    Rarely, do I want to rush home to write an adoring review to a really deserving establishment and owner. Tess is the exception! I am one of those notorious procrastinators. I will wait until I am fed up with the trail of dog hair on the hardwoods (tip: short hair dogs shed just as much if not more than long hair dogs!) before calling around in search of same day grooming. Upon my search, I came across Tesslan dog spa. I gave Tess a call, and asked for a Hail Mary. She was patient, and inquisitive to learn about my dog Luna. After chatting a bit, she let me know that she is not able to take larger dogs anymore because it's just her and her assistant and she is getting a bit older and not able to hold them as easily, but that she would be happy to have me come in, and help guide me, using her products and bathing equipment, and then her and her assistant could trim her nails while I am present to help comfort and ease my dogs worries. I agreed and came in to take her up in her offer. When I came in the first thing I noticed was how great it smelled and how clean it was (not very common on a grooming place!) Then I noticed there were no crates! Only a few boxed baby gates throughout the facility. I was welcomed in, and then Tess took me to her Dog wash basin, and brought me all that I needed, and proceeded to walk me through how best to wash her using the products she had ready for me. She even brought over ear cleaning and special face wash so as not to get any soap in her eyes. While I was washing Luna, I could hear Tess and her assistant (Jessica ?) talking sweetly to the dogs that they were grooming in the other room. Another little lovable dog hung out happily in one of the baby gates while she waited for her turn. When I was done they brought me and Luna over to the next room to get her nails trimmed. They had me stay by Luna's face and put oils on my hand to massage into her head to calm her while they went to work trimming her nails. They also put some calming salve in her ears to also help relax her while her nails got trimmed. Afterwards they gave her some actually good quality treats (meat, not biscuits) as a reward and to help build trust with her. Price was not bad at all. $25 for the self service bath and $25 for the nails. My pup is now happily lying next to me with a clean (shed free) coat, ears and paws and smelling great! Thanks so much for the amazing service Tess! We will definitely be back!!

    Tess is hands down THE BEST!!! My little girl Bella has been refused by many many groomers because she's biting and though she's only 6 lbs, Bella can be very feisty. Tess was recommended by another groomer and she didn't disappoint. Her whole team deserves a shout out! They took their time to get to know Bella, they were gentle..... they are simply the best! If your pet has an anxiety being with strangers like Bella, if pet grooming is turning like a nightmare to you and your pet.....call Tess, she can do magic like what she did to Bella. I will give Tess and team 10 stars if I can!!!

    First time ever going to any groomers therefore I was very nervous about my puppy being mishandled. I took a lot of time doing research on the best groomers. No matter the distance or cost, I wanted to ensure my puppy will be in the best care. Thankfully, I had found Tess. Although she is located 40 minutes away from where I live, she is well worth the drive! She was very attentive to my puppy, Remy. Tess allowed me to stay and watch as Remy was getting a bath, nails trimmed, and groomed; which put me at ease, as I mentioned that I was concerned about groomers mishandling my puppy. I love how she was patient and understanding that it was Remy's first time getting groomed. I also love the fact that there are no kennels in Tess's grooming salon. I can definitely tell that she has a passion for what she does. After my experience with Tess, I completely trust her with Remy. I will definitely make the drive just so that Remy is in the best care.

    TESSLAN dog spa best nail trim of their lives!!

    Five PLUS stars for the experience at TESSLAN Dog Spa! Relocating to Bellevue, one of the many services we needed to find was a new groomer for our 3 puppers-Greta, a six year old 70 pound American Staffordshire Terrier, Ollie and Deedo our senior (read cranky) chihuahuas. Tess along with her assistant Harry gave Greta the full experience, bath, blow dry, nail trim. When I went to pick her up she was roaming free, following Tess around like her new BFF! I say this because as sweet as Greta is she is NOT fond of a bath and usually wants to run out of the salon upon my arrival. Her ease and comfort in a potentially stressful situation made me so happy! She was so proud of her pretty bandana post bath, another kind touch along with the calming essential oils, soothing music, and no kenneling will bring us back again and again! The photo shows the littles getting their nail trims (also much hated and very stressful). Tess allowed me to stay right with them and soothe them while she quickly and efficiently took care of their lil paws. Prices are in line with service provided. My dogs are not traumatized, I didn't spend all day waiting for a call to pick them up, and Tess was a pleasure to do business with. Easily FIVE STAR service and more!! TL;DR-TESSLAN DOG SPA 10/10 recommend!!!

    His cut is perfect!

