Happy fall, everyone! I just wanted to share a few notices & reminders as we head into the holidays. Also, if you tried to get a hold of me in August, please re-text me! I was out of town and am sure I missed some messages. DO NOT reach out via FB messenger.
I am the smallest of small businesses and on top of that, I have kept my prices extremely low (even despite inflation & increases in my costs) because I want grooming to be affordable for my clients. On top of that, I forego a significant amount of potential income by retaining my one-on-one appointments and not hiring more groomers. Again, because I want what’s best for the doggos in my care.
Because of this, I cannot afford to go unpaid for my services. I am flexible and understanding but sometimes I’m out hundreds of dollars at a time and it’s just not sustainable especially if I want to maintain low prices and a one-on-one schedule.
I get that life happens and am always happy to help however I can but there are a few things I need to remain in business;
- Appointments are typically scheduled weeks or months out so if you think you may not be able to pay for your appt, please reach out to me BEFOREHAND so we can make a plan that works for both of us.
- Please give me at LEAST 24 hour notice if you need to cancel. Last-minute cancellations cost me a small fortune because I don’t have time to fill the slot and lose that time and money.
- Same-day cancellations and no-shows will result in a fee of 50% of the cost of the groom which must be paid before the next appointment.
- If you are paying via Venmo, CashApp or invoice it must be paid BEFORE your appointment.
- I have implemented a small price increase of 10%.
Thank you all for keeping me so busy! I truly have THE BEST clients (human AND doggie) a groomer could ask for. I feel so blessed by you and appreciate you choosing and trusting me with your four-legged family members.
Any questions (or missed messages!) please text me. That’s the best way to get me!
