About Us
Barkin Beautiful | Prioritising your dog’s
wellbeing while making them look &
feel their best.
Prioritising wellbeing on every groom.
Since Day One, our founder and director, Lauren, wanted Barkin Beautiful to make a meaningful difference in the lives of her clients. She knew that while dog grooming was inherently about the appearance of dogs, it also played an enormous role in the long term mental and physical wellbeing of dogs , too.
Your dog’s fur is much like human hair: it responds badly to stress and anxiety, but can flourish when well looked after. This was an insight earned over twenty years of experience as a dog groomer, and Lauren was determined to make it count.
It’s for this reason that at Barkin Beautiful, our groomers not only pride themselves on the exceptional appearance of their grooms, but your dog’s positive experience, too. For us, an amazing groom is expected; but a safe and comfortable experience is the minimum for our client’s pups.
Building a family-like business for sustainable results.
Since Day One, founder and director Lauren has believed that truly exceptional grooms require working together with a team that you can trust.
It’s for this reason that Lauren has hand-picked her team of trusted and experienced groomers based on their skillset, their compassionf or dogs under their care, and their honesty.
She believes that building a team this way, rather than simply hiring on a whim, leads to better grooms, a more comforatble environment for our client’s dogs, and a family-like team she can trust.
Megan (pictured left) has worked alongside Lauren for the entirety of Barkin Beautiful’s existence as lead dog groomer. Apart from consistently providing outstanding grooms, Megan is a shining example that a carefully picked and loyal team really can work like a family at Barkin Beautiful.
Why Choose Us
Prioritising your dog’s long term health with every groom.
Proper dog grooming produces benefits that go far deeper than just making your dog look cute and tidy. When properly administered, a grooming service can improve the longevity, sheen, and natural health of your dog’s fur coat. This means less irritation to their skin, unhealthy shedding, and more resistance to pests. At Barkin Beautiful we believe this translates directly into an improved quality of life for your dog, and we feel privileged to have this responsibility.
Building a better community.
It might sound like a lofty goal to some, but Lauren’s goal was always to build a business like a family to bring together the dogs of Capalaba’s local community, for a safer community.
It’s for this reason that Lauren started dog training at her salon during the weekends, to foster a healthy environment for dogs to stay clean, learn and mature, and carry these good behaviours back to the community we call home!
