(1191)
Visit at your convenience when your pup needs a clean-up. Whether it’s for a nail trim or a full-service groom, we’ve got you covered. Formerly known as Candelore’s Barking Beauties, we’re proud to continue the legacy as simply Barking Beauties — same heart, same care, just with a fresh new look and exciting things ahead! What started in 2015 as a small family salon in Elizabeth has grown into a P
ittsburgh favorite, built on love, family, and a passion for pups. Thanks to the Candelore family’s vision, Barking Beauties became the go-to spot where dogs of all breeds and sizes leave looking (and feeling) fabulous. Now under new ownership, we’re carrying that legacy forward while adding our own energy and ideas. With new locations popping up, more services on the horizon, and the same “no appointment needed” convenience, we’re here to make sure every pup gets the VIP treatment they deserve. At Barking Beauties, every dog is family and we can’t wait to welcome yours into ours!

Candelore's Barking Beauties was founded in March 2015. The story and how this all happen is very special to our family. In January 2015 my Dad passed away and if you knew Mr. C. then you know this loss has been very difficult for myself and our family. Like they say when one door closes another door opens, that is exactly what happen here. My Daughter Kelsi Candelore and I were driving back to the Funeral Home to get her car after my dad's celebration of life dinner. She was telling me about her job and how much she loves being a groomer. So of course, I ask are you working steady and are you making enough money? Her response was "I don't get enough hours", I said maybe we can find a small spot and me and you can make something happen, of course she was excited and so was I.
This was January 22nd, 2015. The next day I called around the Elizabeth area looking for places available for a small grooming salon, we got lucky and meet Dan Poirier owner of the Central Plaza. I contacted my cousin Vincent Candelore (who has since passed away) and he put together what I think is the most magical business ever, he built the room and made things work, he had us up and running by March 7th 2015 and the doors open.
My daughter Kelsi and I opened with no idea what to expect, who might show up, if anyone would show up, we had no idea if we would even get 1 guest, we had no idea at all. In the meantime, my cousin Larry Mink worked with me everyday on marketing and getting our message out. If you know my cousin Larry (who also passed away since getting us open) he was probably one of the top marketing people for many years, so as you can see we are surrounded by angels, we had help and we had the right help. My Dad, my cousin Vinnie, my cousin Larry are with us everyday guiding us and supporting us.
We have the best customers, the most supportive customers, we have some extra help with 3 beautiful angels watching over us everyday. We are very proud of our reputation and servicing the thousands of guests that have become a member of our Barking Beauties Family.
Since we opened our 1st Grooming Salon in March 2015 in Elizabeth Township we have added a Grooming Salon in White Oak that opened August 2017 and recently opened a Grooming Salon in Finleyville June 2019 and have added a Grooming Salon in Monongahela July 2020. We now service and take care of over 19,000 precious fur babies and we plan to open additional locations over the next 2 to 3 years. We currently employee 26 of the areas best and most caring people including 9 certified groomers that can handle just about any grooming service that is requested.
If you have never been to one of our Grooming Salons, please allow your fur baby the opportunity to get spoiled by our team. We are open Tuesday through Saturday 8am to 6pm for your convenience, NO APPOINTMENT NEEDED.
From all us at Candelore's and especially my daughter and me, Thank You!
