Air con is on and actually working properly 👌
Currently 22° while outside is 32°! It does creep up when dryer is on but much more manageable than if I didnt have it on. Will keep monitoring it making sure its safe for your dogs 🐕 😊

Evening

Thankfully migraine has gone and only headaches daily to deal with but its more manageable and have been back to work this past week, not pushing myself in fear of it returning.
Now im back we've this heatwave! I cannot move any more dogs about to avoid the heat but understand if you would prefer to cancel the groom. I will have my air con working but the salon may still become too hot. I will monitor daily/hourly to ensure its safe to work and for your dogs. I may have to change how I groom to ensure safety too, by clipping dogs first then bathing and rough drying and sending home damp? Again this will be different for each dog. Your dogs health and welfare come first, over vanity especially older dogs who will struggle with the heat and the dryers.

Morning
Unfortunately im still suffering with this migraine, its been 6 days now.
On Monday my dr sent me to a&e with a suspected brain bleed 😮 I was given pain relief and admitted early hours of Tuesday morning after having a CT Scan. Thankfully no bleed or infection 🙌 I was seen by a lovely dr Tuesday mid day and after looking at my test results and running some visual tests said its just a migraine and to come home, sleep and rest. My lovely husband has taken time out of work to look after me as im struggling being vertical.. Pain relief is taking the edge off but not taking it away and not being able to stand for long periods means that grooming isn't possible. Im taking things day by day at the moment, unfortunately letting people down the night before.
Now with the potential of being off tomorrow, that's 25 dogs I've been unable to groom this week and with 8 dogs still waiting for an appointment to be booked, im asking everyone to please understand I won't be able to book people in asap. My diary is already full till September 😬
Please don't put me under pressure to get your dogs booked in, I will try my very best to accommodate where I can, but if your dog is in need of a groom asap or cant wait till the next appointment please reach out to other local groomers who are all lovely and maybe able to get you in before I can.

Good Morning
The salon is closed today, apologies to those I've had to cancel short notice. Ive been suffering with migraines since Friday and have been laid up on sofa most of the weekend trying my hardest to be ok for today. Unfortunately another has hit me in early hours and im struggling this morning. I will do my very best to rearrange as soon as im on my feet again x

Morning all.

There has been a lot of diary changes recently and people requesting appointments. Please reach out if you are waiting still for an appointment to be booked. My diary is rammed till September and I've still yet to amend those booked in August when im away (5th till 18th) but can possibly squeeze those waiting somewhere in the middle

Another glorious day 🌞but thankfully alot cooler than the last few days 🙏
The salon is open today with air con running. Its still very hot in here though, so will continue to monitor if its safe enough to groom in these conditions as the hours go by and tomorrow when its set to be warmer than today. I can appreciate that your dogs maybe struggling with the heat and need grooming, but I'd hate for your dogs to become unwell from heatstroke from being in here under the dryers. . For those that I've already had to cancel, im still trying to sort my personal appointments out so I can fit you in. Thankfully next week looks to be back to the usual UK cold and grey and possibly wet weather making grooming alot more bearable 😂

Happy Bank Holiday
What lovely weather we've got 🌞
Due to the extreme temperatures, please be aware that the salon may need to close at short notice over the coming days if conditions become unsafe for the dogs or myself

Grooming salons can become very hot environments with dryers, equipment, and
constant activity, and high temperatures can put dogs at serious risk of overheating, stress, and heatstroke — especially during longer appointments or for elderly, thick-coated, or brachycephalic breeds.

The safety and wellbeing of the dogs in my care will always come first, and I appreciate your understanding and patience if appointments need to be rearranged at short notice due to the heat.

If you would prefer to reschedule to a later date please let me know and I'll be happy to change dates for you.

Afternoon

Not long been home. Im frozen already! Work phone has been switched on and im trying my best to work through messages. Lots of diary changes to sort out and im very tired to do all today, so im not ignoring anyone if you're awaiting a response. Ive had a few personal appointments come through while I've been away, so will need to amend some of your appointments so I can get myself or one of the kids to these appointments.
On a positive note the salon will be open from 9am tomorrow ✂️🐶

Morning
Just a friendly reminder that the salon will close friday and reopens 13th May. If you need to sort appointments out, please message me before 5pm friday as phone will be off from 6pm. Also my diary is now full till Mid June, and only have the odd slot available.
We have also booked holiday for August (5th till 18th) I haven't yet started to rework diary for those weeks as we are wondering if it will go ahead, if the scaremongering of fuel shortage is real or not. Will sort those appointments out closer to the time.
