Julio has been grooming my dogs for the past 11 years! I actually can't believe it's been that long looking back now. Good groomers are hard to find, but he is the BEST! He truly cares about your dog and his craft. I moved to the suburbs 2 years ago and I tried other groomers in my area, but they could never get my Pom's haircut quite right. Needless to say, I drive from the suburbs to bring my Pom to get groomed by him, and battling the traffic is worth it! My little guy always gets snuggles from the staff and treated like one of their own. Mau's House grooming environment is more relaxed with less dogs and noise than any other grooming salon or boutique I have taken my dog's to. If you're looking for a groomer and a salon where you know when you drop your dog off they will be treated like their own, then Mau's House is for you! Can't recommend them enough. read more

This little guy has been going to Mau's house for 1.5 yrs now and it's been amazing. They are so beyond caring, call me before he's ready so he's never in a cage and let him roam free. Everything about maus house is exceptional. read more

Excellent service. Our puppy is very comfortable here. This was our second visit. Many more to come.

I came here to help my daughter to give a haircut to her dog. Following gps, i obviously drove into their back side, with few spots of parking, but says require permit etc. i was nervous to park here, but the address is right, so i decided to take the dog out and walk to the front to see whether i can find the store. Fortunately i found it, and the staff greeted and called my dog's name and shows their happiness to see him again. We agreed that i will come back in 2-3 hours, and they will notify me 20 mins earlier from the pick up. The pick up process is easy and friendly too. I think it's a great place to get your dog a haircut! Now he looks like a puppy after the haircut, so adorable! read more

We have been searching for a groomer for our Daisy for weeks since her groomer moved and we found him. Mau's House took perfect care of our pooch. She is older and moves slower and they made sure her every need was met. We are so happy we found Mau's House. read more

We love Mau's House! Fair prices, flexible scheduling, incredibly nice owners, and clean facilities. You can easily text Julio for availability day of or the day before and get your pup in. We've taken our dog, Glenn Coco, here twice now. First for a deshedding bath, nail grind, and ear cleaning. The second time we went in for a nail trim, it was super quick. They did his nails while I waited comfortably in the lobby. Accepts Venmo and Zelle for payments. If you need a dog groomer this is your place. I highly recommend! read more

A very good grooming place for dogs lovers. The owners don't cage your love in cages and they have the run of the house. They do a great job and are super dog lovers. Strongly recommend this place. read more

I've been taking my senior Yorkie to Julio since he opened the business. He is so patient with my old derp - even though he is getting incontinent and is heard of sight and hearing. Julio listened to me but also offers health tips when he sees changes and grooming suggestions based on weather, the doggos needs and approximate time of next groom. Definitely recommend! read more

Julio, the owner, is one of those heart-of-gold people that just really genuinely cares about people and animals. I've taken a number of pittie rescues there over the years, all with slightly different behavioral quirks, and he's 110% kind, patient, and knowledgable with us. And of course, the girls have always been in beautiful condition when done. I also appreciate that if something is too much for a dog, he won't push it on the dog, especially if the dog has never been there before. A corporate place would just force it and traumatize the dog. If you love you dogs, this is the place to go. I would never go anywhere else. Go here for the great service and the care they show the animals. It's a bonus that you'll also be supporting a small business. read more

Julio and staff go above & beyond! Scheduling is so easy & their processes are smooth. My dog Stella loves going to Mau's House because she knows she'll get a treat in the end. Staff are well informed and knowledgeable. Location is always kept clean and festive! Would reccomend to anyone with a furry friend! read more

Julio, Thank you so much for taking such good care of Evie! I love how much you do what you do for her with her skin problems! We appreciate you more than you know! The Best Groomer Ever! read more

LOVE Mau's House! Kind and caring owners that go above and beyond for you and your pet. The facility is clean and welcoming and pricing is excellent. Our Yorkie left his appointment in great spirit, and we are receiving so many compliments on his look. 10 stars- highly recommend!!! read more

Want to support a local business? This is it. Want to find literally the sweetest most caring groomer that does a fantastic job carefully grooming a Bichon Frise? This is it. Want to find a place you feel comfortable leaving your fur baby for a few hours? This is it. We've been using Julio for 6 years, we moved with him from another location. Now he's the owner of Mau's and what an asset to this neighborhood! He's the sweetest most caring groomer we've ever met. If he was 2 hours away we'd rent a car travel to him, that is how fantastic he is. We've tried all the Sloop places prior but nothing came close to the quality, service and care Julio provides. He's so popular he's hard to book without a good lead time, which I'm terrible at. It's best if you're a planner and can set a schedule way in advance. I'm going to start booking the year. read more

