We had a great first experience at The Groomery. It's in an adorable little building in Old Town with parking which is very convenient. When you walk in there's a small entrance that separates you from the grooming area. It seems really secure for the dogs inside. They have a book showing the different levels that they can cut which is really helpful! I had a nice chat with the groomer and told her everything we wanted. She followed my instructions and my dog looked adorable! It's a bit pricier than what I've been paying in Vienna, but we will be back for sure. read more

Very good place they treat your puppies very nice here and they did a amazing job on my Shih Tzu puppy

They did a great job on my dog and I'll probably go back as it's hard to find a good groomer near by. The reason for the lower stars is the groomer is rude - it was absolutely pouring rain when I showed up at 8:52 for my 9am appointment and she wouldn't let me come inside or even stand in the doorway to get out of the rain. Ridiculous. I had walked there and didn't have a car to sit in. Don't schedule 9am apts if you don't open your door till exactly 9am. Make your first apt at 9:15. read more

As always, Javi did it again. Beautiful grooming! And thorough teeth cleaning. Had her vet physical, 2.5 yo and zero plaque on her teeth, vet was surprised. Thanks Javi! read more

They gave my girl a great haircut! Very friendly. Some have said they are pricey but it's worth it

Bella and Sturgis are not the easiest German Shepherd Dogs to stand still while their nails get clipped. But the experts at The Groomery did a great job for our pups. They were able to easily deal with Sturgis' "exuberance" and Bella's "excitement." Prices for a nail tim are competitive with other groomers, and, considering the expertise and kind handling of our pets, The Groomery, Ltd. Is an OUTSTANDING value! The location is easy to get to, the first right off RT 1 N (S. Patrick St.) from I-495) onto Franklin St., just cross Washington and on the left. Plenty of drop-off and pickup parking right in front of the building. Bella and Sturgis have asked to take them back to The Groomery the next time they need some sprucing up! We will honor that request. read more

My dog got the most perfect cut ever. Like beyond perfect! The groomer and staff are amazing and very kind!! The salon is adorable and spotless. Zero complaints. Unfortunately it's a bit too pricey for me so I'm going to have to keep looking. I'm really bummed because the groomer is really talented. My dog is a Pomsky and grooming was $150 + tip ($180). read more

The five stars are all for Alley. We followed her from a prior place, and never even questioned it. But everyone else here has been super nice as well. For what it's worth, that prior place is within walking distance of our apartment, but instead we drive 30 minutes in DC metro traffic to come here. If you're familiar with driving in and around DC, you'll know what an endorsement that is. read more

The Groomery Ltd. - Freshly groomed and looking like a cloud. - Pet Groomers Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

We have been coming to the Groomery for quite a few years now. If I could give 10 stars I would. Our poodle had some terrible previous experiences that left him very afraid of groomers. Bell and her team worked with him to ensure it was always a positive experience. He now runs into the Groomery eager to see everyone and get all cleaned up. When we added another poodle to our pack the Groomery was once again the only place we will take them. Everyone is always so kind and accommodating. Every groomer we have worked with has been nothing but pleasant and delivers beautiful grooms. We feel so much relief having a place we know we can take our pets that takes such good care of them and delivers great grooms! The Groomery Ltd. is the only place we will take our dogs for a groom! read more

Please watch the attached video before bringing your dog to this groomer. I chose this groomer because my regular one had a long wait, and I didn't want to delay. I regret that decision. Two hours after dropping off my dog, the staff contacted me to say he was "unsafe" and had been throwing himself against the grooming table. They said they couldn't finish the appointment. He has never had a problem at a groomer before. I was also upset that I had to pay $300 for a service that wasn't completed. Still, I got in the car immediately to go pick him up. While I was on the way, they sent me a video of my dog clearly in distress. No one in the video is attempting to soothe him. They sent this footage to "prove" he was un-groomable -- even though I hadn't questioned their decision and was already en route. Receiving that video made me feel sick. When I spoke with the owner, she claimed they had spent an hour and a half trying to comfort him. Given that he was there for only two hours and had already been bathed, that timeline doesn't add up. She also told me there were ten cameras in the room and that she could prove he was being comforted the entire time. I asked her to please share footage of those attempts to comfort him so I could have some reassurance. She refused, saying I was "being mean" and that she had already spoken with me for fifteen minutes -- though at that point, the call had lasted just over five minutes. I'm sharing this review -- and the video -- in the hope that no other dog has to go through what mine did. read more

