I have been taking both of my long haired dogs here for several years & Brent always does a great job with my dogs! The shop is always clean, I make an appt prior to bringing them in, & then on groom day I drop them off & usually 3 1/2hrs later he texts me when to pick up. Easy process for nice clean fluffy dogs! I absolutely recommend Brent to anyone that asks where I get my boys groomed. read more

Arrow always comes home looking and smelling great. She's comfortable at the spa, which hasn't. Earn the case another groomers.

They don't answer the phone nor are you allowed to come in if you don't have a appointment including no one at the front to talk to. Not sure what kind of business model it is to try and exclude future business... read more

I have been taking my two dogs here for a few years. I never liked how the shop smelled and was afraid my dogs would catch something but I took them for the convenience of location. I stopped taking my dogs about 2 years ago when my little westie started bleeding, there was blood all over my patio for a few days. He cut her nail too short and didn't bother to tell me when I picked her up. I took my dog to him today, thought after time passed I would try again. I had 10 am appointment and I mistakenly arrived at one to pick westie up. The guy wasn't very friendly and said"i told you 1pm". It was 1:10 so I decided to wait in my car. It was very hot today and ni shade. At 125 I went into his shop to wait. The guy was pissed off and said "I told you 140" he didn't want me waiting in his shop even when I told him by the time I got home it would be time to return for dog. He was so rude. Ny elderly dog who has pain issues had been in his shop since 10 am. I just said give me my dog. He was all to happy to give me my dog and charge full price. I paid because I knew I wouldn't be going back. If I could give him a zero rate I would. My counter response: Your replies to customer reviews shows your lack of professionalism as a business owner compared to other businesses that understand the value of customer service. People such as myself are giving you feedback and in turn you lied in your response, you accuse others of being rude, sad, or mean. read more

Happy dog came home with a great haircut for summer. Was able to accommodate same day appt. Great small local spot to support, definitely recommend. read more

I have a 13 year old Golden Retriever and Shepard mix who has had many surgeries as he has gotten older so I am always super careful about selecting a groomer who will be gentle. Because of how high the temps get in Summer, I shave my dog during the summer months, to help him stay cool. I would not trust anyone with my dog other than Brent. Besides him doing a GREAT job and my dog's cut and nails looking AMAZING, my dog's demeanor when he is walking out of the spa says it all...he always comes out of Hairy's Pet Spa looking like he was well treated, happy and calm. I can't thank Brent enough for being someone whom I can trust with my older dog. 5 stars all around, without a doubt, from scheduling to quality of service !! read more

I had an appointment to have my dog groomed today. When I arrived I explained that I have been very ill , home on disability for almost a year and I haven't been able to keep up with my dogs grooming needs recently. I have a terrier whose hair continues to grow and he needs to be shaved down to the skin a couple times a year They refused to see my dog Obviously it was going to be too much work for them today. I came home and did it myself- even though I'm very sick . Thanks for the help read more

Consumer beware: 1. He will give your dog the cut he thinks looks great & will ignore your request. 2. The posted price range of $40-55 does not include the "price varies..." disclaimer. What that means is he will charge more than that depending on if, for example, your dog is frightened & whines, for goodness sake! 3. The groomer will call you, the customer, mean for complaining. What would've been mean, would be withholding that 15% tip I nonetheless gave. I requested that the hair on my dog's nose and between the eyes not be cut. Seeking to understand, I asked why and the groomer just shrugged and said that he guessed he just forgot and realized his mistake too late. No apology and he charged me more than the posted price range! I left there very angry. Hideous people skills. read more

Brent took our big fur baby in just a short notice and did a great job. He's pricing is reasonable. I would recommend Hairy's pet spa to others and we will definitely be back here again. read more

After several attempts of scheduling my dog for grooming with the dog groomer in Carlsbad, I began to question my choice of profession. Perhaps I should of been a dog groomer in Carlsbad (land of the retirees) instead, there is obvious a great demand for the service. After being told it would be about a two week waiting list to get a grooming appointment for my twelve pound dog, I finally searched for a groomer in my new residential location of Vista. I read the reviews and checked out Hairy's Pet Salon. I agree with the reviews on Yelp about Hairy's Pet Salon. Not only is Hairy's about ten dollars less than what I was paying before in Carlsbad, but my "Reeses" loves it there! He did not bolt madly out the gate and claw my leg when the gate was opened. Hairy's promptly opens at eight in the morning which is great for me. The salon is light and airy with plenty of room for pups to stretch their legs. In fact, my dog was never crated but instead permitted to run around and play with the other four dogs in the salon. Not only was I getting a clean and trimmed up puppy, but a relaxed and rejuvenated one as well. Much like my time at the salon where I find myself mixing and mingling with other patrons, drinking a glass of wine, and reading a girl magazine while debating on getting low lights or high lights; my "Reeses" was able to get some playtime, petting, and an opportunity to mingle (sniff butts). An additional service offered by Hairy's Pet Salon is teeth cleaning. I was told a canine dental hygienist comes in and provides that service once a month. The cost is about $100. I plan on taking advantage of this service real soon for my little guy. read more

