We'd been thinking about opening a salon for a long time. It never felt right, until we moved to Hackney.
A few days in, we walked past a shop being boarded up for renovation. There was a dog sitting in the window, looking straight at us. That was it.
We opened Hackney Barkers in 2021. We've been here every day since.
We live in the area. We've watched puppies grow up. Some of our clients have become friends, the kind you stop and talk to for twenty minutes when you bump into them on the street.
There's a strong community of dog walkers, trainers, and small businesses around us, and we all look out for each other. Hackney has that effect on people.
You come for the grooming and end up feeling like part of something.

We personalise every appointment to suit your dog’s unique needs, whether that’s their coat type, temperament, or simply how they like to be handled.
In our calm, one-to-one setting, dogs of all sizes and backgrounds are given the time, space, and care they need to feel at ease and enjoy a positive experience.




We source our grooming products from independent UK brands that share our values. Everything we use is natural, cruelty-free, and vegan, chosen for its quality and its ability to support your dog's skin, coat, and overall health.


We know how important it is to feel confident in where and how your dog is groomed. That's why we invite you to visit our grooming space and see it for yourself. Transparency matters to us and we want you to feel at ease with every step of the process.
HEY!