Firstly, for whatever reason, our pup Olivia disliked going to our last groomer (clearly, something had happened that resulted in her being very skittish when visiting). But since we switched to The Groomery Ltd, she's been doing much better, so a big thanks to the team for working to make her feel safe. Our pup has been groomed by Charlise a few times. And each time she's done an outstanding job. Olivia is a Wheaten, and when we get her haircut we hope she still looks like one. Charlise gets it right every time. All that is to say, The Groomery Ltd. is awesome and highly recommended by both me and Olivia. read more

Cut and has my dog bleeding so bed had to go to vet. I have never experienced such a pitiful experience and to say they did not see him bleeding is absurd read more

This is a great groomer! We have been going since they were on Glebe and now take both of our dogs here. We have two goldendoodles, whose hair ccan be somewhat difficult to cut and many groomers end up making them look crazy. Our doodles do not look crazy and they actually look forward to going to the groomer! Highly recommend this spot. read more

This place is amazing!! I took my elderly cat in for a full grooming and the service was top notch, from the Groomer asking me to fill out a questionnaire of exactly what I wanted for the grooming to even drawling a picture of what it would look like after on my cat. Lola came back too with the cutest bandanna after the grooming and the groomer even cleaned her very hairy carrier-I was beyond impressed! As it's really hard to find a good cat groomer in the area I'm so happy I found the groomery! read more

My senior boy had a bath and it went absolutely perfect. He's a 110 lb GSD and came out BEAAUUUTIFUL! The staff is so so friendly. The facility is gorgeous (front office is a little snug so if you have a dog that you don't want to socialize in close quarters I would make sure it's empty before entering) They truly care about your fur baby. Rebecca at the front desk is a sweetheart, she asked lots of questions about how to handle my baby (is he friendly/anything to look out for/grooming experience) which made me feel calm about his appointment. When I picked him up she recommended a deshed next visit, told me how the visit went and made me feel super satisfied with his visit. His coat is so fresh, nails nicely trimmed & he is a happy boy! Definitely returning! They are a little pricy but it's worth it for a luxury experience read more

The Groomery on Glebe did my pup some justice! She went from looking like sandy "from Annie" to a pooch who was trotting on rodeo drive in Beverly Hills. I didn't even know how to handle her when I seen her new look. The groomer was professional and highly knowledgeable about her line of work. Koko my puppy received them well. My pup had no pats in her fur, she smelled amazing, and they even added a cute purple scarf and barrettes, I was floored. Well worth the price read more

I can't sing the praises of Belle enough! This was our second time at The Groomery Ltd, but it was my 5 month old pup's very first haircut. Belle was fantastic and she listened carefully to what I wanted for Paxton's haircut. I expressed my nervousness as this was a first time experience for both Paxton and myself and I wanted to ensure my fur baby would come out looking as desired. Belle was also very patient with Paxton and showed cared in understanding that his first haircut could be a lot for him, so I appreciate her for taking any nerves he may have had into consideration. Needless to say, I was absolutely blown away when I picked Paxton up! His fur was soft, shiny, and perfectly groomed. It's clear that The Groomery Ltd. takes real pride in their work and truly cares about the well-being of their furry clients. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. read more

The Groomery Ltd. - First haircut! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

My 1st review over 2 years ago was positive, but I am revising it due to recent experiences. In late April, I called 5 times and left messages with no response. I found another groomer to tied my dog over, but I had once had a good experience at The Groomery - so I tried again. I didn't have any success reaching them by phone once more, so I decided to stop by in person. The front desk clerk took one look at me and pretended to look up my "file". Then I was l denied service for reasons no one was available who had the background to groom my dog. However, I had looked online at the groomers' backgrounds. I read they had ones with the skills to groom a healthy older bichon, but the clerk said there was no one. I asked why my calls were never returned, the clerk said she spoke to the manager and it was decided there was no one who could groom my dog, so she didn't return my calls. This made no sense. Anyway, the experience was fishy and potentially discriminatory. My dog had once been a regular with no issues over 2 years ago. I don't understand why now I'm being refused service. You deserve 1 star for this kind of practice, but I'm being nice because you once were professional with me and my dog. read more

Another great visit to see Belle and her staff. Katie did a great job as usual and people were commenting about our dog on the way home, like usual! The new location is convenient and beautiful! read more

Happy Puppy Happy Owner Luna and I are very happy with her first haircut. She's a 6 month old Australian Labradoodle who felt right at home with the friendly staff. The groomer was very professional and thoughtful to consult with me about the desired length and style of Luna's first haircut. Although the prices are a bit higher than other locations, I think it was worth the cost. Luna will definitely be coming back! read more

The best place to get your pet groomed! Violet has been going to The Groomery to Belle since she was a puppy (over 5 years). Violet comes every month, is treated so well and absolutely loves Belle. And she always comes out perfect. We are so grateful for the team here that takes care of my baby. read more

One of the hardest parts of relocating is finding new groomers/stylists/vets/drs, etc... when you had great ones. I initially looked for a mobile groomer on the suggestion of a dog trainer to help alleviate stress for our senior girl. The ones recommended either had no availability or had a price that was just not in our realm. So I do I what I usually do and read through many Yelp reviews to find The Groomery-it said they specialized in senior/disabled dogs and the fact that they didn't cage them all day while they waited their turn was what won me over. They did a great job and were done in about 2.5 hrs. The price was higher than what I am used to paying, but quite frankly to have our first grooming experience in VA be a good one was worth every penny. read more

Extremely happy with the groomery! They took the time to go into full detail with what they'll be doing for my cat and made me feel comfortable leaving her in their care.

