Doggie Stylez Grooming Salon

09/24/2024

We don't know about you, but we sure are ready for sweater weather! Summer has seemed to be both never ending and over in a blink simultaneously. We hope you all are doing well!

We are happy to announce that Heather is opening availability for a LIMITED amount of new, SMALL breed fuzzy clients! Spaces do fill quickly and we can't guarantee an opening, so if you or someone you know is looking, let us know as soon as possible!

Due to spacing and weight restrictions, we do have a few factors that will determine if we are able to accept your pup:

*Small breeds ONLY (Adult size 15 lbs or less )
*No previous grooming experience required if under 6 months of age. If 6 months or older, the pup must have had previous grooming experiences in a salon environment.

If you'd like to schedule, send us a text and we will reach out to schedule. Again, spaces are very limited, so we will do our best to accommodate as many pups as possible!

To all our amazing clients!

First of all, thank you everyone for being so patient with us as we adjusted to the craziness this winter and spring. We have worked tirelessly to do the best we can to transition the salon from 3 groomers to 2. It hasn't been easy. When Candy quit, it was with very little notice and a lot of confusion as the messages she sent some of her clients did not explain clearly what was going on. Heather and I sincerely apologize on her behalf for the poor handling of all of that.

Secondly, Candy has inquired to us about coming back part time. We want you all to know that we have declined her request. To be honest, we have had some issues and concerns with her handling of pups for quite a while now. It was also an extremely difficult transition due to how she decided to tell everyone she was quitting and it made our job extremely hard for the last few months. We have also had to cut our clientele down drastically to a number we can manage on our own. We have increased our productivity to accommodate clients and do not have the space to work around a 3rd person.

We have heard that she is saying some not so nice things about us around Facebook and we apologize for her drama. We would just like to do our job and do it well. We have heard that she is grooming small dogs out of her house in Kingsley. We do not judge and hold no animosity for anyone wishing to follow her. We simply no longer wish to bring negative vibes into our lives or our salon. Our furry clients seem so much happier with their time spent in our salon now than they were with her there and we do not believe that is a coincidence. She is simply no longer a good fit for us and we are moving on. Anyone wishing to track her down is more than welcome to reach out and we will point you in her direction.

This has always been our salon, our baby, our dream. We've shared it with others along the way but in the beginning and in the end, it's always belonged to us. We appreciate all of you and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking this journey with us.

Brandey is going to be out of town next week so our hours will be shorter, but Heather will be working full days wed, thurs and friday while she is gone. Brandey will also be gone for 10 days in June. After the 4th of July, things should start quieting down some as we settle into summer hours and appts should be much easier to get. Thank you again for bearing with us as we make this transition. We love you all ❤️

Heather and Brandey

EDIT: It has been brought to our attention that Candy is telling everyone that we are accusing her of mistreatment of pets in her care. At no time have we ever said that. We have never accused her of abusive behavior towards pets. Again, we apologize on her behalf for all the headaches and drama being brought. Please reach out if you would like means of reaching Candy for future grooming appointments and we will be happy to pass that along for you.

Update on the puppy found with her deceased owner 🫶 she is stable and they are looking for donations if anyone wants to help out and continued prayers

05/05/2024

Prayers for the pup and for the family of the owner 🙏

We have a special request tonight ... for your prayers and best wishes.

This poor baby girl (just 7 months old) was found after having been trapped in a house with her deceased owner for two weeks. During that time, she had no care, and when she was transferred to us she was so weak she was unable to walk. She was immediately taken to Bay Area Pet Hospital, Traverse City Michigan, where she has spent the last two nights. She is still with us, but holding on by a thread, so we ask for your prayers, best wishes, good vibes, and positive feelings that this poor baby will continue to survive and eventually thrive.

If you would like to go a step further, we always appreciate donations made directly to Bay Area on our account ... multi-night stays for extremely ill dogs don't come cheap. But, really, just pray for her and hold your pets tight tonight.

Update: For anyone who wants to donate but is having trouble with making payments over the phone or doesn't want to go through Bay Area, you can also send a check to PO Box 1953, Traverse City, MI, 49685 or go through our PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=L4Y9HYFSXCKCW

Thank you all so much for your support!

Just as a reminder to our clients that construction begins very soon along west bay and traffic is getting detoured down 8th street. It is going to be very busy so please allow extra time to get to and from appointments. Also, please be cautious when walking up to the door as we have been seeing a rise in people cutting down our driveway to avoid the Woodmere/8th stoplight.
