I. The Styling Suite (Essentials)

Wash & Dry – “The Aprùs-Beach Refresh”

Also known as the "I Just Woke Up Like This" Look. Not every dog needs a full makeover, but they all deserve a fresh start—especially after a dip in Killiney Bay! Our signature double bath removes salt, sand, and city grime, followed by a high-velocity blow-dry that leaves their coat light, fluffy, and free of tangles.

Includes:

  • Luxury double-shampoo & conditioning
  • Gentle brush-out for a smooth finish
  • Ear cleaning & nail clipping - the little details that make a big difference

Mini Groom – The Ultimate Glow-Up

Perfect for in-between grooms or pups who love looking polished but effortless. Think of this as a refresh, not a full haircut—just enough to turn heads at the dog park!

  • Luxury spa bath (double shampoo & conditioning)
  • Soothing Facial & Ear Cleanse
  • Blow-dry & fluff-up – volume, darling!
  • Tangle-free brushing & light dematting
  • Pawdicure (Trim, file, and paw pad tidy) & Hygiene tidy (eyes, feet, bottom trim)

Full Groom – “From Ruffled to Regal”

Our PiĂšce de RĂ©sistance. This is the ultimate styling session, tailored to your pup’s bone structure, coat type, personality, and your vision. Every detail is carefully done by hand, with love.

  • Pre-bath brush-out to loosen tangles
  • The "Velvet Coat" Deshedding: Velvet Coat is our Full Groom for dogs with an undercoat (double coat), removing dead undercoats so they shine like glass. Eligibility is assessed by coat type.
  • Luxury double bath & deep conditioning
  • Gentle facial & ear cleanse for a fresh face
  • Fluff-dry by hand & expert brushing - silky smooth or teddy-bear fluffy?
  • Pawdicure: Nails filed smooth & pads trimmed for grip
  • Precision scissoring & styling for a picture-perfect shape
  • Styling based on your preference – elegant, cute, or classic

Express Styling Session – “Flawless in a Flash”

Our signature maintenance ritual. This is the perfect quick-refresh session, designed to keep your pup looking immaculate and feeling comfortable between their full spa days.

  • 10-Minute Revitalising Brush-Out
  • Precision Detailing around the eyes, paws, and hygiene areas
  • Pawdicure Express (expert nail clipping)

II. The Haute Hydro-Wellness Spa đŸ«§

Upgrade any groom with our Professional SPA hydro-bath featuring Ozonisation, Milky SPA Micro-Bubble Technology, Hydromassage/Jacuzzi, and Chromotherapy. This is the "Health" side of luxury.

The "Sea & Sky" Ozone Therapy

Your dog relaxes in our Ozone-Enriched Hydro-Bath. Micro-bubbles create a signature milky spa bath for a deep, gentle cleanse and hydro-massage feel.
Benefits: Deep skin and joint indulgence.
Best for: Senior dogs or highly active dogs.

The "Sensitive Soul" Derma-Repair

Ozone is nature's powerful antibacterial agent—it kills bacteria that causes itching and "wet dog smell" without harsh chemicals.
Benefits: Immediate itch relief and reduced redness.
Best for: Sensitive souls and dogs with skin conditions.

The Coastal Mud Wrap

An indulgent therapeutic treatment using mineral-rich marine mud massaged into the skin, wrapped in warm towels, followed by an Ozone bath rinse.
Benefits: Detoxifies and relieves hot spots.
Best for: Dogs needing intensive skin therapy and coat restoration.

The "Zen Dog" Aromatherapy Float

A multisensory experience utilising lavender and chamomile-infused hydro-bath combined with slow, rhythmic massage.

Best for: Anxious minds and nervous pups.

III. Specialist Coat Care

Hand Stripping – The “Natural Beauty” (Hourly Rate)

An art form! This technique keeps wire-haired coats healthy, vibrant, and true to breed standards. We carefully remove dead hairs by hand, preserving coat texture and natural protection. Includes pre/post bath and full styling.

  • Pre-bath hand stripping for optimal coat maintenance
  • Spa bath & conditioning
  • Hand fluff-dry & brushing – no shortcuts here!
  • Pawdicure (trim & file nails) for that polished touch
  • Post-bath stripping & styling

De-matting – “No More Tangles” Rescue Mission (Priced by Hour)

Mats aren’t just messy—they can be painful for your pup. Our gentle, patient de-matting service includes:

Gentle removal of knots while keeping your dog comfortable and stress-free.
Welfare Time Cap: For your dog’s comfort, we will not de-mat beyond 30 minutes in a single session.

💡 Every coat is different, and we work at your dog’s pace. If de-matting isn't the best option, we will always prioritise humanity over vanity and find a shorter, comfortable solution.

IV. Same Day Micro-Appointments & Finishing Touches

  • The Luxury Pawdicure: Trim, file smooth, and organic paw wax massage.
  • Ear Cleaning: Gentle removal of wax & buildup.
  • Blueberry Bliss Facial: A tear-less, exfoliating scrub to remove tear stains.
  • Anti-Flea Treatment: Soothing flea shampoo removes unwanted guests.
  • Nose/Paw Balm Treatment: Moisture-rich protective layer.
  • Face/Eye Trim: Focused tidy-up for a bright expression.

V. Last Minute Glow-Up

Because Life Happens!

Need a Sparkle, Stat? Introducing Our Last-Minute Glow-up Slots!

Life with a dog is full of surprises—sometimes that means an unexpected photo-op, a sudden holiday getaway, or, let's be honest, a very successful mud-puddle excavation. Whatever the adventure, we know that sometimes you need a professional grooming appointment yesterday.

That's why we reserve one special slot every single day just for those last-minute emergencies. Think of it as your secret grooming superpower!

Don't wait! Please call us immediately to check today's availability. We'll do our absolute best to get your beloved companion looking, feeling, and smelling fresh ASAP.

Welcome your new furry family member to the world of grooming! Designed specifically for puppies, this unique 5-week program offers a stress-free and positive introduction, building confidence and excellent habits from an early age.

The 5-Week Journey

1
The Gentle Welcome

Your puppy will enjoy a relaxed introduction to the salon, focusing on positive socialisation, a gentle comb-out, and a stress-free nail trim. This first step builds trust and familiarity.

2
Face, Feet & Foundations

Building on comfort, we'll continue with socialisation and comb-out, plus gently introduce handling for their delicate face, feet, and sanitary areas – crucial for future grooms.

3
Splash & Confidence

This session incorporates all elements of the previous steps, along with their very first full, warm bath and a gentle, low-stress blow-dry. We make it a fun and refreshing experience, accustoming them to water and dryers.

4
The Full Pamper & Style

Your puppy will receive their first full groom, meticulously tailored to their breed and coat type. This session ensures they become completely comfortable with all aspects of a professional groom. We'll discuss specifics and answer any questions.

5
Ongoing Care & Expert Guidance

This final session is dedicated to empowering you with the knowledge to maintain your puppy's well-being and "puppy fluff" at home. Our expert groomer will provide personalised advice on positive behavior reinforcement, maintaining their coat between grooms, and general health tips.
