🐾 Important Salon Update - please read fully 🐾
Hi everyone,
As most of you know, my salon simply isn’t equipped for the high temperatures we’re currently experiencing (whatever happened to just one week of summer?! 🤷♀️😆).
Being a wooden structure, it becomes incredibly hot inside, and my portable air conditioning unit is about as useful as a chocolate teapot! 🍫🫖 I have to put the wellbeing of your pooches first, and it’s simply not safe or fair on them, or on myself, to be grooming in those conditions. It also leaves me with the incredibly difficult task of trying to fit everyone into early morning appointments when my diary is already so full.
With temperatures forecast to reach 28-30°C again this week, I’ve made the difficult decision to cancel all appointments for the coming week.
If you’re concerned that your dog genuinely can’t comfortably wait, please send me a message. I’ll review each situation individually and, where I feel it’s appropriate, I’ll do my very best to offer an early morning appointment before the temperatures become too high.
Whilst making this decision, I’ve also done a great deal of thinking this weekend about the future of my business as a whole.
Many of you know the last 18 months have been incredibly difficult for me personally, and although I genuinely believed I’d be ready to return after taking some time away, it’s become clear that I need to make some changes to create a better work-life balance and decide what the future looks like for me.
Going forward, with immediate effect, I’ll be reducing my grooming business to Mondays and Tuesdays only.
Unfortunately, this means I won’t have enough appointments to continue grooming all of my existing clients. My diary will therefore be based around the limited appointments I have available.
Over the coming days I’ll be in touch with those clients I have capacity to accommodate within my new working pattern regarding future appointments. If you don’t hear from me, I’d encourage you to make alternative grooming arrangements moving forward.
I completely understand that these changes won’t work for everyone, and I’m truly sorry for any disappointment or inconvenience this may cause.
Thank you all so much for your understanding, kindness and continued support. It really is appreciated as I navigate this next chapter.
Kerrie 💕
