Happy Grooming is our go to grooming place in the DMV. Frankly no other place we have tried in 5 plus years of Goldendoodle ownership is remotely comparable. They do an excellent job. Our 90 lb white Goldendoodle almost looks forward to being fluffed and buffed. An added benefit is their location near the Italian Store. The best subs south of Philly. Get your dog groomed pick up a sub at the Italian Store. A Perfect day for man and dog. (Or better said person and dog) read more

They took a same day booking and knocked the groom and bath out of the park! My poodle is super fluffy still days later. The store is in an unsuspecting strip mall with miniature parking spots. Easy checkin with a positive staff that was super welcoming and listened to my needs. Easy pickup with a small discount for cash! read more

I have nothing but great things to say about Happy Grooming. My cats never let me cut their nails and I didn't know about any other options. After doing a quick search, I found that Happy Grooming will cut their nails for $10 cash (each cat) and will take them any time they are open without an appointment. I drop the cats off and within 3-5 minutes they are ready to go back home. I don't know how they do it, but I'm thoroughly impressed! Highly recommend!! read more

We took Lizzy to Happy Grooming for the fourth time in the last 8 months. The prior three times went great. However, this last trip was less than ideal. We picked her up Friday evening, and she looked great. After the rainy night on Saturday, we took her out for a walk. When we got back, we took off her harness and Lizzy instantly started scratching herself behind her right front leg. Then, there was blood! The picture is from a day after. The groomer had shaved her to the skin, and we weren't informed of this at pick up. We were not warned against any potential chafing. If the groomer had told us this, we would've been more prepared to monitor the spot and provide a barrier against scratching or chafing. Our vet was able to see her this morning first thing so we took her in to make sure there wasn't any infections as extra precaution. Luckily, Lizzy is fine with some prescription topical antibiotic. One vet bill later, we took Lizzy to the groomers to tell them what happened. My friend, Lizzy's owner, got defensive because it felt like the woman in charge at the front desk was blaming Lizzy for scratching herself after the discomfort caused by the groomer. There was no apology or fault accepted. In the end, Happy Grooming reluctantly agreed to pay 1/2 the vet bill. This is better than nothing, but we likely won't go back. It was clear that Lizzy was traumatized, and we don't want to do that to our poor girl. We understand mistakes happen, but if we had been warned at pick up that the razor burn had occurred, we could have taken action immediately and avoided further injury. read more

I have been coming to this place for a few years now. I was referred by one of my clients (I'm a cat sitter) who took her 2 cats there. Her cats were always purrfectly groomed and gorgeous. I take my Birman every spring to get his summer shave and he always comes home looking amazing. Lately, my other kitty has been getting very matted. She had stopped grooming herself and needed help. I didn't feel comfortable shaving her myself, scared that I would hurt her. On a whim, I thought to call them up and see if they could help me. I was desperate, Mia had never needed a shave before in her life. I was told their cat groomer wasn't there, but to come by with Mia and they would see what they could do. I was blown away. They took care of the terrible mats on her legs, trimmed down the backs of her legs, and even clipped her claws. I usually clip her claws, but I have misplaced my clippers since moving into our new apartment. They went above and beyond for me and I was so happy that her mats were gone. They must have been causing her pain and she didn't need that having just dealt with the stress of our move. read more

Could not be happier. I have a seven month old pudelpointer. She's a hunting dog so I've foolishly been attempting to bathe her myself. [She hates this]. I tried this place for the first time, based off my sister's recommendation. The staff were friendly, reasonably priced and did an amazing job! I warned them that her ears were dirty (she spends a lot of time running outside and I use wipes regularly.) Wow! I've never seen her ears so clean. She smells great and is so soft. I'm sure she'll be filthy again tomorrow but today, she's perfect. And even came home in an adorable bandanna. Will definitely be bringing her back. read more

My first born fur baby was in absolute desperate need of a grooming with tons of matted hair after months of quarantine. A friend recommended Happy grooming and we couldn't be more pleased with the results! Our fur baby got the BEST haircut he's ever had and they did the works (nails, anal glands, bathing, and cut). It was reasonably priced considering the state of his hair and there's a small cash discount as well. The first time discount was clutch and we loved the results! I had read comments about the unfriendliness of the staff but we didn't get any bad vibes. My boo is feeling fresh and looking good. We are happy grooming customers for life! Definitely recommend them, the results speak for themselves. read more

So I was a customer here for 2 years. Haven't been here in about 2 years. One day the severely cut my dog's paw pad. At first they were apologetic. The owner got involved and they covered our vet bill, only the standard fee portion. But we were quite pleased with their response, even though frustrated about our dog being hurt. Fast forward 3 months and we go to make another appointment with a different groomer, and we were told that they would not retain us as customers. Believe it or not, they hurt our dog and then black listed us as customers even though we weren't aggressive towards them. Real classy Update: Owner reached out to get more information and apologized. We moved onto another groomer 2 years ago, but I appreciate this. read more

My pomeranian used to have lovely fluffy fur. In February 2023, I took him to Happy Grooming, and they cut him incredibly short, which ruined his under-cover fur FOREVER and could never be grown back. His further has not grown back in six months. I'm extremely disappointed because the groomer was unfamiliar with pomeranian underfur. His fur around his neck is no longer silky. My hand finds it pokey. I'm so mad and sad. read more

