Love her ... read more

Tony, the owner of this establishment is a moody AND mean spirited person! The first Red Flag I witnessed was when I picked up my older dog from her after a grooming appointment. She barked at me that my dog needed "Trazadone!" She INSISTED that he was senile! I took him to our Veterinarian and was assured that he wasn't senile, but sensitive due to hearing and sight loss. On my last visit to have my dog's face groomed, Tony was short, snappy and grumpy toward my dog. It was then that I made the decision to never return to her salon. My new groomer validated my feelings about Tony by informing me that she had heard bad reports about her temperament. One never knows how their dog is being treated when their dog is at the groomer. Tony is cruel, find a new groomer, as I did! read more

This is a unique grooming business because Tony is so knowledgeable and caring about the dogs. At my first visit she went over everything from nails to ears to eye goop. Really glad to have found her! Patty T. read more

Toni is a very good groomer and and absolutely wonderful person! I am bringing to her my three standard poodles, and no matter what is their initial messy state, by the time I get them back all three look like Show Dogs! She stayed open during the pandemic, when most groomers in the area closed their business, and provided a safe, secure, and loving environment for her customers, four- and two-legged. Thank you, Toni! I am so happy I found you! read more

The best! Friendly, very good at turning a dirty dog into a princess. I won't take my dog anywhere else.

Maria is a lovely lady who clearly loves her work. She took care of my little guy Jack after another place groomed him and left him a mess. She made him look all shiny and bright. We left there happy even though Jack was a bit difficult to groom. His nails were finally cut short enough that they were easy for him to walk. His cut made him look like a healthy pup again. This is our new grooming home. Go to Maria. She's the owner and has great pride and love for what she does. She'll take good care of your precious loved ones. read more

Toni is a great groomer and an awesome and kind person. She genuinely cares about her clients and the humans that care for them . My corgi Sam loves his spa days with her. I will never go anywhere else. You shouldn't either! She is the best! She cares! read more

We take both of our beagles here monthly. They do a wonderful job and my two are fine with going there.

I called and the owner was not accepting new customers, but she took the time to listen to me and scheduled my dog for a nail trim. Thank you! read more

The owner is an amazing groomer and person. Super knowledgeable and gives great advice and loves animals. I could not be mire happy with her work and how much love she gives our dogs. read more

Tony was so amazing with our Cockapoo, Stella. Stella recently passed away but Tony always took such wonderful care of her every time we brought her in. She would always say, "give me that baby!". She is wonderful with Senior dogs. I can't thank her enough for all the care she gave to our little girl. I can't recommend her enough and eternally grateful for her kindness. read more

I feel great dropping my dogs for grooming at Scissorhands. My 2 doodles are beautiful when Tony gets done with them. She provides a thorough update about the condition of their coats, skin, ears and a dog - whisperer understanding of their personalities. Tony is also one of the beautiful people on the planet, straightforward and authentic. I can't imagine going anywhere else, my dogs & grand-dog get such great care @ Scissorhands! read more

They do a great job with our dog, and are friendly and easy to deal with. Our dog hates taking a bath and always gets nervous to go to the groomer, but her hair grows fast, so we have to take her regularly. They take good care of her and let her air dry in front of a fan after her bath, which she loves! She is always clean and happy when we pick her up. read more

My dog, Princess Ida, always leaves looking gorgeous. Even more important,Toni really LOOKS at dogs and notices when something's not right. She picked up on an eyelid problem that my vet had missed. As a result, Ida got treatment from a veterinary opthamologist, which has made her life a whole lot more comfortable. Katherine C. read more

I've taken my dogs to Scissorhands Dog Grooming for several years. Hands down they are the best groomers in Sonoma County. Tony is absolutely magical with dogs. She loves them all and gives personal service to each and every dog who enters her business. I can't say enough about how professional and wonderful Tony is. You will love her and your dog will too!!! read more

I've lived in Forestville My whole life. I have always taken my dogs to their normal veterinary clinic to get any sort of nail trimming done. Due to COVID-19 my veterinary clinic is not offering any nail trimming services. They told me to reach out to a local groomer. So I called Scissorhands. I have three dogs all different sizes and all different breeds.The lady who answered the phone started with "Hello?!?", I was caught off guard thinking I might've called the wrong number. Then she was like " Oh Scissorhands" I asked simple questions about services and fees, and she said the cost was depending on the size of the animal. Then she asked if they were good about trimming their nails. I said if they were I probably would do it myself. Then she asked if they would bite, I have a Teacup Chihuahua who can be a little bit nippy but has never actually punctured or drawn blood. But isn't enthusiastic about the whole process. As I begin to explain this to her she told me "it was a yes or no answer".Right then and there I knew I would never be taking my dogs to Scissorhands. She was extremely rude and unprofessional. I know businesses are struggling right now to get back on their feet. I had no problem supporting their business. But that's no way to treat clientele. So even though I never got a service from this so-called groomer. My over the phone experience was enough to know that this place probably sucks. read more

Beautiful! Toni and her family are professional and talented. I wish I could upload a picture of Abi the Schnoodle!

