Meet The Team
Sally James
Owner
I started Sallywags from home in 2007. With the help and support of my family, Sallywags salon was opened in Northwood in August 2009. My passion was to grow the business so that every dog still felt like it was coming into my home. This has given us over 2,000 wonderful dogs to groom. We are very much a family business and the Sallywags staff and the dogs that come to us are welcomed into it with open arms. I have 3 dogs of my own who I absolutely adore. A standard Poodle called Mabel and two delightful Parti poodles, Zorro and Peggi.
Jane Antony

Jane joined sallywags in January of 2023 as our new groomer after working in a busy salon in central London. Jane completed her Level 3 Dog Grooming C&G qualification in June 2022 and has already shown what an asset she is to the Sallywags team. Jane has a love for dogs and has her own Chihuahua called Daisy who is 7 years old. Janes favourite breed of dog to groom is a Poodle.

Emma Wishart
