As mentioned in our pricing and scheduling update post last week, I have decided to exit the mobile and work solely from my home salon starting in September. This has been a long thought out and difficult decision. The mobile salon has been good to me for the past 4 years. I have sooo many wonderful clients that I will miss seeing. 💔 I will be sure to find a spot for you at my home salon if you wish to come to me. 😍 I look forward to this next season of being more available to my family.
I am happy that the mobile salon can continue to run. And I know Vanessa will take good care of everyone.
Thank you for all of the kind words and understanding during this transition! 🙏 🩷

I want to give a shout-out to Jess and Vanessa for keeping things running smoothly while I was on vacation this past week. ❤️ I was able to get in some much needed family time and relaxation up north. 🏕 Tilly enjoyed some hiking and lots of swimming. 🏖 Did you spot her in the bridge photo?

New Mobile Pricing starting Sept 2024

02/08/2024

Mobile Price Adjustment and Scheduling:

After careful consideration, we have realized that our current pricing has not been sustainable due to rising operational costs and our commitment to providing top-notch grooming services. To ensure our team can maintain a comfortable life with a livable wage and to bring everyone's prices to the same level, we will be implementing a price increase.

Scheduling Changes:

Our grooming schedule is busier than ever, making it challenging to accommodate everyone. We previously required those on discounted pricing to adhere to a 4-week schedule, but we are lifting that requirement. However, we still strongly recommend monthly maintenance for optimal coat care.

Vanessa will now operate mobile services four days a week, while Ashley will be available at the home salon five days a week. We are committed to maintaining our high standards of service, supported by years of specialized training and significant investments in tools and equipment.

Service Area Adjustments:

Given the extensive travel involved in reaching some of our clients, we will be tightening our service area. Unfortunately, this means we will no longer be able to offer mobile services to certain locations. We deeply treasure the time we’ve spent with each of you and regret any inconvenience this may cause. If you fall outside our new service area, we will contact you directly by September 1st.

Next Steps:

- If you are comfortable with the new pricing and wish to maintain your current schedule, please let us know.
- If you need to adjust the frequency of your appointments or decide not to continue with our services, please inform us by September 1st and we will adjust accordingly.
- Clients who do not respond by September 1st will be removed from the schedule.
- Going forward, starting Sept 1st, you will need to book future appointments through our online booking system

And if you need any assistance, we would be happy to set up reoccurring a schedule for you! Just reply to this email or send us a text message at (269) 350-3092.


We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this transition. Our goal is to continue providing the best possible care for your pets while maintaining a sustainable business model.

Thank you for all your support!

Warm regards,
Ashley

TransFURmation Tuesday

22/04/2024

With Vanessa on vacation and following my girls to all their things (dance, tball, softball, volleyball, and 4H Dog class), time got away from me last week. So here are some of the friendly faces from last week. 🩷

Friday's friendly faces belong to Toby and Ollie 💛

This tool tip Tuesday features our most used brush:
Slicker Brushes
Slicker brushes consist of brush heads covered with short, tightly-packed wire pins angled to go through the coat and avoid the skin. Use them on medium-coated, long-coated, wire-coated, and curly-coated dogs to remove mats (and prevent mats from forming) by removing loose hair. Maintain a light touch when using slicker brushes, as pressing down hard could cause your dog discomfort.

Ashley is a little jealous that Vanessa got to meet this friendly face this week 💕

Tool Tip Tuesday 🪮
An undercoat rake is one of our favorite tools for double coated breeds. It glides through undercoat, helping to eliminate loose and excessive hair.