The best groomer in the city! Julio just opened this shop and had always done such a good job with my pup. My dog can be a bit of a diva sometimes and he is so good with him and he always comes home looking amazing and smelling SO good! Always so friendly and professional, I can trust my dog is in good hands here. They are a welcoming and homelike environment so my dog isn't locked in a crate before and after grooming like so many other places. He can hang out and relax instead which is a big perk for me since he doesn't get crated at home. Definitely recommend everyone to come here- they're great with dogs of all sizes and ages. read more

Simply the best groomers in South Loop!!! Owners Julio and Lisette have been grooming my Chihuahua for over 3 years and they are by far his favorites. They are so gentle with him and do such great work! Every time I need to bring my dog in for a nail trim I have been able to get in with same day service. The prices are very fair to low compared to other full service groomers in the area as well. Both the waiting area and grooming area are very clean and kept well ventilated and air conditioned for the warm months. I am fortunate to be able to walk there but there is free street parking close by. I also like that they accept Venmo and Zelle in addition to cash and card - super convenient!! read more

Pros: Julio is super nice, works quickly, is accommodating and most importantly my dog looks great afterwards. Cons: Kind of expensive, but he was literally across the street so I called it the price of convenience. read more

Tio Julio is hands down the best groomer in the South Loop! Maybe ever. He works hard to make sure you're happy. His puppy spa is amazing and so well put together and neat. Takes all the Covid precautions. He treats our fur baby like his own. His prices are reasonable and not inflated. Do not go anywhere else. read more

From beginning to end customer service was excellent. When I called they patiently answered my questions. I came in for a consult and they were again patient and kind with my questions. I dropped my puppy off scared. I returned and he was calm and pleasant. At other places he runs to me and is nervous but he was returned to me in a content state. And last he had a nice cut. In fact he looked like a new dog. We were so happy to take him home and he smelled good too. This was a great experience. Julio gained my trust and offered good services. Thanks! read more

WHEW! Thank god for this place! I was taking my frenchie here for about 2 years straight and almost sad that I had to move away from the neighborhood. I tried someone else and it made me realize that I need to take that trip to Mau's house! Thank you guys for your experience, expertise, and care ! read more

Instead of leaving a bad review for a (different) groomer in the neighborhood who messed up my dogs haircut and humiliated me, I would like to praise Julio and his service. Wishing I would of went back to Julio for my pups third groom rather then making an impromptu appointment at where I purchase my pups food. Julio did an amazing job with my pups eager demeanor and her curly doodle coat. He was very patient and was able to give her a cute short trim, in addition to educating me on how I could keep up with her grooming at home. Which after my most recent frustration, I have learned that Golden doodle coats should not be shaved down. All the while being nearly impossible to groom due to their curl and hair texture which can make finding a good groomer daunting. Well, I have learned my lesson and will no longer venture around! I highly recommend Julio and his grooming services. And even more so if you have a young energetic doodle! He clearly is one of a kind! I have officially overcame my commitment issues and I will be back as soon as she has hair again to do so! read more

We were beyond excited when we found our that Lisette and Julio were both opening a new shop! The Dream Team! Our little guy has never been great with groomers but Lisette and Julio have always been amazing with him! He's a different dog around them and they really know their stuff. They always do great work and the pricing is very fair! We highly recommend Mau's House!! read more

Julio is so incredible. I have a large and pretty difficult dog and have stressed so much over trying to find a groomer that was patient and understanding of her. Julio is so patient and caring with my dog and I feel so comfortable bringing her to his care. She loves him and always gets so excited to see him now. Aside from him being great with her, she always looks and smells incredible when I pick her up. Additionally, his pricing is very fair. Julio even posts silly pictures and videos of my dog on his instagram and I love seeing her have fun in his salon. I can't thank Julio enough for being so kind to my dog. No matter where I move in the city I will ALWAYS bring my dog to Julio and recommend everyone to him. This man understands dogs and their behaviors and it shows. Thank you for everything you do, Julio! read more

Just picked up my pup, Boris, from Mau's House. Clean, safe, and the best grooming place in South Loop. Julio is extremely talented and my little corgi always smells good and is super soft afterwards. Thanks a million!!! See you next month! read more

I have never posted a negative Yelp review particularly about a small business but unfortunately my experience today at Mau's warrants this. The owner provided terrible care towards my special needs dog. I had an appointment for a nail trim, we arrived on time and within minutes the owner, Julio, told me I'd have to come back later (and bring peanut butter) because he's too busy. My dog has an amputated leg and needed a few extra minutes to develop trust and get comfortable. In addition, he was rude and extremely impatient with my dog despite a sign posted claiming patience is the key to a good groomer. I have supported Julio and his business for years, I used to call to him the dog whisperer and have referred dozens of neighbors to his business. Huge mistake, he is not in business for the reasons you'd hope, because he loves and cares for our pets. Rather he's in it to operate a revolving door of sub par service and is not dedicated to the well being of your pet. I will not be back nor recommend Mau's. read more

