Hair Of The Dog

THE 2027 DIARY IS NOW OPEN 🗓️

I will be in contact over the next couple of weeks to offer block booking dates to those who have already let me know they’d like to secure next years appointments. If you’d like to be added to the list, please pop me a message!

As my diary is extremely busy throughout the year, it is really important all customers understand that I cannot guarantee an appointment if you have not pre booked ahead. My diary is currently booking 3-4 months ahead.

Block bookings can be made for 6 months or 12 months in advance at any time throughout the year. I really suggest that, if you are able too, secure your 2027 appointments now (we can always alter any throughout the year if needed - it’s easier to swap a date than find a space that doesn’t exist!!)

I really hate the thought of not being able to offer everyone the desired slots they require, however this is only made possible by prior bookings. With over a thousand appointments during the year, I’m a one-woman band and cannot keep spaces reserved for you all.

If you would like to block book your 2027 appointments, please send me a message with the following information:
• Desired day of the week (Mon-Fri)
• Desired time (My usual booking times are 7:30, 9:30, 11:30, 1:30, 2:30)
• How many weeks you’d like between each appointment.
(Late afternoon appointments are available upon request however are limited)

As a reminder, I only work a set number of weekends throughout the year so all Saturday clients must reserve their appointments by January to secure their dates.
(I am unfortunately unable to take on any more Saturday clients at this time).

I’d like to make all clients aware that block booking for the year means you have first grabs at Christmas slots - dates between 10th to 22nd Dec are very popular meaning December is usually fully booked before the year begins.

I always do my best to allocate a rolling 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 week schedule however this is not always possible due to other bookings or planned annual leave. So please note that some changes may be required, which would mean an appointment is one week out from your typical schedule.

Thank you everyone, get booking!! 🤎

Scissors down & signing off 👋

I am now on annual leave and off on a very exciting trip 🇺🇸🐭✨🎟️

I won’t have access to my work phone during this time, so all messages will be picked up upon my return on September 26th.

The salon will remain open, on select days, for Izzy’s clients.

Your patience during this time is greatly appreciated,
Bec 🤎

Afternoon everyone!

Quick update from me regarding what the remainder of this year looks like availability wise 🗓️

I am currently fully booked at 3-4 month periods at a time. Which is roughly 3 appointments pre-booked for a dog on a 6 weekly schedule.

Most of you have been truly amazing this year, having all of your appointments already booked and confirmed before the year even commenced (so so grateful to all of you, this makes my life a hell of a lot easier when it comes to planning my diary!)
However I am still having a few messages pop up with needing appointments as soon as possible. Unfortunately with the way my diary is planned, I am just not able to offer out an appointment at short notice, sorry!

I’ll be getting some dates sent out to those waiting on appointments for the remainder of the year. If you are able to book to year end, get in touch and I can sort this for you.

Also, not to drop the C word in July and cause a slight panic, but I am FULLY BOOKED the fortnight of Christmas. With my closest available appointment being December 7th (currently!).

My diary is still closed to new clients at this time.
So so grateful to you all for keeping me so busy!

Who’s this handsome newbie on the block 👀

Everyone meet Teddy, who has recently moved from overseas!
His last groomer must’ve been sad to see him move as he is an absolute dreamboat 🥹
Good boy Teddy 🤎

‼️WEATHER UPDATE‼️

Hi everyone!

With the weather set reach well above 30° most days this week, I have made the decision to reschedule my diary for the days effected, ensuring peak heat times are avoided completely.

Please keep an eye out for any messages from me over the coming days - if you do not hear from me, your appointment will go ahead as planned.

I appreciate rearrangements can be a nuisance, however your dogs wellbeing is my main concern at this time.

I also cannot stress enough; if walking your dog to their appointment this week is your only option, please get in contact so that we can reschedule.

Thank you for helping me keep your dogs safe!

I’ve been toying with posting these progress pictures since, well, November of last year, and after a little wobble this week, I’ve decided it’s really important to look back on pictures like these and congratulate the time and work I’ve put in to better my grooms, products and services provided.

In light of the recent price increase this year, i want to show that its not just the cost of products, bills and other financial demands that comes with running a business that effects what you pay for a service. It’s also the time, practice, skill and education I put in to better the quality of work I hand back to my clients.

At times, this industry can be so under valued. It requires such a degree of patience, practice and precision which dog owners don’t often see. We are creating works of art on movin’, groovin’ puppies after all 😆

Same dog, same schedule, better products, improved skills. Gorgeous girl Rosie 🧡

Goodest boy Cooper aka real like teddy bear !! Look at his perfect floofy face 🧸🥺

Prepped in all this Peanut & Pickle to leave his coat feeling fabbbb 🫧

What’s better than an absolutely adorable show cocker spaniel I hear you ask?… A CLEAN show cocker spaniel!! 😍

I fear this may be click bait as for full transparency Louie is, without fail, muddy within 30 minutes of leaving the salon 🤣 So if any of Molly’s Mutts clients see Louie wrapped in bubble wrap one day.. ask no questions, Molly will have run out of warnings to keep him clean 🤫

What a fantastic educational day hosted by The Coat - so much knowledge and passion in one room. Taking away so much information, tips and tricks to implement in every day grooming as well as competing work later down the line.

Thanks to the amazing groomers who showcased their skills and didn’t tire of answering a lot of questions.

Thank you to Petite Paws Only only for joining along - we must do more days like this.
