Meet Priya
Twelve years of grooming, one van, and a soft spot for the dogs everyone else finds tricky.
Our story
One groomer, one van, one dog at a time
Suds & Scissors started because too many dogs were coming home from the salon stressed. After twelve years of grooming — and a City & Guilds qualification along the way — Priya kitted out a van and took the salon to the doorstep instead. Now she covers Didsbury, Chorlton and the rest of south Manchester, one appointment at a time.
No cages, no queue of barking strangers, no being passed between staff. Your dog gets Priya's full attention from first sniff of the van to the final towel-down — and the anxious ones, the ones who tremble at the word 'groomer', are the ones she's proudest of winning round.
What makes us us
The things we won't compromise on, whatever the coat.
One dog at a time
Your dog is the only dog in the van — no cages, no waiting, no overwhelm.
Patience first
Nervous dogs set the pace; we'd rather take longer than push a dog past what it can cope with.
Properly qualified
City & Guilds trained with twelve years of breeds, coats and characters behind the scissors.
Kind on the coat
We groom for the dog's comfort, not just the photo — no harsh dematting, ever.
Think your dog would suit us?
Especially the shy ones — tell us about them and we'll take it from there.