I've been bringing my Shih Tzu here since we moved to the area and I'm so glad we found this place! Belle, the owner, is always so sweet and it's very easy to schedule appointments via email and they've always been able to fit his appointments in the same week I call. I'm very picky with how my dog's haircut looks because a lot of places don't seem to be able to get the cuts right, but since coming here, he looks the best he's ever looked! Thanks for keeping my pup looking his most handsome! I can tell the groomers all love dogs and Gizmo actually gets excited to come here! read more

The Groomery is the best dog and cat groomer that we have found in 30 years. We have a 3 coat dog and cat. Each is so well cared for and groomed to perfection by all of the staff at The Groomery Ltd. 5 Stars read more

This place lives up to its reviews. My dog, Saturn, always looks amazing after a groom. So cute that random cars stop and call out how adorable he looks (can't believe this happens). The care, expertise, and kindness of the staff make the Groomery exceptional. I'll never forget calling as a frantic first time dog owner worried my new puppy's nails were too long (and too nervous to try trimming them myself). From that moment, I knew the consistent 5 star reviews were well-earned. They take wonderful care of dogs ...and owners. I've been a customer for about two years and continue to value the staff suggestions on what would work best for my small, shy Shih Tzu. My sister started taking her energetic golden doodle (Saturn's best friend, Mars) to the Groomery too...and he looks fabulous post-groom. The new location is beautifully decorated and right across from Balducci's ...perfect for post drop off grocery shopping. read more

Before settling on a groomer, we looked around and tried out several places, but nothing compared to The Groomery on Glebe.

Definitely recommend. read more

In response to the owner's totally combative response to my review, yes as a hairdresser I totally understand how reviews impact a business but that doesn't excuse the fact that an unhappy customer who gave your establishment a chance to fix a situation, still left your business unhappy with a totally messed up service. Yes, we provided a 3 page laminated grooming instructions on our first visit (that your staff refused to keep on file) and it was created because a dog can't tell you what's wrong or how to groom them, especially when their human isn't present. The appointment I booked for my dog was done online this time, because no one would pick up your business line. It goes to voicemail. You shouldn't have a online booking option if you're going to complain that I booked the appointment online. In addition, stop calling my phone. If you'd like to communicate with me, it would have to be in written form. read more

I have an older tripod Yorkie I rescued a little over 2 years ago. Belle was the only groomer who would deal with him. He looks so elegant when he comes home.

I recommended her to my daughter (older rescue with issues) and neighbor, no one has been disappointed! They come out happy and strutting! read more

I could not say enough good things about Bella at the Groomery on Glebe. I was extremely hesitant about getting my 4 month old Schnoodle groomed. I am a brand new dog mom and my pup, whose name also happens to be Bella, is only a puppy and had never been groomed before. I was recommended here by a neighbor who has a maltipoo (Daisy) and they had great experiences so I decided to book Bella's first haircut. The prices seemed a little high when I first started my research but I decided to go ahead and book an appointment anyway. The booking processes is so easy, you can do it online or call. I decided to call since I had a few questions since this was our first time. If you are a new customer, mention the free teeth cleaning for your first appointment. I was so nervous to leave Bella and have her get her first haircut but as soon as I walked in I was reassured by the friendly nature of the staff and the cleanliness of the place. I knew when I left that Bella would be in good hands. I really like that Bella (owner) sat down with me and showed me the booklets of how long the hair would be based on what clip length because I had no idea. She walked me through the process and was super knowledgeable in my pup's hair and cut styles. Bella was done on time, even earlier than expected. I liked that it wasn't overly crowded so you know that the groomers are taking their time and focusing soley on your pup. When I arrived to pick Bella up I could not have been any happier. She looked so stinking cute and was HAPPY. I thought her first grooming would be a traumatic experience and it seemed like it was anything but. The staff at the Groomery on Glebe took such great care of my baby and she looked so great. The cut was perfect and she was so clean and smelled amazing!!! I couldn't have been happier, it was worth every single penny. We will 100% be coming back read more
