Our Logo is based upon the heart of our business and why we set up the salon - the love of our own dogs. We only wanted the best for our dogs which is what motivated us to set up a salon which was as good as a hairdressers in standard and quality but for our canine companions!
Featured in our Logo are our dogs back in 2004 when we started the business; "Molly, Buddy, Santa & Bess"
