Let me tell you about my Big Madison—my right-hand woman, occasional mind reader, and apparently my supervisor. 😂❤️

Madison is one of the best assistants I have ever had. I can make one slightly disgruntled face across the salon, and she somehow knows exactly what I need. Half the time, I haven’t even figured out what I need yet, but she’s already handling it. At this point, I’m pretty sure reading my facial expressions belongs on her résumé.

She is loyal, compassionate, one of the best listeners, and truly amazing with animals. There’s so much care behind what she does, and I’m lucky to see it every day.

Many clients assume she owns the place because she’s so capable and keeps things moving while I hide in my corner and groom. My kids think she’s my boss. Other clients think we’re sisters—or that she’s my daughter. Quite frankly, we don’t correct anyone. Whatever role you’ve assigned her, she’s probably already doing it. 😂

Running a business takes more than being good at your own job. It takes having people beside you who care about the animals, the clients, and the business you’ve worked so hard to build. Madison is absolutely one of those people.

Madison, I see everything you do, including all the things you quietly handle before I ever have to ask. You make my days easier, our salon better, and the dogs’ days happier. You are truly a gem, and I appreciate you more than you know. ❤️🐾

After 22 years of grooming, I can tell you that running a successful shop takes a lot more than loving dogs and owning scissors. Although loving dogs helps when you’re wearing enough of their hair to build another one. 😂🐾

It takes patience, organization, clean equipment, continued learning, and the ability to adjust your whole plan because someone has decided that today, we are absolutely NOT touching the left front foot.

What sets me apart at Hailey’s Collar and Comb is the experience I bring—and how much attention I pay to the dog in front of me. I learn their personalities, their comfort levels, what helps them settle, and when they need a break. Some dogs need encouragement. Some need a slower approach. Some would like to speak directly to management. Unfortunately for them, that’s also me. 😂

And that’s why I’m so committed to rebooking.

Yes, I become a little like a clingy girlfriend:
“When am I seeing you again?”
“Did you forget about me?”
“I thought we had a standing thing?” 🤣

I’m not checking your location. I’m checking how many weeks it’s been since I last saw your dog.

There’s a purpose behind my persistence. A consistent schedule helps us stay ahead of tangles, maintain a manageable coat, and make grooming more familiar. It also lets us keep building trust instead of having every visit feel like we’re getting acquainted all over again.

Your dog’s schedule should fit their coat, lifestyle, and the upkeep you can realistically do at home. We’ll figure that out together—with an honest conversation about what works, because “I brush him every day” and “he allows three strokes before stealing the brush” are two different maintenance plans. 😂

Behind the scenes, I’m balancing appointments, cleaning, supplies, expenses, and making sure there’s time to care for each dog properly. A successful shop needs good business habits, but it also needs clients who trust you enough to keep coming back—and that trust has to be earned.

I want your dog looking good, feeling comfortable, and building a relationship with someone who knows them.

So if I’m reminding you to book your next appointment before you leave… just know this relationship means a lot to me. And I’d like to see your dog again in six weeks. 🤍✂️

“Beginnings are scary, endings are usually sad, but it’s the middle that counts the most.” — Hope Floats ❤️

They’ve only been on the water since daylight, and Vince just sent this in. 🦀

He’s been crabbing for years, but opening this part of his business to our friends, family, and community brings a whole new excitement.

This picture is a little piece of that middle—the early mornings, the hours getting everything ready, and the time a father and son spend working together. While they’re busy making a living, they’re also making memories they’ll keep long after today’s catch is gone.

We’re excited to see where this chapter takes VJL Seafood. Knowing Vince, he’s probably wondering why everyone’s getting emotional when there’s work to do.

I’d say let’s take a moment to celebrate, but I’m sure Vince has already told John, “All right, enough admiring it. That tub isn’t going to move itself.” 😂❤️

🐾 The heart behind Hailey’s Collar and Comb

With 22 years of grooming experience and a background in animal husbandry and dog breeding, my work is rooted in a lifelong connection to dogs.

I grew up in a family that raised champion hunting dogs, where attentive care, patience, and respect for animals were part of everyday life. My great-uncle Roland was a dog groomer in the 1970s, and his daughter helped give me my own start.

She bought me my first grooming tools and kit, and I worked to pay off that set by grooming her five dogs. She also helped me find my first clients. Her encouragement gave me the opportunity to turn something I loved into work I could be proud of—a kindness I still carry with me today.

That foundation shapes how I care for every dog who comes through my doors. Each has their own personality, comfort level, and grooming needs, and I draw on my experience to give them thoughtful, individual care.

One of the most meaningful parts of this work is getting to know your dogs, earning their trust, and caring for them through different stages of life.

Thank you for trusting me with someone you love and for being part of a business that means so much to me. 💛
