I started taking my fur baby to Uptown Pet Salon since 2013. I always request the lion cut for my kitty because its just so cute. The owner Maria is so nice, even though i know its not easy to give my kitty her salon service! I'm a loyal client because my baby always looks great after her visit. It makes a huge difference not only for less cat hair floating around my house, but you can see how much happier my cat feels after she is groomed. Especially in the summer months. I can usually schedule with short notice, which is helpful. It's amazing that they have always been so consistent after all these years! I wouldn't trust any other pet groomer for the job and neither would my lil fur baby! read more

Love this place! The before and after for my pup speaks for itself. It was his first pro grooming ever and I was nervous he wouldn't be able to get groomed since he won't even let me brush him! I dropped him off and pointed to a picture of a dog in the wall and left to hang out at a nearby cafe just in case. I was able to pick him up about an hour and a half later and was absolutely shocked at how great he looked. He's especially prone to tear stains but they cut his face down short enough that they haven't been sticking around which is awesome. I'm only able to trim his face with kid scissors when he sleeps! Gem of a place; a no muss, no fuss local business with nice staff and reasonable prices. read more

Uptown Pet Salon Co - before and after - Pet Groomers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We have been loyal customers of Maria and Uptown Pet Salon since they were Dogs and Cats Grooming over 12 years ago--and continued to take both our first and second doodles to them. We have always been happy with their service, specifically we have liked availability of appointments, quick turnaround so our doodle doesn't spend all day in their shop and fair pricing. They do the same cut every time, so that part is easy enough. This week, after almost 5 years taking our second doodle to them, a brand new receptionist told us at pick-up that the price had been raised 25% due to the size of the dog, the new year and his behavior. None of this had been communicated when I made the appointment--or at any point in our previous 5 years of getting our dog groomed, so all of this came as a surprise. When I called to speak with the owner/groomer to make sure I understood their concerns and pricing, the receptionist refused to let me speak with them and was not at all interested in my feedback or concerns. We have referred many friends to Uptown Pet Salon and never received any thanks or appreciation from them. This loyal customer will find somewhere else to have our doodle groomed. read more

I am so happy I tried this place, they do an amazing job with my pup. I only take her here now, their availability is good, they are so kind and sweet with my dog and make me feel comfortable leaving her. Prices are fair too which is hard to find in the city! read more

I had to get my medium-hair cat a sanitary shave and the staff was so accommodating and did a great job getting me exactly what I asked for. This is a great local business to support for pet grooming needs. read more

I brought in my cat and was called to pick her up shortly after I dropped her off. They told me she was too aggressive to groom. I understand that. However this is my first time grooming a pet; I had assumed that if they don't ask me about an aggressive pet, they are equipped to handle anything with medications, restraints, etc. I wasn't asked beforehand about my cat's personality or "special circumstances ". If I was asked beforehand I would have told them about her frightened personality and I wouldn't have wasted my time or theirs going back and forth. The receptionist is super rude and curt and unhelpful and when I told her I wasn't happy with the way things were handlers she told me to "just pick it up" and the line went silent. There is no cat in the world that sits quietly and purrs while being groomed. Cats are frightened and can become aggressive during bathing or shaving; I thought this was common knowledge. I never get so upset over customer service or write a bad review for that matter, but I am so annoyed and upset with the way this was handled. read more

Blanka was delightful and did a fantastic job on both my dog's nails. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much!

