In 2009 we were very fortunate to adopt Betsy our Boston Terrier from Chesterfield RSPCA and shortly after Pippa our Miniature Schnauzer. We took care of all their needs with a passion. When it came to finding a grooming salon for them, we didn’t feel quite so lucky.

We were looking for an inviting, clean, modern salon where the groomers were qualified to a high standard and somewhere we felt very comfortable leaving our dogs. We were looking for a first-class grooming salon where the safety and well-being of dogs were important but even second class was proving difficult.

We realised at that time, that there was a need for something special, so we decided to create just that ourselves. Through hard work and dedication and years of working on our skills and training from our home-based salon and coming runner up in the prestigious Grooming salon of the Year Awards in 2012, we opened our purposed designed luxury spa salon and shop in October 2013. One year later we wanted to ensure that future groomers were working to the same high standards. So we became a Professional Dog Grooming Training Centre, delivering City & Guilds and Open Colledge Network qualifications, in association with Heavenlyz Training Services.

In 2016 we became part of the few elite grooming salons to be awarded the Grooming Gold Standard by SAI Global Independent Auditors.

In August 2016 we were excited to be contacted by a Chanel 5 TV producer to discuss our taking part in the shows versus challenge with presenters Ortis & Amy. The show aired on the 28th of October 2016.