    Tess and her team are absolutely amazing. My dog had a bad experience at a different groomer and became terrified to be touched and especially groomed, they told me to not bring him back because he was too difficult. I was then pointed to Tesslan Dog Spa, I am so happy and grateful I found this place. Tess is so patient, gentle, kind, and takes her time with my sweet boy. I 100% trust her with him every time I drop him off there, she works with him to ensure he feels comfortable and earns his trust. She does such a great cut you can see how cute he looks in the picture I included :) Thank you to Tess and her team!!

    I've been taking my little girl to see Tess for a little under a year now and I am a believer in her methodology. My dog had a nightmare experience with a different groomer, so I wanted to be more discerning with whichever groomer I worked with next. Tess goes above and beyond what any groomer is expected to do, and my dog has benefited greatly from it. I'm a first time dog owner, and Tess has been instrumental in showing me how to brush her at home regularly to keep grooming a stress-free experience. I see a noticeable difference in how easy it is for me to brush my dog at home now! The attention to detail Tess and her team uses when grooming pets makes it worth every single penny. The way I see it, I'm happy to invest a little extra if it means the quality of life for my dog increases.

    Perfectly clipped nails.
    Renuka W.

    Chloë rarely lets anyone cut her nails. I was afraid I'd have to take her to the vet to get sedated for a cutting. Her nails were out of control. Lorena and Tess got the job done! Oh and I was in the waiting room when they clipped the nails I didn't hear any whining or crying from Chloë.. pain free! Look how cute her mani-pedi is! Her fur trimming is cute too, no doubt but I know the nails were a challenge. Thank you!

    Great experience for my pup here! She is a one year old golden and i loved the low stress aspect of the grooming. I will definitely only be bringing my pup here

    Perfect corgi butt trim.
    Sabina C.

    Down to earth business owner who really had my fur baby's best interest. He came out looking and smelling his best. Everything from a good teeth brushing, butt hair trim, nail clipping and bath. They took care to even clean his ears. 10/10 would recommend. Come a little early, it's not immediately obviously where it's located.

    AFTER!!

    I do not recommend this groomer. In my opinion, they do not care about your pet's well being. High staff turnover.

They are able to get us in within a few days or schedule several months out at a time emergency attention to eye crusty with same or next day Request if you have a white dog who gets goopy eyes that can get sealed shut or infected, if you know then you know this is an important feature. My dogs eyelids have insanely curly fur that will go straight into his eyes if it's not kept closely clipped My dog always seems to be happy to come out of the car and into the salon, which has not always been the case. My dog can be mighty and unpredictable and even aggressive and somehow or other, they are able to give him an experience that he is enthusiastic to come back to again and again They are able to accommodate my desire for the longer fur in the cold and wet months and then a shorter coat for summer. I'm from Los Angeles where it's hard to find groomers who are still willing to work on cats, but best friends has a cat groomer that comes multiple times a week and they have been really great with my older also somewhat aggressive cat getting and keeping him Matt free without a full body, shave in his senior years as he grooms himself less often. I will try to update with a picture after our next groom.

    Thank you for removing my previous five-star review from your website, as that review was based on…read moremy experience with the previous owners. After the ownership change, we decided to stop bringing our dog here after she had a full-blown panic attack during a visit. I do want to be clear that I'm not trying to dissuade anyone else from coming here. If you've had a positive experience, that may simply be your experience and your dog's experience. For us personally, our dog became extremely anxious. She would shake and pant uncontrollably just pulling into the parking lot, and based on her reaction, we no longer felt comfortable continuing to bring her here. I also want to share that I was uncomfortable seeing my previous five-star review displayed on the business website after the ownership change. That review was written based on my experience with the previous owners, not the current ownership, so I don't feel it accurately represents the experience someone would have under the current business. To me, using a review from a previous ownership period as current marketing feels misleading. Another concern for me was not being able to see what was happening behind the wall or observe the grooming process. We have since switched to a different grooming facility where our dog no longer shows this level of anxiety. They have windows where you can see the groomers working, and they are much more transparent about the process, which has given us peace of mind. This is simply my personal experience, and I recognize others may have had a different one. However, for our dog and our family, we do not feel comfortable returning.

    The transition in ownership from Becca went smoothly until we had a grooming appointment on Friday…read moreand they shaved our dog since they were struggling with matting (our dog comes in every seven weeks and it was our normal seven week cadence). This is despite my husband brushing our dog two nights before and I the weekend previously. When my mum picked her up the groomer mentioned we didn't come in last month (thinking we were monthly clients) and she was struggling handling her. We have always been generous tippers and have come here for six years (our dog is seven) and this has never happened, Need to find another groomer but never coming back here--grateful they didn't injure our dog but apparent the groomer had no patience with her.