Do not take your dog here!! Would give 0 stars if i could!! Before preforming any service on my dog i was contacted by the owner who does the cuts on the dogs im assuming , she asked what kind of cut i needed on my dog i told her all i needed was a fur trim, he is an Australian Shepard so he has long fur. We came home with the fastest service I've ever experienced, and the WORST. never has he returned from any groomer looking this bad! For starters the fur cut is completely botched, uneven lengths of fur behind his legs and face. His fur is cut to its absolute shortest possible length any more and it would've been considered a shave. I called the business and asked to speak to a manager who i guess is the owner as well! She seems to run this place alone. The owner for starters claims this job is a fur trim and not a full blown cut?? On top of that she simply said "i dont know what to tell you im not going to apologize for the service that you asked for". Clearly they have very little experience in working with different breeds because all groomers should understand that the aesthetics for different breeds differ. The business owner did not offer any help to try and fix the situation. To top everything off she hung up on me!! When paying $70 plus TIP you are paying for a service that is well executed. This is the worst groomer that I've ever experienced and the worst possible costumer service. Do not trust these inexperienced people with your pet. Its sad to see this nasty behavior coming from a small business, with this attitude theyll lose any possibility of having new costumers in the future. read more

I am seriously so disappointed in Uptown Pet Salon after having taken my dog there for years. They have always done a pretty good job, nothing spectacular, but always consistent. They are usually able to accommodate my dog pretty quickly, so that's appropriated. However, the last experience was so upsetting because when I arrived to pick up the price they gave me was $80 (normally it's $60). So after going back and forth, the lady just snips that she would give me that price, but the last time! I checked with my partner who usually picks the dogs up and the reason they have it there system for $80 is because he leaves a $20 tip!! So now she's telling this is the regular price now. We are definitely done using this place and if you decide to take a chance, MAKE DOUBLE SURE YOU GET THE PRICE UPFRONT!!! read more

We recently took our baby Biggie to a grooming appointment at this amazing find! We were more than happy with the professionalism and job well done. We had taken Biggie, a Havanese poodle to other places before and all they would do is shave him. Not this place, the lady that attended to him was genuinely interested in what we needed and wanted done to him. When we picked him up he looked perfect. You can tell it was done with care and patience. Very pleased! read more

My cat needed an overdo nail trim. I called the store where my groomers work and a snippy salesperson said, "NO, there aren't any groomers here today, and YES there will be Saturday." (Won't mention the name of the store because overall its staff and services are 5 star.) OK. So I checked Yelp and found Uptown was ten minutes' walk from my apartment. I had an ah-HA moment ("Oh, that little store front.") but what clinched my visit was a review from a woman about her Maltese and what a great job the salon did. Walking home from work, I saw that woman and her dog last week. The dog did look terrific. (At least I hope she's still going to Uptown.) Anyway, I called and was told to come anytime before 5 PM same day without an appointment. Very nice woman took my cat immediately and was back with him in about ten minutes. No fuss, no attitude: pleasant, professional and kind. It's good to have two options for nail trims. BTW, I'm from and living in Chicago. Why Yelp insists on putting me in San Francisco, I don't know. read more

Never had an issue with grooming my dog, I but took her here for the first time and she was returned shaking and smelling like she's been laying in waste. Sloppy job overall, very little compassion and poor quality care. wouldn't recommend, especially for the price read more

How can I say enough good things?! I tried to DIY my pup's haircut and needless to say, it turned out horribly. I called around to different places to help me fix him and no one could fit us in until the angel at Uptown Pet Salon said she could see us in an hour. She was so kind on the phone and in person, and did a PHENOMENAL job fixing the mess I made. She also didn't judge or say anything other than kind words which I appreciated because I was so embarrassed to begin with. Support a local business and Take your pup here. You will not regret it!!! read more

I did not care for this place and won't be back. Tried it out because our regular groomer at a nearby business was booked and we wanted our pup to look fresh for big family get together this weekend. They were able to take him promptly, which was a plus. Not a very friendly greeting or bedside manor. Attempts to get pricing from them upon showing up that morning took more work than I expected. They then threw out a number at least $10 higher than our normal (and pricey, but worth it, I now realize) groomer. I mentioned that our normal groomer charges x and they then agreed to match I was called an hour later. When I walked in I could hear him whimpering, which is unusual and did not make me feel good. They cleaned his ears (which was never discussed), did not clip his nails (they were sharper but definitely not shorter) and gave him a weird buzz cut that felt spiky and almost sharp to the touch. They even shaved his nether regions, which I did not like. This was not what was discussed. Furthermore we found that he's super sheddy and has a lot of loose hair- almost like they washed and dried and then cut. I'm sorry, one of the benefits to a groom is to cut down on the shedding for a bit. read more

