FIDO SASSOONS PHAPOS CYPRUS
 

Fido Sassoon's of Paphos is situated in Yeriskipou a small village 2 km from central Paphos.

The salon is infact inside a pet shop named PET STOP.
My business has been running mobile for 9 months now and have been very busy (thanks to the training Nichola gave me).  While it is still a warmer climate from the UK it does tend to get cold here in the evenings.  I received a call from the owner of Pet Stop who was moving to a bigger premises but did not need all the space and offered me part share of the shop which after consideration thought it might be a good idea with the winter months and rain (hopefully) coming people do not want there dogs done inside there home.  We have been open from 19th September 2008 so early days yet but I work both mobile & salon at the moment.
Salon is open 8.00am to 2.00pm mon to Fri.  Mobile is afternoons now the weather has started to cool.  We also offer late night appointments as most of the work force over here seem to work until 7-8 pm  This does work.  On the days I have late night appointments I try not to work in the afternoons.  This is my choice as moving to Cyprus was for a better quality of life which we have but I am not going to work myself to death.
Although it seems that I am making lots of money the fact is in Cyprus if people have to pay £35-45 Euro they still moan and these prices are for a full groom.
My advice to anyone starting a business is to get the best training (I did) and believe in yourself. JAYNE

To Nichola and all at Smartpetz International School of Dog Grooming
Just a brief note to let you know how much i appreciated my training course at Smartpetz, although I had some concerns about "going back to School"  those worries were quickly brushed aside by your very friendly and supportive approach.  I found the whole course extremely useful particularly the emphasis placed on practical experience across a wide range of breeds.  It was also really helpful to be able to purchase everything i needed to kit out my entire salon at very competitive prices. 
With your support and encouragement I have successfully completed The Diploma in Dog Grooming which has given me the confidence to start my own salon, Moira Dog Grooming. 
Thank you once again

ASHVILLE BARK
 
Having made the decision to train as a dog groomer I searched for training schools in Northern Ireland.  After discussing my options with Nichola Moore at Smart Pets I booked my 2 week intensive course at her Bangor salon.
I found Nichola to be highly knowledgeable about all things canine, including grooming procedures and business ownership.  She led me through every process of bathing, brushing and clipping, along with use of thinning and straight scissors.  I had her undivided attention and an extensive range of dog breeds to train on.
The training included Salon Health & Safety and Canine First Aid.  I also learnt how to handle dogs, large and small, with confidence.
Nichola was also able to advise on and supply all of the equipment I would need to make my business start-up go smoothly.
Along with home study and the hands on experience I felt confident to start the business I had dreamed of.
Thanks to all at Smart Pets.
