Exceptional! As always! Alfie has been going to Julia since a pup and he loves his pamper sessions! Julia always takes great care of him, is attentive to his needs and always lets me know if she is concerned over anything or not. Julia adores working with Dogs, and it really shows in her work. xx

Wow the new salon is wonderful- you have done an amazing job! Having the salon in town is great - so quick and convenient, and of course coffee being so handy is also a bonus.
Thanks again for your patience with our less than co-operative little lady. She looks gorgeous.