Hairy's Pet Spa - It is a long haired Dachshund with a more natural trim. Just feet and sani area. - Pet Groomers Near Me - Vista, California

We are new to the area and chose Hairy's after reading reviews. Annie doesn't need a trim, just a bath and the usual extras like ears, nails, anal glands. She was done in less than an hour, and she smells great. Brent was very cordial and said that Annie was a good girl. She seemed to be very comfortable there. Next time we will try the teeth brushing! read more

I was visiting a friend with my dog, Sniffy. Didn't have time to take her to groomer in my hometown. Friend recommended Hairy's Pet Spa in Vista, where she has her dog groomed. The owner, Brent is a friendly chap and showed great care for my pet. Sniffy took to the groomer right away and was happy to be left there. I felt confident knowing I was leaving her in good care. The service was exceptional and very friendly and most important caring about my pet. Trim was adorable. Loved how he styled Sniffy's ears. I've had so many compliments about her appearance. If you are concerned with your dog being well taken care of... then I highly recommend this place! 5 star for sure. Keep up the good work! I will be back. Sincerely, Satisfied customer, Gayle read more

Does a great job with my Goldendoodle, and very accommodating with last minute schedules. Thank you!

I tried this place 2 years ago and was not happy but they have new owners so I thought I'd give them a try. I have a golden and a black lab they looked beautiful when I picked them up. They are dog people and my dogs could tell that and didn't freak out when I dropped them off. I loved that the owners took the time to visit with me unlike some of the other groomers out there. They got me in fast and there prices are good. I will definitely be back. read more

I had some great experiences here. Especially for bath and brush out. But after too many times of him complaining every time I came in about how long it took him to groom her, and him claiming that my dog was totally covered in mats without ever even touching her or looking for more than 2 seconds and despite that I had totally brushed her out the night before, I decided to learn to do it myself. I do a fine job and do not have trouble with mats. My dog was terribly fearful of him by the last time there so I'm glad I changed. I would say he's ok for most, but not for us. He is a nice man. read more

Our wire fox terrier, Garnet, seems to have a complex psychology. I wouldn't guess that dogs were self conscious of their appearance but each time Garnet's hair gets long she is not happy. We take her for a haircut at Hairy's, she comes home looking great, and she is so happy and ready to play. The staff at Hairy's always works with us on scheduling, they are polite and nice to the dog, and they do a great job. read more

Hairy's Pet Spa - Our wire fox terrier with a great haircut from Hairy's - Pet Groomers Near Me - Vista, California

wow! The worst possible customer service!! We just moved to Vista and need a dog groomer closer than Del Mar. This is near our house so I made an appointment. Today I tried to check my dog in to be groomed. They had extremely loud music playing from a radio. I couldn't hear or even think! When I asked him to turn it down he ignored me. I took my dog and departed, never to return! I figured that anyone that callous to customers might be similarly cruel to animals. Therr are plenty of others, beware of Hairy's in Vista! read more

I have gone to Hairy's for over a year now and today I was very disappointed by the way my fur baby was treated. I usually wait to pick up Coco my Yorkie when they tell me she is ready but I happened to be in the area and walked in, Pauline was grooming Coco and was holding her by the neck and aggressively holding her by the mustache to get her to stay still..... I was told that she has to hold her that way to make sure she grooms her correctly. Now I know why Coco is always shaking when I drop her off! I brought Coco home right away and she seemed stressed and panting. I will never bring her again! I should've been more attentive to my dogs warning signs. Update 1 - Pauline I was considering removing my post after you called me yesterday afternoon apologizing, offering to refund my money, and even offering to pay for my dog to see the Vet. I mentioned to you it was not about the money. I got busy today and did not see that you had called me I listened to your voicemail.... I am appalled now you're threatening me with a lawsuit over my review? You do know I am protected by the First amendment of freedom of speech. Furthermore, I did not state you treat other dogs that way nor that it is your practice as I am not a witness to how you treat other dogs. I mentioned you did it to my dog and with me standing there. That is factual, there is no defamation in my statement that is my interpretation. You stated that you wanted to handle this amicably exactly what is amicable about your voicemail you are trying to bully and intimidate me with a lawsuit to get me to remove my post. read more

