Meet Ellie
A lifelong love of dogs, held in every quiet moment of the groom.
Ellie founded Top Knots & Tails to offer something Grantham didn't have — a salon where dogs are the only guest in the room. No queues, no cages, no noise. Just careful, patient hands and time to do things properly.
With years of professional experience and an eye for breed-specific styling, Ellie treats every visit as a one-to-one appointment. Nervous dogs are met with patience. Puppies with reassurance. Regulars with a familiar hello.
It's grooming as it should be — considered, calm and quietly luxurious.

Good to know
Answers to the questions we hear most.
Can't see what you're looking for? Ellie is always happy to chat — no question is too small.
Because we work one-to-one, a full groom typically takes between two and three hours. This gives us time to bathe, dry and style your dog without rushing.
Absolutely. We offer a dedicated puppy introduction visit — a short, gentle session designed to build trust and make future appointments a happy experience.
Yes. Our calm, single-dog environment is ideal for nervous, elderly or first-time dogs. We move at their pace, always.
Most coats benefit from a full groom every 6–8 weeks, with a bath and tidy in between. We'll happily advise a routine that suits your breed and lifestyle.
