Hello everyone. I've been trying to find other alternatives before I made this post official. I had a booth renter that said they wanted to come on then backed out last week. So now I'm left with no choice.
I got accepted back to the police academy and am going to weekends only with a few exceptions in May. I've been over my head trying to keep up with everyone needing to get in but I can't. I just can't. I've been having almost a mental breakdown crying trying to figure out how I don't disappoint Bailey Grooming's amazing clients. I've told several of you already and got lots of you booked out through the beginning of July and some I had to let go... I've tried going through the whole client list but I've been wearing myself so thin I have to run from here to get kids then almost pass out the minute I get home. So it's nothing personal.. I'm not trying to ignore anyone. I still have a handful of spots left for my schedule through June... if you want to get in please message me. I can't guarantee a spot. Most available are for bath and brush spots for shorter coats like lab, beagle, pit, pug, etc...I CAN'T accommodate super hairy biggens like pyranese, Newfoundland, malamute etc... I also DON'T have anymore spots for big haircuts like doodles, standard poodles, etc .. and if it's a small dog haircut it needs to be a short short cut.. basically a shave.
If any of Heather's regulars didn't get messaged directly about this.. I'm human please contact me! I may still be able to find a spot for you. If you are one of Gabe or kelsey's regulars that fit what I can possibly fit in... contact me.
I will do my very best to get as many of you on my books as I can. Academy goes from March 16th to graduating day of July 6th.
Again please please please be kind. I've literally made myself sick over this and have had some nasty comments.
And I don't owe anyone an explanation for letting the employees go but I'd rather it come from me than speculation...
I couldn't afford them. Period. They were amazing and I know i will never be able to replace them. When I first bought this place i made a poor choice and took out a loan to help with mine and my soon to be ex-husbands business and am now going through a divorce... and haven't been able to catch up but was keeping my head barely above water. Then the insurance for workers comp and liability went through the roof and it was costing me money to even employ them... so I had to. I cried about it for weeks. I offered them booth rental positions but both declined which is fine it's not for everyone. So we are where we are.
I love you all please get in contact with me if you have any questions or possibly fit a spot... text is best. I will try to keep up.
