I was always so nervous about finding a great affordable groomer when I adopted Phoebe. I'm so happy we found Tara, and referred by another long time client. Phoebe has been coming to Tara since she was a puppy for almost 2 years. We are on a 5-6 week schedule. I've never taken Phoebe to anyone else and I probably never will. One thing I notice about Phoebe is that she loves coming to Grooming Day Salon. She doesn't try to runaway lol so that's a great sign! Overall happy with Phoebe's haircuts. Whatever shampoo and perfume Tara uses on Phoebe smells soooooo good. I love that Tara keeps track of each client. She keeps notes on Phoebe's haircuts. At each drop off, she asks to do "same as last time" which makes it so easy. No need to over explain. Any special requests, I just ask or let her know. Easy as that. Pickup is just as easy. You are in and out. Make sure to close the gate behind you. I really appreciate the occasional photo updates and the festive bows or bandanas during any special holidays. It's the little things that count. Thank you so much Tara! read more

It was my pup's, Toffee, first time going to the groomers and as a first time dog owner I am not well-versed with anything related to grooming. I told Tara that I'd like for him to get a trim and his nails trimmed and she provided me with her personal recommendation and what she would do. Since my pup is shy around new people and dogs and can be difficult when touching around his face and paws, I was nervous but trusted in the process, and I'm glad I did! Thank you Tara for providing my Toffee with his adorable bandana and fresh look! Also, the price for was very affordable and appropriate for what was provided. read more

I'd leave 0 stars if I could! I took in my schnauzer for a bath and haircut & just hours after getting home, I could tell he was very uncomfortable and in pain! I started checking him and immediately saw they had hurt him in all his private areas I called at least 20 times before the owner TARA actually picked up. When I asked what happened to him and sent pictures of what I was seeing, I was told they had no clue and all they could do was provide a cooling gel. They also said he could have hurt himself some other way when clearly it was major cuts and burns all over his private parts and his tail. She didn't even apologize for hurting my dog or admitted to being at fault. I will never take him here again. It took several days of applying an antibiotic ointment his vet recommended before he was no longer in pain & redness/inflammation went away! Sadly he now has a scar on his tail for life & is traumatized due to the horrible treatment at your THIS LOCATION! If you're concerned about your dog's well-being, please consider taking him eles where . There are numerous excellent options available in the Bellflower area. I also noticed that there was a man working there wearing a TRUMP shirt, which is odd considering that the location is in a very Latino-populated community. That should give you an idea of the kind of people they are. read more

They had obviously overbooked because we had a 9am dental appointment for our dog and they still hadn't taken him in at 10am - no apologies - a stressful situation for our dog in a fenced off area with other dogs - reception area tiny... The whole ordeal turned me off going back.. read more

I've been taking my dog to Tara for over 10 years. We are so grateful to have found a talented and excellent groomer. Tara knows exactly what she is doing and she truly loves what she does. We are blessed to know that our dog is in great hands. I trust her so much that I recommend her for all the pet services she provides. I call her "the dog whisperer." If you need a professional and skilled groomer, I highly recommend Tara! read more

I am so incredibly happy with how everything turned out!! Initially I went to a different grooming place, and luckily Tara was able to fix everything!!!My puppy Happy came out so perfect, and Tara really listened to what we requested for!! She was so sweet and so patient with her. I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you for your incredible attention to detail, and taking the time to do an outstanding job! read more

i'm very disappointed with the attitude and energy of the owner , it was my first time coming into this groomer and right off the bat tara was not welcoming or friendly at least. she was very cold and nonchalant...I didn't even let my baby stay at this place to get groomed because how uncomfortable she made me feel! i'm not sure if she was having a bad day or what but I do not recommend this place at all. read more

I had been taking my pup to Tara for 5+ years. Her work is good. Her attitude is horrible and I had been brushing it under the rug because I liked her work. She has no manners. Doesn't even bother to say "Hello, Good Morning, Welcome, Thank you" etc. Doesn't even crack a smile. The ONLY time she's nice is when it's time to collect payment.. OF COURSE. She never wears a face mask either. I brought my pup back in because she didn't trim a nail and it had grown into her skin. I went in and tried explaining/ showing her my pup's paw and she just grabbed my pup and walked away and left me speaking to myself. That was the last straw for me. 5+ years of giving poor customer service and ugly attitude to myself, my mom and my husband.. that was enough. She was a little more humble when she was working from her house. Again her work is good, but her attitude.. dear lord. I take my puppies to Wag Your Tail in Lakewood now. Wonderful people, check them out! They have great reviews read more