My rescue poodle can be on the nervous side. Toni handles him with compassionate mastery & he dances into Scissorhands for his Spa Day. He's so handsome as to be almost unrecognizable when I pick him up, and still dancing with head and tail held high. read more

Scissorhands - Toni rocks my poodles world!. - Pet Groomers Near Me - Forestville, California

See all

I called to get some basic details about fees, services, etc and the woman who answered the phone was not at all polite. My dog is a rescue and she was obviously frustrated that I didn't know my dogs exact breeds. Telling her he was a shepherd mix wasnt enough and she wanted to know if he was a pitbull (which he isn't) He's an older dog and has never been profesionally groomed so naturally I'm being cautious about who I go to. She was shocked I hadn't had him groomed before and asked "what have you even been doing this whole time?" Not the most offensive question but her tone throughout the entire conversation made it pretty insulting. I have no idea how they are in person, or how their grooming skills are here, but in terms of customer service I'd give them 0 stars. read more

Just brought my 4 month old puppy there for his first haircut and am extremely satisfied. She gave him a great haircut, he was happy and looks like a whole new puppy! I will be returning there, and i know my dog will leave happy. Thank you Scissorhands. read more

I have been taking my dogs to Scissorhands for around 18 years now first with my two Miniature Schnauzers and for the last 9 tears with my Bouvier des Flandres. Toni has always done an excellent job grooming them but even more importantly the way she handles the dogs and the obvious love she has for them is just priceless. Nothing is more important to me when I have to leave my dogs somewhere with someone else than to know without question they are in the best possible care. Toni gives me this peace of mind and that to me is golden. I recently started a dog walking business and Toni has been an enormous help to me getting the word out about my services and putting up flyers and business cards in the shop for me. She is not only my dog's groomer I consider her a good friend as well. Toni RULES! read more

Love Love Love Tony....we take our little rescue pup, Jack, to her and she does a great job. Jack is very timid and he does fine. He looks like a million bucks when we pick him up and he has quite the attitude for a bit when he gets home! She makes him have a little feather duster tail and it's the cutest thing ever, plus he smells great for days and is super soft. Thank you Tony! read more

They are lovely people here. Patient, kind, and very patient with my nervous dog. They always get him looking beautiful.

My 14 year old Pekingese is a rescue and suffers from congestive heart failure. I have been unable to have him groomed for almost two years because he has a tendency to faint during a normal grooming session. He also nips at strangers - a left over from his previous owner. Toni at Scissorhand handled him perfectly! She has a firm straightforward touch but truly loves the dogs she trims. This is exactly what my Charlie Bear needed. He sailed through with flying colors (no fainting) and looks amazing!! read more

We moved to Forestville recently and discovered this place after walking around downtown. I was able to call and make an appointment for the next day. All I can say is "WOW"!!! Toni did a fabulous job with our little Junior. He came home looking and smelling fantastic! Toni really knows what she's doing when it comes to grooming and I'm so glad we found her. Plus it is less than 5 minutes from our home. Can't beat that! We will definitely be back!!!! read more

We had used Toni for years because of her convenient location. When we moved to Santa Rosa we tried a few other places, but nobody can compare. The most important feature of Scissorhands isn't the quality of their work, which is great. For us, it's the obvious love Toni has for all the animals in her care. If you want your pet handled by a loving human, you won't go wrong at Scissorhands. It's worth an extra half hour drive round trip for me to know my dog is in caring hands. read more

Spumoni loves Tony and so do Sebastian and I in that she is a sweet, kind, and caring lady who does an awesome job grooming our dog. Thank you Tony for all that you do! read more

14 years, and I still take my Toto in for grooming...I just say "We're going to see Aunt Tony" and his tail starts up! He loves his Auntie!

I have two dogs, Nike and Squirrel. When I would give Squirrel a bath it was like a 9.8 earthquake, everything rattles and rolls, and the water in the tub is just like a tsunami all over the place. Now when Auntie Tony gives him a bath it like heaven, he stands there and loves it. My dogs thank Auntie Tony and I dang sure thank her...there is no better place on the planet, just ask Squirrel...... Robert Forestville, CA read more

My mini poodle was very nervous about getting groomed. I wouldn't say she likes it now, but she is much less stressed out with Toni's loving care. read more

Love this place. They do a wonderful job and know there stuff. always done when they say they will be done. My dog looks great (shih tzus) I will bring my babies back. only one thing... be careful what you say about someones baby. He may be spoiled but don't call him a brat. it hurts. But I know sometimes we speak before thinking. (he can be a little spoiled baby, I know) But amazing groomers here. Very knowledgeable and compassionate. thank you read more

Tony has groomed my dogs for nearly 20 years. She does a great job and I never have to worry when I leave my dogs in her care. She gives great free advice on dog care and manners. Since I am a single pet owner her input about the behavior and attitude of my fur kids is much appreciated. read more
