“Alex is absolutely amazing. Kind, lovely, professional and the care she has for the animals is outstanding. My little dog can be quite anxious and fidgety but he came out looking relaxed, happy and has had the best cut and groom he's ever had.”
“Alex is great, she took the time to make the dogs happy and comfortable before their full groom and clearly explained the different options for grooming so we could make a decision that was best for us and the pups. Both dogs were excited to arrive and see Alex and came out happy and looking gorgeous!”
“The room used for grooming offers a really pleasant and calm environment, it has a feel of a spa, complete with a candle, nice looking and smelling toiletries and soft calming music. Alex is very thorough with her approach to grooming, she really puts the dog at ease first, and then fully concentrates on them, treating both the dog and the owner with utmost respect.”
“Alex listened to everything that I was worried about with willows coat she gave me advice and we agreed on trimming and hand stripping instead of clippers when I collected her I was so happy with how much tidier she looked and was really happy with the results”
“Karma can be a bit nervous in new environments, but Alex was so patient and gentle. She took the time to make sure Karma felt comfortable before starting. She came out looking like a brand-new dog and smelling amazing.”
