About Lucie

Every dog leaves calm,
clean, and happy.

I've been grooming dogs for over 12 years, and I still think of every dog I groom as if it were my own. That means taking the time to make them feel safe, going at their pace, and never rushing the job.

My salon at Elmsfield Industrial Estate is quiet, calm, and designed with nervous dogs in mind. I work with one dog at a time — no waiting cages, no background chaos, just your dog and me.

I specialise in small and medium breeds, and I'm as proud of a tidy trim as I am of a full groom.

Lucie has groomed my two cavapoos every six weeks for years and she is amazing I couldn’t recommend her enough.

Hands down, Lucie and her amazing talents are simply the best! I honestly don’t know what we’d do without her. The care and love she shows my dogs are second to none. My dogs think they are going for a play date every time they go, and come back to me beautifully groomed and so happy every time. Plus the fact she is a beautiful human being, the perfect place, the perfect person, the perfect experience!! What more can I say? We love Lucie and we love Barks and Bubbles!!
Lovely calm, friendly and relaxed surroundings, my dogs are able to walk around freely and aren't kept in a cage, which makes all the difference. My nervous schnauzer really bonded with Lucie who is a fantastic groomer. The shop is also …