Fabulous job of grooming Teddy. He looks beautiful and all of our instructions were followed to perfection. We will gladly take our sweet Yorkie Pappalion mix back for another grooming when he needs it. Everything about Uptown Pet Salon is five stars. Thanks. read more

I needed a last minute groom for my Maltese, and most shops in Andersonville require a couple of weeks advance notice. This business was able to see my pup within four hours of my call! To be honest, when I dropped him off I was let down by the appearance of the shop. I actually questioned if I should leave him or not - it's just a storefront that looks a little run down. But let me tell you - this was the quickest, best, least expensive cut I have gotten for my dog in years. On top of that, the woman who runs the shop is very sweet. Her kids were there when I dropped off and picked up my dog. Quite frankly, I'd rather my money go to this family than to any larger store. My pup was very happy, clean, and well groomed and only ONE HOUR later! We will definitely be back. Please know you can trust this business! read more

If you don't groom cats, DON'T SAY you groom cats!!! Maybe you do nail trims, and that's fine, but I brought my cat in for a shave and a few minutes later my cat was returned to me with just one spot of hair shaved...basically a botch job. Look, she's a cat. And even though she's a very sweet and social cat, she's going to protest a bit. I wasn't allowed in the back where they took her and it sounded like it was just one woman and a little kid. If you're going to put a razor to my cat, an adult better have two hands on her for her safety and yours. I wasn't charged, thankfully, but I just can't believe that after a few minutes she gave up. She could have asked me for help to calm her, or better yet, have an assistant!!! I'm super disappointed. read more

Uptown Pet Salon Co - My cat's botched shave... - Pet Groomers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Their prices are LITERALLY one of the best in the city of Chicago. I cannot stress this enough. And the quality grooming is just as great as any fancy fufu pet salon....if not better. I wish I could write a 5 star review for every time I come into the salon bc I seriously think they are wonderful! I used to live down the street but recently moved to Michigan. I have tried every groomer in my new town & they've all done a horrible job. (I'm EXTREMELY picky) I finally decided to continue getting my dog groomed at Uptown Pet Salon. So now about 3 times a year we plan on making a trip back to Chicago just to get an awesome quality cut! We also recently brought my dad's dog in for a cut. He has crazy hair & we thought it'd be funny to do a lion cut. OMG We laughed sooo hard by the time they were done with him. They did such a perfect job that he literally looked like a mini lion. I never even in a million years expected them to do such an an amazing job on him. Compliments left & right! For first timers, if you're nervous, bring in photos. That always helps in making sure you get exactly what you want! They do an amazing job & the staff is so nice. I promise you will not be disappointed if you try this place! read more

Great deal on dog nail trimming. You can park in front and be in and out in less than 10 minutes.

So thankful for Uptown Pet Salon! My long-haired kitty Maya had a bit of a messy "emergency". Everyone else I had called required weeks notice and I was so desperate to get her to a groomer so she wouldn't have to stay cooped up in the bathroom! Thankfully I came upon Uptown and they squeezed me in within HOURS! I'm pretty sure they stayed late just to get Maya seen, which is above and beyond. They were so sweet and gentle with her, I couldn't be more happy as a pet mama! She looks and smells brand new read more

We moved out of the area but brought our dog McLovin back to this groomer after bad experiences at other places. We love the care they give.

Excellent job!I felt comfortable leaving my pets there.fast,efficient and my pups were beautiful !

I decided to get my cats hair cut because she sheds so much and she's kind of a lazy groomer. I brought her in today and they did such a great job! She looks adorable and seems very happy to get all that fluffy hair off her. My sister also brings her cats to uptown pet salon. Highly recommended! read more

Fantastic groomer for our wire fox terrier. And does a great job clipping nails on dogs that hate it. Highly recommend!

