I've came to this groomer for over 4 months with no issue. But today, I am DONE with this place. I have a bichon frise who I was trying to get the fluffy look. The longer his fur grows, the harder it is to detangle him. When I dropped him off, I told a very young lady who looks about my age (25) that I noticed some mats on his head which was hard for me to brush out. I told her it's ok if she has to trim him. It's happened in the past with other groomers... they would call me to say they need to trim him which is ok with me. Anyway, the owner calls me. Her name is Deb. She was rude from the beginning. She said "He was really matted and she will never do this again." I said why didn't you call me, I would of told you to trim him. She kept going on about how it "hurt him" when she was grooming him because of his mats. I again stated "If it hurts, why didn't you call me and we could of worked out something." She proceeded to berate me saying that she will never do this again and that I need to brush him better. She also said even though I want to fluffy look, she is unable to do that if he's matted. I told her I didn't force her or demand he look that way. Common sense will tell you to call me to refuse the service or ask if she can trim him instead. I became very upset on how she was speaking to me and I started raising my voice because of her attitude. She hung up on me. I kept calling back but when I made it to the Spa, she refused to even look at me. I went up to her and asked why is she acting this way and why didn't she call me to negotiate my dogs grooming. She yelled "I NEVER CUT HIM BEFORE SO I DIDN"T KNOW." I told her I didn't appreciate the reprimand and that I am no longer coming here. I told her we never had an issue all of these months and she kept acting like a victim in a way. Almost like I was rude from the start. It was horrible. I went to the counter to pay and told the lady what's going on. Then Deb interrupted and said she is the owner "So talk to me". I said excuse me but why would I want to talk to you if you're being rude. Who is she to tell me who I can and can't talk to. That's wild to me... She told me to get out repeatedly. I paid and left because especially being black, she more than likely would of called the cops. I don't appreciate the service I got today but I thanked everyone else in the shop for their kindness. I am now reporting her to the BBB and the state because it was totally unacceptable and all of this would of never happened if she called me like an adult to explain her concerns. I have never been this angry with any groomer before. I am not letting this go unresolved. And just for anyone else looking for a groomer, I don't suggest this place because of Deb. It's very clear her moods fluctuate.
I was so upset, I reached out to my mother who actually came with me to drop off my dog when I first moved here. She was so upset and called this business as well to let them know it was unacceptable especially never having issues for MONTHS. read more