I only write reviews when I feel super strongly about an establishment. I've been to a couple other groomers and by far, happy grooming treats my dog the best (he always seems happy when I arrive to pick him up), and at the same time giving him the cutest haircut I can imagine. As a doodle, they get matted so fast if they aren't brushed often. My dog was super matted once after I picked him up from the place he was boarded, it seemed impossible for me to get those mats out. I thought they'd have to shave them completely. But they somehow succeeded to give him the cutest haircut ever. I don't know how they manage to NOT have to shave my cavapoo completely when he has mats like that, and still end up with the cutest puppy haircut, but they do it every time. I trust them so much and that means a lot because my dog it's super important to me. I attached a screenshot of my dogs Instagram caption saying how much we love it! All I wish is that this groomer had an Instagram. read more

I've been going to this place for almost 2 years now and couldn't be happier. I took my dog to a couple of groomers before this one with awful experiences of them butchering the hair of my dog. I took my dog here for the first time, described what I wanted and had pictures (due to past groomers never listening), and she came out looking exactly how I wanted. They really listened and are always open to adjust depending on the season. I keep my dogs hair a little fluffier/longer in the winter and short in the summer. My dogs hair gets matted quickly no matter how much I brush her so the fact that they are able to get them out without shaving her is amazing. If I could rate them 10/10 I would. Best groomer in Arlington! read more

Good job with my cat. I would use them again. Bill with tip was $130. They do not sedate animals.

Just took our Cavapoo Frank here for his first haircut and can't recommend Happy Grooming enough. I was nervous because I've seen some cavapoo haircuts that haven't looked great, but they did such a good job! Frank was also sad to leave when we came and picked him up. They even gave us some great tips as well to brush him and bath him at home. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

Mocha's home away from home when we are in DC is without a doubt Happy Grooming. Filled with the most dog loving people you'll meet your pup is sure to have the BEST time. I found Happy Grooming through the recommendation of a friend who drive 40 minutes each way to come to this incredible spot. This is without a doubt the best spot in the DMV to get any type of service on your pup. I truly could not be more pleased with the price, care, and overall experience that is going to Happy Grooming. Since Mocha was 5 months old this is the ONLY place he has been groomed at in the DM Story time: my baby has an incredibly sensitive stomach and has had some instances of getting quite dirty and one call to Happy Grooming and they were happy to fit Mocha in for a bath last minute. What can I say - looking for a cut, clean, nail clip, hygenic cut, cleaning of tear stains and all of an affordable price? Look no further than Happy Grooming, you will get the best service you will ever get and a cute little bandana when they are done. read more

I brought my mini poodle here for his first grooming experience at 4 months old. I was nervous for him since this was his first time, and he was definitely nervous as well, but Happy Grooming did a great job calming him and giving him a fabulous haircut! The appointment took about 3 hours since they trim nails, clean ears, etc. They were honest about what kind of cut they recommend and since it was summer, they recommended a short cut, which they did such a great job on. They also don't recommend popping in and out to check on your pup since it may get them excited and put them in harms way when the groomer has shears in their hand. Overall, it was a great experience and we will definitely be coming back! read more

Came by to get my dogs' nails clipped. Called ahead and was told that I didn't need an appointment. I opened the door was and was told to just wait outside. They took one dog in at a time and it was super quick. Then they brought out a wireless card reader and even pumped some hand sanitizer onto my hands! Nice touch. Very quick and I appreciate them just dealing with me on the sidewalk. read more

Since I shuttle between two cities, I needed a groomer for my pooch when in Rosslyn. After reading through multiple reviews of different groomers I decided to try Happy Grooming. Located on Lee highway, the store has its own parking lot with a small grass patch if your pet needs to relieve themself prior to the grooming session. The store itself is small but clean & well maintained. They have two adorable dogs who are the most well behaved pooches I have ever seen! The groomer asked me how I wanted my pooch groomed & did a decent job following my wishes. Maybe if my pup was more cooperative the job would have looked a little better...who knows! There is a 10% discount for new pets which is a plus considering the pet grooming prices in the area. However, if I had to pick, I would still prefer my groomer in Pittsburgh... Given value for money & the quality of job done... Having said that,I think in this area Happy grooming is a good option! read more

We used to take our Goldendoodle here for grooming frequently but the last three times the quality of grooming and haircut (too long, uneven) has declined. We noticed her sanitary area would get irritated and this last time we brought her it was so bad our dog got an infection and had to go to the vet. It was so irritated she had trouble going to the bathroom a walking. I spoke to another owner I know that takes her dog to happy grooming and the same thing happened to them. This place used to be great but we will no longer be taking her here anymore due to the decline in haircut quality and her last infection. *The business responded about the incorrect dog below - my dog is not clover and we took our dog there July 2022 when she got the infection. read more

Quick basic service. Our dog seems happy to go there and she is always nice and clean when she come home

Pleasant team, could use more space, and team could be more knowledgeable about grooming certain breeds.

I can't say enough about how well Earnesto treats our cats. He is thoughtful and careful. He schedules our cat appointments when no dogs are present. He gave our Siberian cat Sochi a summer shave but left a very stylish fluffy face and tail. Sochi is so happy to be rid of his massive winter coat, he runs and plays like a kitten again. For our skittish little cat Novella, he cut out her minor mats and brushed out her fur for a beautiful matte-free look. read more

I brought my dog in for grooming services and I wished I read every Yelp review. My dog is normally super active but after we left this place she was so quiet and calm. We thought that it was because this was her first grooming experience. After this appointment my dog has been super sick. She has been having very bad diarrhea and can't keep anything down. We believe they gave my dog some sort of sedative at the appointment. We are waiting for results from the vet. read more
