The Story of Snip&Clips by Ellen

Hi, I’m Ellen, the face (and hands ✂️🐶) behind Snips & Clips by Ellen 🐾✨

I’ve been completely animal-obsessed for as long as I can remember 🐶🐱🐰 Growing up, I was lucky enough to be surrounded by animals — from Newfoundlands and German Shepherds to Cockapoos, as well as horses, guinea pigs, rabbits and fish🐕‍🦺🐴🐹

Currently “pet mum” to 2 horses and a cockapoo who thinks she’s a princess🤣.. aswell as 9 chickens🙃 That love for animals has always been a huge part of who I am, so turning it into my own grooming business honestly feels like a dream come true 🥰💕

I completed  an online “dog grooming diploma” (a CPD certificate) which I passed with a distinction. Then, for my training I spent 7 months working with a friend in Dumfries.

I started my business in Newton Stewart as there was an ideal premises available and I like the fact that it keeps my roots local. With plenty of friendly faces and the , flexibility it gives me for my little family.

My logo is actually cartoon characters of my current dog, Lola – the princess cockapoo✨🤣 And my heart dog – our blue German Shepherd, Oscar who we lost a good few years ago now. 🪽🩵

My gorgeous 2 (3 next month..brb crying😭) year old little boy, Luca, is also animal obsessed so it’s definitely rubbed off. If he had his way tho.. there would be more puppies, more horses, a rhino in the field and a whale in the pond😂 He no doubt will make numerous appearances within the salon.

Thank you so much to everyone who’s supported me so far — it honestly means the world 🌍💕. I can’t wait to meet you and your gorgeous dogs very soon.