I really wanted to like this place, we've given Tara two chances. Like most people have said, her customer service just flat out sucks. First time- maybe she's just a dog person?! Our Goldendoodle came out looking good, we mentioned that he has a little ear we like to keep long and long eyelashes we LOVE...he was small at the time and she did the fluffy ears, which wasn't what we asked for but oh well. Second time, same crappy customer service, we again mentioned our dogs ears and lashes, but she didn't listen and cut his ear hair short, and chopped off his eyelashes. She texted me when he was ready and the rate was double what we paid for the last time, no explanation, just "nope" when I asked if the rates have changed. I picked him up and she said he would be a bit itchy in his ears from the cleaning up, what she didn't tell me was that she razor burned his bottom side, SO bad that he couldn't sit down!! We contacted the vet and we were given a remedy for him, but he was in pain for at least a week. Do your research, look around. We have now found a mobile groomer that we truly love and trust. read more

Very rude, had my sister take my dog here and I was displeased, After seeing all her reviews I can see why, After seeing the way she responds to reviews with foul attitude its clear! This "business owner" lacks humility and accountability!!!! Don't take your dog to here! Clearly she will take no accountability if she does something wrong! save yourself the headache and disappointment. You will probably do a better job yourself. read more

I cannot believe I am sitting here typing this review and giving Tara 1 star because my dogs have gone to her for over 6 years now. I used to go to Tara since she groomed outside of her backyard and followed her when she opened her own shop. She has always done a great job and while she isn't the friendliest person, I always appreciated her professionalism and the fact that she was amazing at her craft. My dogs (I have two) went in for their grooming appointment at noon yesterday. When I walked in, she seemed like she wasn't having the greatest day and hey, we're all human so I let it go. Even if you are having a bad day, I figured she would treat my dogs the same way she has for the past few years. She was a bit rough in taking my male dog's leash off but I did not think anything serious about it. I went home and waited for her to text me that the dogs were finished with their grooming. She texted me and told me when I got there that she cut my male dog near his armpit. I had seen very small and minor cuts from grooming on my dogs before and I am usually very understanding about these things because sometimes, this can't be avoided. However, I got home and my husband and I started freaking out because we saw small drops of blood all over our kitchen floor. I texted Tara to tell her that it wasn't just a "small cut" and that Leo was bleeding. I also took pictures of the paper towels we used and the bleeding that happened on the kitchen floor. She texted me back telling me that he needs to "lay down and relax" so the bleeding would stop. How can you tell a dog to just "lay down and relax"? We tried to gauze it up and he kept bleeding through it so we took Leo to the urgent care vet. After a huge vet bill and my dog receiving stitches (the vet says the wound was really deep) for this "small cut" along with my dog still not feeling well 24 hours after this whole ordeal, I am really upset that while we remained loyal to her services, she couldn't even apologize or try to make things right. I texted her after the vet visit and told her that he ended up needing stitches and that it wasn't just a small cut and she didn't even bother to respond. I don't expect amazing customer service from going to her for many years. After all, I went for her skills and how she treated my dogs and didn't care whether she was a breath of fresh air or sunshine on a cloudy day towards me. However, I would think after going to her for over 6+ years that she would at least be apologetic that Leo is going through all this due to her carelessness. She probably has a lot of customers and doesn't care, but she lost someone that would've been a life long customer. read more

I'm disgusted with the service received by this so called "groomer" I took my maltipoo in today and specifically told her I would like to keep the length on her body so just do a light trim I pick up my dog and she shaved her. Tara's excuse was that she was matted, My dog was NOT matted!! it was just an easy way to finish with her she did not even bother to notify me she just went ahead and shaved her!! I text her after I paid her telling her i was disappointed and said what a way to mess my dog up right before Christmas her response, YOUR WELCOME! It's just one of those lessons learned avoid yourself the headache of giving your money to an asshole it's obvious she has no work ethic! read more

I truly believe Tara does an amazing job with animals. I've brought my dog 4-5 times and only had a *minorrr* issue (puffy ears, which I'm not really a fan of, but it's her artistic vision, and though I respect that, I specified each time after that that was too much for me, lol). Other than that, my pup came out looking adorable. He's an older rescue, so for me, pampering him is my priority. Her prices are also great, she uses quality fur color, her IG is also full of good-looking dogs, and she sends pups home with a bandana/bow each time. That's a nice touch! Having said all that, I was taken aback by her overall demeanor. I guess I imagined groomers to be overly warm to the customers and gushy to the dogs. Each visit felt like an inconvenience, or like I didn't know what I was doing; she would take my dog without really taking the time to talk to me or understand what type of cut I wanted. I had to kind of force it out before she rushed to the back. On top of that, I didn't always get a clear estimate of how long the appointment would be. Maybe all of that wasn't her intention, so I wish her the best and hope others have a better experience! P.S. On Valentine's Day, she sent home my pup with treats. Just another testament to how much she cares about the animals! read more

