    Her new hair cut!
    Michelle D.

    We had such a wonderful experience here! The owner is really friendly and did a great job on our pup. We couldn't be happier! Will definitely return :)

    Uneven legs bald spot

    Do not go here!! We gave this groomer two chances both times he actively ignored what we asked for except the second time he butchered our dog. My partner felt so awkward he actually tiped and left. When he got home we notced that our dof had uneven hair, bald patches and uneven claws. We went back and he was very rude and talked us that we should be greatful that he took the time to work wirh our dog at a great price.

    This is third time I came here for my dog. I made appointment day before and he told me come tomorrow at 4:30. When I showed up on time, he act like why I'm here.I told him I made appointment yesterday and he said ok leave your dog. But he had other dog. I decided come back later when he finished.When I went back, he took other dog so I gave up my appointment and left. After 40mins later,He called me back say ready but I didn't have time so I went back next day. He was watching TV when he started brush my dog so I got nervous. I went back inside from outside and make sure my dog is ok but he said dog get too excited when owner come in. You need to leave. After I left hour later he texted me for pick up. He told me he cut my dog ear hair little bit but it wasn't little bit it's hole! I said Oh no looks very bad. He is mad and ok you act like end of the world,don't pay and leave! Never come back! I was like really?I didn't try not to pay but I pay for professional. I cannot say what I think? He said you never made mistake? You came back inside that's why she moving and cut too much. When I went back,you just started brushing her hair not even start shampoo yet. Is this still my fault? Anyway I left money and took my dog out.When I came home, I found other bald spot by her tail.I know it's hard job even just brush her hair. That's why still I don't mind pay for it. But I'm hairstylist and business owner too. It's no excuse if I made holes my clients hair especially watching tv doing clients !? I know he is working hard and I was happy he opened near me.But this time,he was wrong and never go back again.

    My dog was groomed here for the first time today and he looks fabulous! The end result was exactly what we asked for. This business just opened around April/May. We will definitely be returning for all future grooms. The prices are fair and staff is very friendly!

    Our mini Aussie loves it here!

    See all

    I called for a bath for my dog. He said he doesn't do service for pitbulls. Pretty biased and disappointing.

    Laura is amazing! She does a fabulous job and goes above a d beyond to make sure Magnum is getting…read morethe very best care! I recommend Hair of the Dog highly!

    So done. Molly has…read morebeen getting groomed by Laura for eight years. She's an excellent groomer, but she is not great at running her business. Molly has had standing appointments every month, but they're not always followed up, and sometimes, I don't even know when her appointments are. I had expressed my concerns with Laura in the past. Last month, I was supposed to go away on vacation. We had already booked Molly's appointment before my vacation, so I wasn't concerned about it. I asked her for a status update on the day of, and she told me that she had moved her appointment date, and "sorry I didn't update." She didn't even ASK ME if this schedule change was okay to begin with! What the hell? Who is she to just move things around without asking me? When I expressed my frustration at the time, she gave me a very curt/dismissive reply. I called her out on it, then she blamed texting as the reason why it came off that way. Then guess what: work on your texting/communication skills, if that's the way you choose to communicate with your clients. Not to mention that whoever is helping her run the business side of things (Tammy) has been super rude. She even tried to get me to RETROACTIVELY sign a fuel surcharge document for the prior month, when this had never been discussed with me. All of her responses (via text) are super curt, dismissive, and rude. That air of superiority does not work for me. All of the negative reviews about the customer service are accurate. Things were so bad at that time that I texted Laura and said that while I've appreciated everything she had done for Molly, we were going to have to part ways. She and I discussed it, and I was convinced to stay with her. She told me about what she had been struggling with, and I was compassionate to her situation. Things got better for a bit, but not for long. That's the key issue with this place: there is a lack of consistency. Things look "better" for a bit and then drop back into the abyss. Today was the straw that broke the camel's back. Her truck needed servicing. I understand that those types of things are not predictable. Of course I would be understanding of this, but each month comes with some sort of issue. It's hard to consider this a "one off" when it happens more frequently than not. I expressed my frustration and she said she's apologized in the past. I told her that this is causing me anxiety each month. Getting my dog groomed, when her schedule is already booked, should not be this stressful. Her reply: "It is unfortunate that you feel that way. The only anxiety I had today was that I could get my truck repaired in time to not let my people down, and that it wasn't a giant bill. It is my hope that you feel better." It was clear from her response that she has no empathy for others, despite being someone who's used her own mental health issues as an excuse for her past transgressions. "The only anxiety that I had today..." part basically makes it seem like she's diminishing my feelings about being dismissed nearly on a MONTHLY BASIS. So apparently, it's only about herself. By her saying "it is unfortunate that you feel that way," it was clear that this is over and that this is completely irreparable. She takes zero ownership and had no insight into the fact that it's not just about today -- everything is additive and I have not seen things go smoothly for a long time. Apologies can only go so far. She also told me: "I agree that it would be nice if things always ran smoothly all the time, but sometimes we just have to roll with it." There's been a lot of back and forth for many years, a lot of schedule changes, a lot of Molly getting dropped from the schedule, lack of communication, etc. I had been loyal through all of it. I've BEEN rolling with it. Yes, of course it would be nice of your clients to be flexible from time to time... but it shouldn't be all the time. The tone of that also feels like she's asking ME to shoulder HER burden. Unfortunately, it is just time to part ways. They seem to charge a missed appointment fee if cancelling less than 48 hours in advance, and whole amount for no call, no show. Apparently, respect or this policy isn't a two way street. If you notice from other reviews, she's lost several loyal clients due to rudeness and lack of reliability. One of the other reviews says that they cancelled him 30 minutes prior to the appointment, using COVID as an excuse - and one of the groomers gave him a snarky reply: "I'm sorry this how you are reacting due to being rescheduled during a National crisis." It's these types of unwarranted, inappropriate, snarky remarks that I've gotten so used to from some of their people. This is clearly the norm of how they speak to people, which it shouldn't be. Perhaps she should spend more time on her business and less on her chickens.