I needed change asap for a bank deposit (atm is in the same plaza, and my bills were not crispy enough to be deposited) and none of the businesses around me wanted to trade me some odd reason. Owner heard me talking, called me over, and immediately came to the rescue and offered to help me out. The owner is an extremely nice person, I can see exactly why he works with animals :) it takes special patience to deal with our furry friends! Because of this friendly gesture, I will start referring him to anybody interested in the services this business provides. It costs $0 to be nice!!! read more

I brought my dog in for a cut and the owner/worker was extremely rude to me. Honestly it was weird. He was so rude that another customer next to me stood up for me and told the owner not to talk to me like that, and that kind of talk was not necessary. I appreciated him saying something because I was so dumbfounded by the owners comments to me. The other customer told me he wouldn't be back and I won't either. read more

Great dog groomer! Happy dog, happy owner. We are from Yuma and spend the summers in San Diego and will be back this summer

This is the BEST Place to go. After using a mobile groomer, I got my blessed Louie back in only 1 trip. Brent is like an Ole friend and I tried to remember why we switched. Moving to Valley Center was the big reason but we will be with him now forever. Thank You Chuck Crabill read more

I have been taking my dogs here for years. My fur babies are always happy going in and leaving. Brent is fantastic and a hard worker. I also love that he takes pictures of all his "clients" and posts them, I don't know how he gets such great pictures, but the dogs are always smiling! read more

This place is GREAT! Kate and Stacey truly love animals, and want to pamper your pooch. I was given a gift certificate from a co-worker, and that's how I discovered this place. I needed my dog washed in a hurry, and they had a great self dog wash, with warm water, towels, shampoo, conditioner, cologne... wow! My dog absolutely loved it. Kate and Stacey were so helpful and there hospitality is great. They couldn't wait until they had more time to really give her the full spa treatment. My dog can't wait either! There are all kinds of cute dog stuff - collars, sweaters, etc. and the DOG treats. This stuff looked better than some people treats. Personal service, attention and professionalism - I am overwhelmed. read more

I really dont think this place even deserves a one star. Let me just start off by saying, a girl friend of mine recommended me to take our 95 pound Cane Corso to a self wash service instead of washing him in our tub in our home. So, I called around to several locations finding out what the hours where, and as well what the cost would be for first time customers. This place was closer to my home and was 10.00 for first time customers, its normally 15.00. So let me tell you how my trip went from great to hell in the matter of walking in the door. First impressions says a lot right? RIGHT? I walk in the door and notice tons and tons and tons of hair just caked on the walls, baseboards, pictures, and old poop just laying in the middle of the floor. Now this poop wasnt fresh, it in fact had been there for so long that it had started to discolor! So, heres what happened, a older lady had asked me had I been there before, I said no first time (well... this should have rang a bell when I went to check out right?) Well, she said theres the tub, the shampoo and towels are on the side for you. Some younger girl, who was probably on Spring break came around to help me a little more, and not to mention my dog is 95 pounds I needed some help and the tubs are elevated with no opening for them to jump in and out. So here I am shown one bottle of watery shampoo, and watery conditioner, and thats that. So I finally said do you have a scrubber, or anything else I can use, or what about a apron to put on. (really if you look at their website, it says clearly different shampoos, conditioners, bows, cologne, brushes, and anything you could possibly need) Again, this really nice young girl said if you go around the side youll see everything. So I looked, and of course not everything but more than one bottle of watery shampoo, and at least some broken aprons right!!! So I got the job done with what I had and tried to make the best of it, and if my dog hadnt really had needed a bath I would have turned around at hello. Let me also tell you, I have been to professional groomers before but never one that is a self do it and I have never in my life seen such hair. This hair in this place was there from when they opened and made their first hair cut how many ever years that was ago! I have asthma and am allergic to dander, and pets. I am not 29 and have it both controlled, I have lived on a ranch my whole life with all animals, my mother is a vet and I worked at her office for 8 years and never not once had an asthma attack from coming in contact with animals. I live at home with three, and Im fine, the last time I had an asthma attack was at age 11, so you do the math many many years ago. This place is so filthy with dander, hair, dust and everything you can only imagine I left here having an asthma attack. My inhaler could not help me at all, my lungs had filled up with so much that I drove myself with my dog in the car to the hospital. I was instantly admitted and treated for six hours, I ended up calling a friend of mine to come and pick up my dog and take him home. Now, back to the ending here. The older lady that asked me if I had ever been there before also checked me out. I was having such a hard time breathing I told her Im having an asthma attack, she just looked at me like I was a nut, and then told me 15.00!!! I asked her is there a special for first time customers? Well,with a snotty attitude she told me YEAH 10.00, she took my card slide it hard, and threw the receipt at me.. Now, this place deserved nothing as far as a tip, I had to look and ask for everything, and it felt as though I was bothering them by asking.. But the stuff should be presentable, and not to mention Im here a paying customer and I can recommend customers to you, and as well come back. My dog needs a bath once a week from hiking and being out in the yard rolling around. The place was also filthy dirty, I would have rather licked the parking lot and drop something there on the ground and eat it! I also tried several times to talk to these ladys to make the room not so awkward, but I was a no body, and clearly by slinging the receipt at me bc I paid your special for first time customers really pissed her off. SO I LEFT0.00 for a tip and man did I get an ugly look, and as I was walking out the door she made a comment that I didnt either. If, in fact with that horrible experience she didnt have a pissy attitude when I went to pay, even with all that mess, and looking around I would have paid 15.00 total and left a 5.00 tip, but because of that I am sitting down right a review so that you stay away from this wrecked place! read more

