean and beautiful 😉

Hi all,
I just wanted to say thank you all for your understanding and patience ( and lovely well wishes messages 🥰 ) while I was off sick.
I hate to cancel appointments, and unfortunately, I have a list of 45 dogs that I had to cancel 🥴😞

It would be impossible for me to find the space for that amount of dogs over the next couple of weeks, so I am asking that if I had to cancel your appointment and your dog is normally on a regular 6/8 week schedule that maybe in this case it would be okay for them to miss that one appointment and We could continue at their next appointment to keep them on track. Please let me know if you feel this option would suit your dog.

Alternatively , I could try and arrange to reschedule your appointment between now and July , but as I said, I can't guarantee to reschedule everyone.

I'm so sorry for any inconvenience caused. Im so looking forward to getting back to my doggys 💜🐾

28/05/2024

I am unfortunately out of work at the moment and have been since the 9th of May. I hope to be back in about 2 weeks ( 7th of June), but I will keep u all updated.
I am texting everyone who has an appointment booked in to let you know your appointment is now cancelled.
Sorry for any inconvenience caused. Thank you for your patience and understanding 🐾

14/05/2024

A little photoshoot with ollie 💙
Also,Look at that sunshine shining in the door!! 💛 ☀️ 🌻

I really appreciate the messages I am getting regarding people wanting me to groom their dogs and become a customer, but unfortunately, I can not take on any new clients!

If , and when, I reopen my books I will post on my social media's.🫶

I am fully booked out about 8/10 weeks in advance, pretty much all year around now and the majority of my cients block book appointments so I must look after my regulars by not taking on any new cilents- if i did so I would be booked up a lot longer and therefore my regular cilents would find it too difficult to stay on schedule. I am a 1-1 groomer, and I pride myself on that. Each dog gets my undivided attention. I have found this is less stressful for myself and the dog, so to also keep this running smoothly and continue to provide a 1-1 service, I can't squeeze dogs in or take on too many 💓

Trust me - I would LOVE to take on more doggys. I love meeting new dogs , I love watching them grow and seeing them every month or so, but their is only one of me and only so many hours in the day 😆

and I NEVER thought that after 4 years i would be too busy to take on new dogs!!! But here we are!! Crazy. I really appreciate everyone who uses my business and trusts me to look after their dog. Thank you 🥰

10 years young, milo!! The satisfaction of deshedding a golden retriever 🤌🏻 once all the undercoat was removed, I trimmed milo's feathering ever so slightly, which leaves such a lovely finish. I love light trimming for a natural look on Retriever 👌🏻 the pictures do not do his gorgeous, slickly soft coat justice!!
