    Deep cut from grooming incident.
    T.J. W.

    Recommendation: Do not come here. I've been to this groomer three times, and unfortunately, the quality has declined with each visit. Several of my friends with dogs have also chosen to stop coming here. This past Saturday was especially concerning. Our dog came home with a deep cut. The staff suggested this injury happened before grooming, even though we dropped him off first thing in the morning. When we picked him up, he was yelping, clearly scared, and we later discovered the cut ourselves. What has been most disappointing is the lack of accountability. When I reached out, their response was to suggest that I take my dog to a vet before they would even consider taking action. I'm not looking to pursue legal action--just an honest conversation and for the business to take responsibility for what happened. Dog grooming requires trust, and in this case, I no longer feel comfortable bringing my pet here. I hope future customers will take this into account when deciding where to take their dogs.

    Oksana's is always professional, friendly and timely when working w/ my dog Daisy. She always looks fabulous after her grooming. I couldn't be happier with their service.

    OEG Groomers is the best! We bring in scruffy shaggy Charlie and he comes out looking like a runway model! He's not scared to see them (he used to tremble and be so scared pre-grooming). They are kind and loving with Charlie and do such a beautiful job. They are amazing with teeth cleaning too! (see pics) We are so happy with everyone at OEG! Loyal clients forever now!

    The best grooming salon! I drove from San Jose to Oakland to groom my poodle there and I'm amazed how pretty she is now. I know it's crazy to drive an hour to groom your dog ones a month but I want the best for my baby. No cages, knowledgeable groomer who knows the breed standards and can create a stunning look.

    Pretzel

    Our cavapoo happily walks into to Oksana for her grooming because the grooming team is so gentle and patient with her. Pretzel's coat needs special care and the team really understands how to work with her soft, curly fur. They are very understanding when I tell them there might be mats and it helps a lot that they clean her teeth at the same time. What means the most to me is how happy she is when I pick her up, it's clear they genuinely love dogs. And she looks fabulous every time!

    I highly recommend Oksana Elegant Grooming, especially if you have a poodle (or a poodle mix). The grooming is top notch--some of the best I have seen in the US for poodle grooming--and very reasonably priced. I was particularly impressed with the attention to detail and quality of the hand scissoring done on my miniature poodle (shown in the photos). My dog was happy and not stressed when I picked her up after the grooming appointment, and the studio is quiet and tidy. I groomed my dog myself for 6 years, but the quality and kindness from Oksana is enough to convert me to a regular client. Thank you Oksana!

Heather gave me really good instructions and commentary on how to prepare Curry for a grooming appointment so that she wouldn't be nervous or in pain and was super accommodating and patient with her. The cut is so cute and exactly what I wanted!! Love this place, will definitely come here for future hair cuts :-))

    This is a positive review for Heather.  She was very knowledgeable and helpful. She also showed…read moregood character. I had reached out to Heather seeking advice on how to help a stray cat "Miss Kitty".  Miss Kitty comes around 2x a day for food in my backyard. She is a very pretty kitty with medium length black hair who seems to have some matting issues. Miss Kitty is very skittish but I have been slowly building trust with her these past few weeks. So can now pet her. Given she has been outdoors she is not used to being brushed and gets scared when she sees it. I contacted Heather seeking advice for how to best help the cat with her coat. Heather very generously spent 30+ mins talking with me.  We covered all sorts of topics. Including ways to desensitize the cat to brushing, which sort of brush/comb to use, and how to make sure it's also paired with a positive reward (like a treat). HEather also explained that I should first get her used to me brushing/combing her where there are no tangles, just so that cat can get used to the experience. Then as I build comfort with cat, gradually work my way over to the tangles to gently work on them.   She also gave her take suggesting that maybe this was winter undercoat growing out with some tangles. Versus extreme matting that was pulling the skin and causing pain to the cat. Which was a huge relief in itself! We also spoke about the pros/cons of shaving her. She explained it would definitely give her a fresh start for the coat. However, Heather voiced that if it was done now (April) she worried the cat would get cold outside.  So suggested if it was done, either to wait until warmer months or until the cat maybe was more socialized and willing to live indoors afterwards. We also spoke about if eventually the cat was shaved that would also be a good time to bathe her, which type of soap to use, etc. We also spoke about if I did ever get her socialized to that point, how we could make any future appt less stressful for the cat. During the conversation Heather also spoke with me about not rushing things, given strays have a lot of trust issues. So Heather understood how fragile the budding bond is with this cat. (She mentioned her mother in law did feral cat rescue, so was familiar with how to work with these types of cats who generally are not used to human interactions.) If Heather was as different type of person and greedy - she would have just wanted me to bring the cat in for an appt immediately or tried to sell me a bunch of products.  But she really seemed to care about the cat's well being which I really appreciated.  There was zero attempt to sell me on anything which these days is very rare. Heather also declined my offer to pay her for the phone consultation, saying she was happy just to help. Again very rare! If you want someone who is a knowledgeable and experienced groomer, genuinely cares about the animal's well being, and is a wonderful human being to boot - you will be in good hands with Heather.

    It's been nearly 2 years since I brought my dog to Spaw Fitness to be groomed and I have not…read moreforgotten how traumatized he was. He woke me up several times that night after I brought him home. He was agitated, seeking comfort. He'd been nicked and in some spots was shaved so close the skin was exposed. When we first arrived -- before I left him to be groomed -- he responded with panic. I have felt such regret for not listening to him and the plea in his gaze not to leave him. I wonder what he sensed. I will post a photo of how he looks after an excellent grooming elsewhere, and another of how he looked when I picked him up from Spaw. I didn't post a review at the time because I felt the owner was nice and meant well -- but I can't drive past the business without a shudder.

    After a 6-hour appointment with Taj, my dog now looks like this. My husband and I are heartbroken…read morethat our dog came back stressed and anxious. We've recently moved to this area, and all our previous grooming experiences elsewhere have been positive. I had provided Taj with clear instructions for my dog's grooming: poodle paws, teddy-bear face, and a summer cut for his body. However, my dog came back with visible razor burns, uneven patches of fur, and nails that weren't trimmed. I was also in absolute disbelief that his face was completely shaved, contrary to our discussion. Along with the traumatic experience for our dog, Taj's interaction with my husband was less than professional. Instead of acknowledging the mistakes, Taj was defensive and lacked courtesy. Given our experience, I am genuinely surprised by the high reviews Taj has received.

Won't get into the nitty gritty (because all other staff was great) but I was able to notice differential service between me and other owners. Everyone should be treated with equal respect and care, would not want this to be mistaken as bias. My pup had such a good time, I dont think he will associate the vet with something to be scared of. Considering my pups story, this speaks volumes of the dedicated staff and the environment they cultivated

This made it really easy for us to trust that we were being guided by someone wise and with the best of intentions. Highly recommend.