The best in the city! Great prices and excellent service. I live nearby and can always call the day of and get an appointment for my schnauzer/yorkie mix. They are also the fastest groomers I've experienced. 100% recommend!! read more

My 15-lb terrier mix is a rescue, and though he is a happy, people loving guy most of the time, he turns into a seemingly ferile, super strong, snarling beast with when it comes to clipping his nails (despite my efforts to train him out of this behavior). I live alone, so I don't have anyone around to help restrain him, and he knows a muzzle as soon as he sees one. I have taken him to Petsmart (who refused) and my veterinarian, who was only willing to clip his nails under full sedation - and $125 and a few months later, I noticed that the vet failed to cut one of my dog's dew claws, which had now grown in a circle. To make my situation more frustrating, I cannot drive my dog back to this vet because my car was recently stolen. SO - I called Dogs & Cats Grooming this morning, and they got me and my beast in immediately. He was horribly behaved, and though they had to restrain him, they were actually able to clip his nails (and charged me only TEN dollars). They are the only folks around that have been willing to help me. I am extremely grateful that another place didn't turn me away, and wish my dog was less of a hassle. I should note that a few other folks dropping off their dogs expressed nothing but love for this place - they are nice, professional, conveniently located, and inexpensive. Thank you, Dogs & Cats Grooming. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your willingness to do whatever it took, since this has been a pretty huge source of stress for me (and my pooch). read more

I took my dog Maui in for a haircut, nail trim, ear, and teeth cleaning last week. The staff here was all super friendly and attentive. My dog is a young yorkie and is always nervous. In the past, Maui always got extra nervous going to salons, and would often bark at the employees. When we arrived he was very calm and the hair dresser was very gentle and sweet. Maui was surprisingly calm and was willing to stay with the hairdresser. After picking him up, not only did he look super handsome, but he was still very calm and happy. I highly recommend this facility, and I know I will be coming back again! read more

I have been to this place a few times to have my pooch's nails trimmed. $5 for a quick trim, which is as cheap as I've seen. Last week, I brought my 60lb goldendoodle here to be groomed for the first time. He was getting matted and needed an overall clean up. I wanted him one length all over, and they did exactly what I wanted. I was able to get a same day appointment, dropped him off at 1pm, picked him up at 3pm and he looked fantastic! I am so happy with the way he is cut, how clean his ears are, how good he smells and how good he looks. I will definitely go back. The price was $60, which is a fair price for his size/breed. read more

I called the salon at 10:30am & they asked me to bring my dog in right then if I could. They gave me an estimated cost of $40-$60 & a time of about an hour & a half. I have a 70lb siberian husky. The only charged me $50 & got him done in an hour & a half!! The first place I ever brought him they took over 5 hours & didn't even finish him. Needless to say, this place is amazing. I will definitely be bringing my pup back. read more

I won't take my dogs anywhere else. My dogs always come out looking wonderful, whether It's just a wash and brush or a summer haircut. I should also mention that both of my dogs have a generally nervous disposition (in their own ways). Whenever I pick them up they are calm, happy, and content. Of course I care about the quality of the grooming itself, but I also care about (even more so) how my dogs are treated while they are there. The owner genuinely cares about every animal that comes in and treats them like her own. There are other grooming shops closer to me, but I insist on this one. I would recommend them to EVERYBODY! I'm also not a yelp a-holic. I've basically written maybe 3 other reviews on local businesses that I really love and believe deserve more noise. The icing on the cake is the prices are VERY reasonable and competitive. read more

I've taken my cat here twice for a lion's cut. Originally went here because I called around and it's the cheapest place close to my apartment. They charge $50 for lion's cut and nail trim. All the other places I called charge over $60. Both times I called last minute and they were able to get me in that day. I drop my kitty off and she's usually ready two hours later. They do a great job and my kitty always smells so pretty after. There is also usually space out front to pull right up and park for a second at the curb. read more