***Dog parents beware. Harry's Salon cut my dog twice and did not tell me. Unacceptable!*** My little doggie had just been bathed and fully brushed before going to Harry's salon. I wanted him to be clean and knot-free before arriving so he had a great first experience and wanted to ensure that he did not get hurt, have knots or any other trauma. I walked in and was greeted by two nice ladies who appeared to have grooming experience. Immediately upon handing my dog to the groomer she placed him on the table near the guard fence by the table. He then immediately proceeded to leap off the table and fall to the ground appx 3 feet! This was pretty traumatic for me as I was so worried he would be injured after such a fall onto a hard floor. Also I was worried he would attempt to jump over the fence again and possibly get very injured next time. There were other other dogs running about on the floor who were also waiting to be groomed and I considered this to be a relief because my dog loves other dogs. However it didn't do anything to comfort my dog as he was terrified. The groomer asked me what I wanted during the initial meeting and I just said to cut it short but not totally shaved. I received a call about an hour and a half later saying I could come pick him up. When I came to pick my dog I was suspicious when the groomer told me that he had a few knots that needed to be worked out which was not true since I had just washed and brushed him prior to arriving. Now I realize that she was giving me a disclaimer just incase I noticed the large cut under his arm. About the actual haircut, it was uneven in many spots but truth be told I didn't care because later that night I noticed he was licking his paws a lot and I inspected them, two of his paw pads were cut and oozing liquid where the hair had been shaved off. I also noticed that there was a cut that had been made under his arm done by a scissor which was clipped in a v shape about 1/3" long and stayed red and swollen for days. I called Hairy's to tell them about it and I didn't hear back from them for a couple days. When I got the call the lady told me she 'didn't know' that they had cut him and that I should bring him in and they would 'fix the hair cut'. There was no mention of the cuts or any apology for injuring and emotionally scarring my dog. There was no way I would go back in to have them 'fix' his hair cut after what they did the first time. Trusting them with a scissor I will never do again. I can live with a bad hair cut for my dog. What I can't live with is people hurting him and then claiming they didn't even know that they did it. I understand accidents happen but someone should have told me that they cut him. Not only did they cut him once, but twice! If they would have been up front and apologized then I would not have left this one star review. For the record my dog is 1.5 yrs old and had three previous grooming experiences at other places before, two being PetCo (who I will also be reviewing) and NO ONE had EVER cut him. It is very unprofessional for a groomer to not even notice an injury, let alone two. After this experience I will most likely be doing my dog's grooming myself. read more

first visit... Great and friendly service. My dog came home smelling good and relaxed. second visit... they cut his nails too short and hit the quik, it bled, they didnt tell me, I noticed when I got home and spent the next 4 hours trying to comfort him and make the bleeding stop. never going back, unacceptable read more

They do a really great job on the dogs here. My two dogs are happy to take a car ride over to Hairy's! I really enjoy picking them up because they are happy and smell so fresh and so clean. The staff is upbeat and professional! I like the look about the salon and the feeling of happy happy, joy joy when you walk into the salon. Will definitely be coming back. Thank you Hairy's! read more

Rooney LOVED getting his hair cut here!! The ladies are all so nice and treated Rooney like he was one of their own. His haircut was perfect!! he had crazy matted ears and even though the mats had to be cut out, it didn't look like it in the end! The hair was blended nicely to cover the spots. He particularly loved one of the groomers dogs, Keeper. They played and played and played the whole time!! Rooney didn't want to leave!! read more

I am the other owner of the dog, so were not trying to pull anything over on you, just trying to look out for the safety of other dogs. Took him to the vet right from your shop yesterday , he never left the car until going into the hospital. He needed antibiotics and vaccinations because of the punctures in his gums and side of his neck . Never heard of a dog biting his own face, down his neck, neither did the vet, who said he's anything BUT aggressive and the sweetest dog they've met. His regular groomer and boarding spots have always said the same thing. So clearly he wasn't separated from the aggressive dogs. If you work with horses but can't handle a chihuahua than clearly your in the wrong business. You are unprofessional as well and don't care about the well being of animals. You should be ashamed of yourself. read more
