Just letting everyone know. With all the recent flooding, it is likely we will have reschedule this week. Roads and bridges are out or impassable. I will do my best to get to you and keep in contact with those that are scheduled. It is also very helpful to let me know if roads are not passable as 511 isn't always up to date. Communication is key at this point!

We are also taking donations for those that have been affected by the floods, whether that is offering to pay for someone's trim, or sending clothes, toiletries, or water with me at your appointment. These items will be dropped off at the Boyden Hull HS. The link below is always changing for items that are in high demand.

Just a few reminders as we head into busy season:

- Saturdays are now reserved for family time. Zach will accept haul ins on Saturday if it works with our schedule. We have something going on almost every weekend this summer and he needs to be there for them.

- Please respect our time!! Calling at all hours of the evening and early mornings will result in no response. Business hours are 8am-5pm Monday-Friday. If you don't hear back in 24 business hours, please try again. It is likely he was with another client when you called.

- This is a solo run business. Things get forgotten or missed. Please be patient.

- He is taking on a very limited amount of new clients. Just remember, if you are a new client it is likely you will have to wait 6-8 weeks before he can get you in.

- We are tossing around the idea of a cancelation fee. We have been burned in the past with people canceling very last minute. We do understand things happen like weather and illness, but if you are canceling the day of because you are "suddenly" on vacation is unacceptable.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Zach! As always, we appreciate all of you and helping keep this business going!!

It's crazy to think with these cold temps and snow that Spring will be here before we know it! If you are not already on the schedule now is a great time to call and scheduled for those spring trims and shoes! No worries, we are dreaming of warmer weather too!!

For about the millionth time, DO NOT MESSAGE THIS PAGE! You will get an automated message and be ignored. You will more than likely get pushed back even more, especially if you send a message late in the evening or early mornings. We have a family and a life outside of this business. The only reason I continue to keep this page up is to post updates, price changes, and new things we have going on. We appreciate everyone who has quit messaging this page and have been texting Zach. But please, keep in mind Zach is doing all the jobs! Secretary, accountant, scheduler, owner, purchaser, maintenance, welder, and a dad to 3 kids and a husband. It is beyond frustrating to receive messages past 9pm or at 5am and throughout Sundays.

If you have not received a reply from Zach via text or phone call, and it's been 24 hours, try again. Things aren't really slowing down and he misses messages. He's human. We just ask that you please be courteous of our time.

Also.....more things to come....stay tuned.