Grooming Day Salon - Lemmy takes his grooming seriously - Pet Groomers Near Me - Bellflower, California

Not sure why this place has so many good reviews. If you're thinking about coming here, seriously reconsider, they don't care about their customers, much less the animals. I would NEVER trust my dog to be left in their care. Customer service was so bad. Upon walking in, she was grooming a small dog that looked similar to a Shih Tzu and when my dad commented to her how cute it was and that we used to have one, she rudely said that she didn't know what breed the dog was or cared. Went in for the self service dog wash, had called ahead and she failed to mention that she had no hot water. One of the biggest reasons we wanted to go to a self service dog wash is for the hot water, especially since it was a very cold day. She barely greeted us when entering and paying/leaving. We felt like an inconvenience for even being there, I would never ever come back here for that alone. Handle in the shower broke off when I touched it lightly. Dryer didn't have any warm to cool settings, which took twice as long to dry our German Shepherd and even then, we left with him wet and hurried home to finish with our own blow dryer. She also didn't accept card, only Venmo or cash, which seemed strange to me as well. read more

Great service. She was quick! I loved it. Didn't even know she was in our neighborhood. Thank you.

I've been taking my dogs to see Tara for a while now but I can't be anymore pleased with the fact that her new shop is less than a mile from me. I have been taking my dogs regularly once a month for baths and cuts and Tara and her new space is fabulous. My husband and I also did the self serve bath... it was more like my dogs gave me a bath but Tara has a wonderful set up and supplies you with everything you need. It's a great alternative when you need them to get a bath in a pinch. Tara has taken many precautions in the set up of her space. There are multiple areas for different dogs to wait and I LOVE that my dogs aren't kept in a kennel. I especially am great cup for the custom gate she has when you walk in the door. My dogs already like little Houdini's one of them knows how to climb gates so knowing that she has a heavy dusty custom gate at the door is a huge relief! She also offers dog day care. I had a funeral one day and hosted a lunch after at my house. I didn't really want my dogs around because they beg for food (as if I didn't feed them). I arranged with Tara to have them stay with her at her shop and it worked out great! I recommend her to everyone i know who has dogs be cause she is great! read more

This lady is very nice and dedicated to her job. She used to cut 6 of my dogs up. 5 Maltese and 1 really hyper golden retriever.

All I can tell you is that her love for dogs can be seen in the details. She is the most caring and nicest dog groomer I have ever met. I am not going anywhere else. Also, I have never felt that my service was too cheap. She provides such a fantastic job for your dog that I would pay twice the amount she is charging without thinking twice. If you love dogs, help support this business. Outstanding by every measure. read more

Tara was very kind and quick to respond to my request to make appointments for our two little ones. Tara is very soft spoken but she definitely knows what she is doing. Being able to run her business from her back yard is so admirable and impressive for the quality of work she provides. I was a little nervous leaving my pups only because one is not great with meeting new people or dogs. However, I don't know how he was so well behaved with Tara and the other dogs around but it was amazing to see. I'm so glad we took our pups here and they came out looking amazing. Thank you Tara!! For those interested I took my two medium sized pups to get a summer cut for $35each. Also, I am a real first time customer who is super picky so I am happy to say that I enjoyed my experience with Tara and her salon. They were treated well and there are no signs of any cuts on their skin and returned to me happy. read more

My Cashy had a traumatic first grooming experience @ Petsmart, causing him to become super frightened, uncomfortable, & jumpy for 2-3 after. I felt horrible! I began to search online for a groomer w/ GREAT (not just "good") reviews; who would use gentle & loving hands on my pup, & treat him like their own. Grooming Day Salon DID JUST THAT! Cash had negative behavior afterwards, he was super clean & happy, & he loved playing w/ the other doggies, cage-free! :) We will definitely be coming back! read more

I've been bringing my dog, Marley, to Tara since September 2016. I had been looking for a new groomer because the old one used cages and and he would come home itchy which lasted for a few days and would make him bleed from his scratching. When I saw that Tara didn't believe in cages and it was like a day care/grooming facility, I was intrigued. I found a picture from yelp and showed her the type of cut I wanted. The drive was about 20 - 25 minutes, but I immediately saw the difference in Marley's demeanor when he was picked up. He was happy and playful as if I was picking him up from a play date. I have been going back ever since. It worked out for us when Tara moved her business since it is much closer to me. I was really surprised that she was only increasing Marley's grooming an additional $5. Because of this, I always try to make sure to tip her since her service is worth every penny. I go every 2 months religiously, and Marley always gets excited when we are in the car and he realizes where we are going. She responds very quickly to all communication via text which is important to me. She also accommodates (when possible) when I try to make an appointment with short notice due to a shift in my schedule. There are a lot of groomers out there, but I feel that Marley has found one that not only grooms him, but also shows him the special attention he needs to feel comfortable and happy when he is there. To me, that is very important. Marley actually has an appointment today and I am so excited to see him turn into my fuzzy wuzzy booboo. read more

