You Qualified As A Groomer. Now Get Set Up For Clients.
Your training helped you become a groomer. Tailworks helps you get found online, take bookings, collect deposits and look professional from day one.
For Newly Qualified Groomers Starting Their Business
If you have recently qualified, you do not need to figure out websites, booking tools, deposits, reminders and Google setup on your own.
Watch the short introduction
A simple overview of how Tailworks helps graduates get ready for clients.
The First Few Weeks After Qualifying Can Feel Overwhelming
You have the grooming skill. Now comes the part where you need enquiries, bookings, deposits, reminders, Google visibility and a way to manage clients without everything feeling messy.
No Professional Website
Potential clients need somewhere clear and trustworthy to see your services, prices and booking information.
No Online Booking System
Without a booking process, enquiries can quickly turn into back-and-forth messages and missed appointments.
No Deposits
When clients can book without commitment, no-shows and last-minute cancellations become much harder to control.
No Google Visibility
If people nearby cannot find you when they search, they are more likely to book with someone who already looks established.
No Clear System
Messages, bookings, policies and reminders can end up scattered across Facebook, WhatsApp, notes and memory.
This is not about doing more. It is about starting with the right system, so your grooming business feels calmer, clearer and more professional from day one.
Everything You Need To Start Professionally
Instead of trying to piece together websites, booking tools, deposits, reminders and Google setup yourself, Tailworks brings everything together into one simple system.
Professional Website
Give clients a professional place to learn about your services, view prices and book appointments.
Online Bookings
Let clients book appointments online without endless messages and diary confusion.
Deposits & Protection
Reduce no-shows and last-minute cancellations with a professional booking process.
Automated Reminders
Help clients remember appointments without manually chasing everyone yourself.
Google Business Setup
Give local dog owners a way to find you when searching for a groomer nearby.
Ongoing Support
You're not left on your own after launch. Tailworks continues supporting your business as you grow.
The Goal Isn't More Technology.
The goal is a calmer, more professional business that helps you focus on grooming dogs while the systems handle the admin around you.

A Simpler Way To Get Set Up After Training

It gives eligible graduates access to the same Tailworks system, with a reduced setup fee to make starting professionally more achievable.

This Is What You Were Working Towards.
You did not qualify just to spend your evenings chasing bookings, replying to messages and worrying about your website. You qualified because you wanted to spend your days doing work you genuinely enjoy.
- Clients finding you through Google
- Online bookings arriving while you groom
- Fewer repetitive messages and admin
- A business you feel proud to show people
What Does Tailworks Need To Be Worth To Your Business?
Your first month live is included in your Business Launch Setup. After that, your Calm Business System™ is £149/month — about £34/week — to keep your website, booking system and client journey managed and running.
A simple way to look at the monthly cost.
Tailworks does not guarantee additional bookings. But at an illustrative average groom price of £55, around 3 additional or protected appointments across a month would equal the £149 monthly subscription.
Get Found
A professional website and Google presence help prospective customers discover your business and understand what you offer.
Get Booked
Online booking gives customers a clear route to choose a service and request an appointment without endless message ping-pong.
Protect Bookings
Deposits, cancellation rules and automated reminders help reduce avoidable booking leakage and improve the customer journey.
More Than Just Booking Software
The £149/month does not just pay for a booking calendar. It keeps your website, booking system, deposits, reminders, hosting, simple updates and ongoing Tailworks support managed together.
This is an illustration of cost equivalence, not a guarantee of bookings, revenue or business performance. Actual appointment values and results vary between grooming businesses.

After qualification, most groomers face the same decision. Figure everything out alone or start with a system already built for you.
Do Everything Yourself
Start With Tailworks
Spend Your Time Grooming Dogs.
You qualified to groom dogs. Not spend nights watching tutorials, comparing software and trying to connect different systems together. Tailworks gives you the business infrastructure around your grooming skills so you can start looking professional from day one.
Questions Before You Apply?
If you are newly qualified or close to launching your grooming business, these are the main things you need to know.
Is this only for graduates?
The reduced setup price is designed for newly qualified groomers, student groomers and recent graduates. If you are already trading, you may still be a fit, but the graduate offer is mainly for groomers starting out.
What do I pay upfront?
Eligible Graduate Programme clients pay a £599 one-time Business Launch Setup. This covers building and preparing your Tailworks system, and your first month after launch is included. Your £149/month subscription begins one month after your Tailworks system goes live.
What does the £149/month include?
The £149/month keeps your Calm Business System™ managed for you. It includes your professional grooming website, online booking system, deposits and booking journey, automated reminders, hosting, simple website updates, review and rebooking infrastructure, and ongoing Tailworks support.
Do I need to be good with technology?
No. That is the point. Tailworks is built for groomers who want the business system handled for them without learning website builders, plugins, booking software or complicated tech.
Do I need my own domain?
No. You can start with a professional Tailworks subdomain, which keeps the setup simple. If you want your own domain later, we can discuss the best route once your business is ready.
What if I already use Facebook or Instagram?
That is fine. Social media can help people discover you, but it should not be your entire booking system. Tailworks gives clients a proper place to find you, book with you and trust you.
Can Tailworks help reduce no-shows?
Yes. Tailworks helps you use deposits, clearer booking steps, automated reminders and better client communication. No system can remove every no-show, but this gives you a much stronger setup than relying on messages alone.
What happens after I apply?
We review your application, check whether Tailworks is a good fit for your stage of business, then explain the next steps. If approved, we collect your business details and start setting up your system.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Tailworks is designed to be simple and flexible. The exact cancellation terms will be explained before you join so there are no surprises.
How quickly can I get started?
Once approved and once we have your business details, we can begin your setup. The fastest setups happen when you already know your services, prices, opening hours and basic business details.
I Built Tailworks Because I Saw A Gap.
After spending 13 years working in aerospace, I knew I wanted to build something of my own.
While researching different industries, I discovered independent dog grooming and noticed the same problem appearing again and again.
People were leaving training with the skills to groom dogs, but almost no guidance on building the business around those skills.
Websites. Deposits. Google. Booking systems. Reminders. Branding. It was a lot to figure out alone.
Tailworks was created to make starting a grooming business feel calmer, simpler and more professional from day one.
“Will this genuinely make life easier for independent dog groomers?”