I waited 2 months for an appointment to this place and it was worth the wait!! They came highly recommended from friends. My little poodle puppy was so nervous -he's a shy little guy and has separation anxiety - but they were so kind and made both me and my puppy very comfortable. This is our groomer for life! read more

Horrible customer service ...tried in vain for over a month to make an appointment..did not receive the courtesy of a response to repeated texts and/ or emails...very disappointing because Julio had groomed my 2 dogs for years before opening Maus read more

Julio is amazing. Best place to take your furry friends. A friend recommended Julio to me and I've been going to Mau's ever since.

Mau's House did a fantastic job with my puppy's first groom! Great service and so gentle with our pup. Even the vet mentioned how well her paws were shaped (and the vet sees a lot of dogs, so I consider that a big compliment)! Our dog seemed calm after her groom which shows how much care they show to these pups. read more

I spoke with the owner weeks ago to schedule an appointment for my dog's first visit, and he told me he had availability for a date weeks away, but that he would put my dog down for an appointment. I waited weeks for that date to arrive, only for the owner to say he never said that the appointment was booked and my dog was still on the wait list and that they prioritize their recurring customers over new ones, so now I will have to wait weeks again if I would like to get my dog booked or go elsewhere. I understand that mistakes and miscommunication happen, but at least be professional enough to own up to it and figure out a resolution. read more

I am so glad that Julio opened up his own shop! Mau's House is a dream come true for a doodle owner. My pup's hair is very high maintenance but Julio goes above and beyond to make sure he looks good. Julio takes all of my preferences into consideration. His customer service is also top notch- he spends time with me before and after the groom going over what needs to be done and provides me with tips on brushes or shampoos to use to help my pup not get matted. I trust him 1000% and feel very lucky that I found someone who knows exactly what to do with doodle hair! read more

They were super professional, addressed all my questions, and were super accommodating to make the appointment around my work schedule. My dog is super allergic to lots of things and they were also super accommodating and allowed me to bring my dog's medicated shampoo and hypoallergenic treats! Julio was incredibly sweet and patient with me and even more so with my dog. Lincoln is an 80lb lab/boxer who does not love to get his nails trimmed. Julio must be a miracle worker because he had no issues with Lincoln at all! Lincolns and I will definitely will be back ASAP! read more

Julio, thank you for doing Mr. Bacon's nails! He looks forward to getting his nail grind thanks to your gentle kind way with our pup! We couldn't be happier! read more

Undoubtedly the best groomer in Chicago! The owners are such kindhearted, knowledgeable professionals and excellent groomers! They've been so patient with my new puppy who is getting used to grooming and can be a little fidgety. My pup really adores them and tugs me to their shop whenever I'm nearby. With a new pup, I've asked countless questions and they've been so patient and helpful in their responses. Not to mention how dapper my pup looks coming out of a cut! For all the services they offer, the prices are very reasonable and meet any grooming needs I could hope for. It's also super convenient to schedule or coordinate an appointment over text. More than anything it means so much for me to take my pup to a place where he's comfortable and the owners are really great people - I'm grateful to have found Mau's House! read more

With all the rave reviews I called to cancel an appt. for my now over the rainbow Shih-Tzu. She was scheduled for Dec. I spoke with the male that answered and he recalled the conversation and offered his sympathy. I later acquired a new puppy and called to schedule a appt. I spoke with a female at length, and she suggested I call Jan. 3, for confirmation. Well...a message comes on stating they are busy attending their fur babies and they will get back to you. I'm still waiting, waiting and waiting. Please be mindful that I followed "YOUR" instructions and left several detailed messages with my phone number and to date, not so much as a courtesy return call. So MAU's House... whomever runs your customer service. Obviously, returning a phone call is no longer important because you have become too busy and consumed to return calls. Hire someone to tend to your front desk and provide that simple aspect of doing business. You received the message and you are not able to schedule my fur baby ! YOU"RE BOOKED BEYOND CAPACITY The Best to you ! read more

Been going to Mau's house since day 1 of their opening. I would never go anywhere else as long as I still live in Chicago area. They're caring and professional when it comes to dogs and grooming. Their shop is always clean and smells great. My dogs came out all clean and cute after every appointment. read more

My pomeranian has been groomed by Julio for several years. His new shop is adorable - highly recommend! Support this small business!

Julio is a great dog groomer. We went to him when he was at Kriser's and I am so glad that he struck out on his own independently! He's is great with my pup, has flexible scheduling, and is exceptional at what he does. read more
