Hello everyone! This is Curran, Kaysha’s husband. I am making this post in her behalf, as she is hard at work grooming your pups!

As you may have seen in her live video and post, Kaysha will be increasing her prices as of Sept. 1st, 2026. I made an updated price table for all of your convenience. (Not as pretty as the last one lol)

As well as the price increase, there will be a few more things implemented:
-Clients will need to be on a 4 week, 6 week, or 8 week schedule. This will help Kaysha with scheduling efficiency, time management, and allow her more focus on her hands-on work.
-Kaysha will no longer be available on weekends(sat-sun). In the past she has been willing to reschedule or in some situations, schedule on a weekends. This will no longer be the case as she is wanting/needing the time with her children. She is a (phenomenal)Mother before she is anything else, and deserves that uninterrupted time with her family.

I would like to thank everyone for their understanding, as well as, your support and commitment to Kaysha. It really is incredible to see the relationships she has with all of you, and know that not only Kaysha, but her family, appreciates you!

Hi friends!
As some of you know, these past two days I’ve been very, VERY sick with strep. It has caused me to fill up my next two weekends with rescheduled dogs, taking away any free time I have with my family, my two young boys especially.

This is not an easy decision, but, going forward if I become sick again (it rarely happens, I promise, first time in about 5 years) I will have to just simply cancel my days appointments. I can squeeze them into open spots throughout my weekdays. But for my personal sickness, I will not be rescheduling.. simply canceling.
Now of course if one of my boys are sick I am more than happy to reschedule to the weekend because I will be spending time with them during the day they’re home sick.

I do understand that it may not be fair. But.. I have to do this for my mental wellbeing and family. I’m riddled with anxiety having to work two weekends in a row and not see my babies. It’s NO ONES fault, but it needs to change.

I’m happy to recommend a bunch of lovely ladies who have way more open scheduling than I, don’t hesitate to reach out if you’d like to go a different direction, I understand.

Thanks for putting up with me, April 24 I’ll have been in business for two years with no sick callouts. Fingers crossed it’s at least another 2 years before another one

I have many dogs that come to me hesitantly. Know with confidence that they are still safe when you leave. They may be nervous but that’s why my salon is perfect for them, it’s as quiet as it can be and there’s no other barking dogs to set them off more. And they always get treats when here!

It’s so cute, most of my nervous clients get offered treats throughout the whole grooming session, but will only eat the treat once they’re finished with their groom. They know when they’re about be out of here and back with mom, so they feel comfy enough to eat!
