SALON CLIENTS ONLY — PLEASE READ 🤍

I want to give a quick reminder regarding a few of our salon policies going forward.

If I currently do not have a card on file for you, I will be sending over a request to add one. Our cancellation policy requires 48 hours’ notice. I have historically been very flexible with this policy when circumstances come up, and I will always try to be understanding when I can.

However, frequent and last-minute cancellations have become increasingly difficult to accommodate. We have had 3 appointments cancelled already this week and 5 last week alone. Going forward, cancellation fees will be enforced, and clients who consistently cancel may be removed from our recurring schedule.

I book salon clients for the entire year for a reason. We have a schedule to maintain, employees to pay, and clients on our waitlist who would happily take an available appointment with adequate notice.

No-shows will be charged the full cost of the scheduled appointment. If you’re running late or something comes up, please communicate with me. We can usually work something out! You also receive multiple appointment reminders leading up to your scheduled visit.

I also want to clarify our recurring scheduling requirement. Our salon operates on a 6-week-or-less recurring schedule. Yes, this is the only scheduling structure I offer. Other salons may operate differently, and that’s completely okay. These are simply the policies and scheduling requirements that allow The Good Dog to operate effectively and provide consistent care to our clients.

All of these requirements are outlined in our intake paperwork, along with explanations for why they are in place. Please make sure you thoroughly read the policies you agree to when booking with us.

The Good Dog has been my salon for 7 years, and after 9 years of grooming, I’m incredibly grateful to continue growing and expanding. With that growth comes the need to be more consistent in protecting our schedule and our team’s time.

I truly appreciate the clients who communicate with us, respect their reserved appointment times, and have continued to support The Good Dog over the years. 🤍

Does any teacher, women’s/children’s organization, or animal shelter/rescue have a wishlist that needs a little love? 🤍

Please PM me what you need or drop your wishlist link below!

For the entire month of September, 100% of our tips will be set aside to help fulfill local wishlists.

We’d love to use this month to give back to the people and animals in our community who could use it most.

Look at her 🥹

Thank you for all of the support over the years and for making this possible for us. This has been such a huge goal of mine, and it feels a little surreal seeing it all come together. 🤍

I’ll be in touch with those waiting to be rescheduled first, followed by those on our mobile waitlist, over the weekend.

I can’t wait to bring The Good Dog to you. 🐾

Just a little scheduling reminder 🤍

We’ve had quite a few last-minute reschedules lately. We are currently booked at the salon for the remainder of the year, so last-minute changes are incredibly difficult to fill and take opportunities away from clients who have been waiting for an appointment.

Because of this, our cancellation/rescheduling policy will be enforced consistently. Our schedule is carefully built around reserved appointments, recurring clients, and staffing.

If you see me post an opening, it is typically from a last-minute change and does not necessarily mean I have availability to offer an ongoing recurring schedule.

I completely understand that life happens and there are absolutely no hard feelings! 🤍 We just ask that everyone please be mindful of their reserved appointment times and our scheduling policy.

If you get a chance, stop by the local shelter! There are so many sweet dogs and kittens who would absolutely love some extra socialization, attention, and love!

Hi everyone! It has been very busy around here, and as always, we are ever so thankful for all of you. ♥️

With that being said, we have experienced some delays in communication, and I do want to apologize, as that’s not typically like us! I’ll be catching up on inquiries beginning this evening and throughout the weekend.

Thank you so very much for your patience and understanding. We truly appreciate you! I hope everyone has an incredible rest of their week! 🐾
