TL;DR You can trust Hair O' The Dog Salon with your precious fur baby. They are seriously awesome!…read more We got our darling little chunky monkey, Yeti, on July 11th, and he immediately changed our world forever! He's a now utterly precious almost six month old Havanese (which is the sturdiest of the toy breeds, by the way), and, about a month ago, we knew that we needed to shop around for the perfect groomer for our little guy! We read that puppies with high maintenance grooming needs should be brought to the groomer very young to start getting socialized to the whole experience, so we started checking out different spots to find the one that we most trusted to begin this process with. Hubby and I, of course, scoured the Yelp reviews and began investigating the various highly-rated places around us in North Austin. We brought our then five pound baby along for the ride, and it wasn't until we stepped into Hair O' The Dog Grooming Salon that we knew, without a single solitary doubt, that this was the one! It was just the way that they lovingly grabbed him out of my arms and started showering him with kisses and cuddles! Everyone else had been so cold and matter of fact, but the ladies here were just so warm and enthusiastic, and Yeti was a happy little wiggle butt in all of their arms. Love at first sight, all the way around! They knew exactly what was needed, and they offered me a white board and marker to make communication with them a breeze! We scheduled his first puppy experience for that next Saturday at 9:30am, and they showed me the large kennel on the floor right by the action where they would let Yeti observe from at first. They encouraged me to bring his blankets, treats, and toys to deck out his space, so you know that I totally did! He came out of that first experience (just some very gentle maintenance grooming) so buttoned up and, most importantly, happy as a clam! They even sent me a picture of him in a zombie apocalypse, which was too adorable (see my pics). I threw it right up on social media, naturally! They then scheduled his first real cut for the next month, which is today, so here we are at home waiting for our little dumpling to be ready. The awesome ladies over there have been communicating regularly, and they just sent me his before picture! This review has already gotten ridiculously long, so I'll just leave you with this: I have zero nerves or fears about our precious puppy being in their hands right now, and that is HUGE. The energy there is beautiful, and this is one of those places that I would happily give more than five stars to, if I could! I'll pop the after pictures up when we get him. Thanks for reading, y'all, and run, don't walk, to Hair O' The Dog Salon, if you're in need of a grooming spot that seriously goes above and beyond and honestly makes you and your pup feel like family. HIGHLY recommend!

He always loved the groomers here and he comes back energetic like a weight is lifted off of him. When I moved to South Austin I tried a couple other groomers closer to me but didn't realize they used clippers and weren't doing a thorough job so his double coat got very compacted. We returned to this groomer and he is back to his old self. They did an amazing job deshedding him, got his fur feeling soft and fluffy again, and answered all my questions over text. It is so worth the drive and we don't intend to bring our dogs anywhere else again.

I had a terrible experience with this mobile grooming service. They claim to service downtown…read moreAustin, but clearly don't know how to navigate or park in the area. Before the appointment, I gave clear instructions to park behind my apartment and even confirmed with my building that they were allowed to stay for up to two hours. Despite this, they repeatedly called and texted me confused about where to park, sending photos of signs that said "no parking." I reassured them multiple times that they had clearance and there would be no issue. After coordinating everything, I carried my 18-pound cat down 18 floors to meet them in the back alley--only to find that they had left. They then told me they refused to proceed due to the "risk" of getting fined. I was left standing in an alley holding my cat while juggling calls from multiple numbers trying to coordinate between dispatch and the groomers. I even offered to meet them at a nearby parking garage if that made them more comfortable, but they refused. If you advertise service in downtown Austin, you should be prepared to handle the realities of parking in that area. This was a complete waste of time and incredibly frustrating. I would not recommend this company.

Hands Down the Best Groomer Ever!…read more I can't say enough good things about this groomer! If your pup is nervous or has had bad grooming experiences in the past, this is the person you need. She has a true gift with dogs--patient, gentle, and incredibly intuitive. What felt impossible with my anxious dog became a total success in her care. She doesn't just groom--she connects, making your pet feel safe and comfortable. The results speak for themselves, and so does the wagging tail! On top of that, her pricing is more than fair, and her customer service is unmatched. She treats you and your pet like family from start to finish. I honestly wouldn't go anywhere else. Highly, highly recommended!
