Used to be a 4-5 star, not perfect but I'd say over all great and close to home- Couple hiccups but…read moredidn't stop us from coming back, that is life. Ever since our regular groomer left it has gone from a 4 to a 3 and if they weren't so darn nice, clean and local it would be less than a 3. So here we go- Last several grooms they miss stuff, no biggy, I just go back and trim some small things up- they are dogs and moving around so I get it but my dog I know is sweet and docile so I think she is on the easier side although her hair is so kinkly curly that adds the element of hard (I am trying to be really gracious to here) but today, we picked her up and after having to shave her ears from matting she has a cut on each ear and bleeding and no one said one word so we are pretty disappointed. She is clearly uncomfortable because she isn't acting herself. Matting on her is on me, it happens sometimes even when we brush her alot....this is the first time they have ever had to shave her ears! Super disappointed that no one noticed or said anything. Again, everyone is nice, it is very clean and I do love that they have her in and out in like 90 min but they need to pay attention to the details and communicate better, especially for well over $100 appt every 6+ weeks of going there. ***Update*** Owner reached out, said they didn't see any blood but sometimes when you have that close to this area of skin shaved it can bleed, not from a cut though. And cuts happen, we get it! No one would have seen the blood unless they looked inside her ear so I want to clarify it wasn't a cut as far as we understand and we don't think they were careless w/ our pup, actually the opposite, they are very caring which is why we go there. So now that we are a day later I think my only feedback would have been that it would have been nice to be made aware this CAN happen so we were prepared and not worried when we saw the blood, super simple! We are lay people & not experts in grooming procedures around matting and what can happen. We will work harder on the ears to make sure this can be avoided in the future, it is the first time her ears had to be shaved so after 3 years we are still learning how to manage this girls kinkly curly coat. My husband thinks maybe I should have given them more time to respond but I had 2 bleeding ears and couldn't reach anyone by phone, text or email and I should have not had to wait hours to understand what was happening.

The groomer claimed to know all about show dogs, six years experience. I'm left wondering six years experience in exactly what. I spoke with the manager who didn't sound very concerned. Never offered a refund or anything useful. I offered to donate my time to come to a team meeting to teach about show dogs, terriers in particular. The manager assured me that wasn't appropriate, team meetings are about growing the business. The groomer did an excellent job in that respect. She up charged me for ruining my dog's coat. In summary, BEWARE.

First of all, when my dog showed signs of distress, the groomer immediately started scolding her, as if she was taking her stress out on my dog. Like, WTF? When I tried to step in, she walked toward the door to the back room which was super sus. I could tell the other groomer, who was working on another dog, noticed how bad the situation was getting and stepped in to help hold my dog. So I continued to monitor what was happening. When she finished, she walked toward me with a defensive attitude and said she "trimmed one of the nails too short, but it's not bleeding so it's fine." WTF? I asked her to show me which nail she meant, and she couldn't even identify it. When I saw it, it was trimmed really short and clearly looked painful. No wonder my dog was in distress. Then, as soon as I got into the car, I noticed bleeding on her back paw. I ran back in and told them my dog was bleeding, and again she got defensive, saying "Where? Where?" and tried to yank my dog's paws to check herself. When she finally saw the bleeding, she grabbed some kind of ointment or quick-stop powder and said, "Accidents happen." Uh, no. This wasn't an accident, it was incompetence. Honestly, her license should be reconsidered given her hostility toward animals and lack of technical skill. There was even more BS that came out of her mouth, but I won't bother including it here. Someone like her should not be handling pets at all. I was speechless at how unprofessional she was -- and even more shocked to learn that she is one of the owners, based on the photo here on Yelp. I would never recommend this place to anyone.