She's worth all five stars, I swear. My dog Apollo is almost completely blind and not at all aggressive. I took him to Petsmart where a clueless groomer scared him and then refused to groom him, calling me back to say he probably needed to be sedated to be groomed; he's barely 12 pounds and literally licks every stranger he sees! Tara was my last hope because I really didn't want to drug my dog, but I was still really anxious because of his previous experience. When I arrived, she was cordial and didn't look at me like I was crazy even though I probably looked insanely nervous as I explained the blind situation. She gave me a price and expected time it would take so I left my dog as slowly as possible. When she texted to say Apollo was ready she kindly let me know that he did great :') I went to pick him up, and I kid you not, I didn't recognize him. He looked clean and his hair was cut neatly, but I especially noticed that he didn't seem at all stressed. I took him on vacation soon after and he got a lot of compliments. Long story longer, Tara is great at her job, my dog never looked so cute, and I have and will be back again. read more

Tara was such a pleasure to work with. This was our puppy Bishops (7 months old) first time being groomed ever. He is a very nervous/skittish dog to begin with especially when it comes to loud sounds. Tara (owner/groomer) was so sweet I found her via YELP a week prior and left her a voicemail, she quickly responded via text. (Text messaging is her way of communicating with customers, which I think is awesome.) We set up an appointment for the next weekend. Tara has a very mellow personality and is very attention oriented when it comes to your pets and their needs. You can tell that she loves what she does. Her prices are outstanding!!! We came on a Saturday 5/14, you would tell that she had her hands full and was very busy, but that she enjoyed every minute of it. I am so happy I came here for my pups first grooming experience even thought it was a further drive then Pet-Co or PetSmart. EKK, it was well worth it. He doesn't seem modified at all and seems very content and smell so good! I would recommend Tara to anyone, very sweet person and she has a awesome little grooming shop set up in her garage. Very professional and friendly. SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESS!!! read more

STEER CLEAR AWAY FROM THIS GROOMER!!! So I decided to give this pet groomer a shot because of my lack of time to personally shower and cut my dogs hair which I always do but I was forced to take them to this groomer who was fast to respond like others said because of my work schedule...What I should've did before was read the reviews because as one noted it's true after I picked my dogs up ( like the other person commented ) my dogs to were not acting the same to begin with both had clipper very bad clipper burns on their belly's on their legs so bad as my dog wouldn't stop consistently licking everywhere he was cut, one has a swollen eye now day after and has no hair around the eye as if they messed up, and both were acting very different as far as running every couple steps for no reason in a scared like manner, also wanting me to hold them while I'm sitting down or standing up and shaking traumatically all these signs are cases of miss treatment of some sort you can look it up yourself.save yourself I would not recommend this groomer save your fur kids a traumatizing experience And to update my review it's true she does not ask for vaccination records so you have no idea who's dogs are vaccinated Took my dog to the vet and they stated that the groomer had burners him and his private also that the environment he was in traumatized so that's the reason for his odd behavior PLEASE SAVE YOUR DOGS FROM COMING HERE!! All the other reviews like people are saying are just fake to boost for her business in which she does not care for the dogs I will be going further into this problem to see to it that she changes her act read more

Located in a very nice shopping center, first time there, had to look & drive around to find the salon. As you drive up to the salon, very nice & clean outside. Once you walk in, so nicely accented & the paint and layout of the place will get your attention. There are no boarding cages around, the dogs roam inside a fenced area in the waiting/lobby area of entrance. The prices are reasonable & the grooming is superb. The host & groomer Tara Day, has great grooming skills read more

After reading all Yelp reviews both for this groomer and others I decided to call Grooming Day Salon. I texted and received a very quick response to all my questions and concerns. I had taken my furry family member to another big chain groomers in the past and was disappointed to say the least. I am thrilled to say that I made the right decision to bring my furry family member to Grooming Day Salon. I will be back! Tara was wonderful with him and he seemed to enjoy himself there. Well I did go back ... but I have to add /change my post "I'll NEVER go back'. It seemed I had taken him to a completely different place . The cut , the fresh smell of shampoo on his fur .. it was like he had not gone to the groomers. When we got him he was cowering all day. My dog doesn't not do that . That behavior shows me something my have happened. I WILL NOT take a chance like that again. read more
