Molly loves her new hair cut!

Molly loves her haircut ! She is so happy Naoka groomed her so nicely. Thank you!! I will see you again soon.

This one is AFTER her groomers appointment. Can you see the difference with her left eye.
Princess D.

I gave this place 2 stars because the front desk girl (the Asian one with the blonde hair and cut bob) was really sweet and nice. We tried this place because they had good reviews AND it's like a 5-10 minute drive from our condo in kakaako. My one year old Pomeranian needed a cut and we decided to take her here. The groomer was nice, although I could barely understand her and it was so loud in there with all the dogs barking. She cut our baby's fur the way we wanted it... not too short on the body, keep the tail trimmed, and can cut around her face shorter. She did just that. Our baby looked so cute. I loved it... initially. Fast forward to about 20 minutes after we got home. I was looking at our dog... her left eye seems to be smaller in appearance. It looked like she was struggling to keep her left side eye open. After further examination, we saw that her left eye was swollen. IT WAS NOT SWOLLEN WHEN WE DROPPED HER OFF. It is noticeably irritated and looks a bit sore for her. We are going to take her to the vet tomorrow to find out EXACTLY WHY it is like that. I recall the groomer mentioning something about our dogs eye being dry. I know I asked her 3 times to repeat herself because I couldn't understand what she was saying and because it was a bit loud in there. I'm thinking she (the groomer) either cut her eye, or she was wiping our dogs eye so roughly that it severely scratched her eye and made it extremely agitated. I'm not sure how I feel about this place. As of right now, I do NOT recommend bringing your fur baby here UNLESS you KNOW the person who is grooming your dog. Please see pictures of BEFORE grooming and AFTER. take a look at her left eye.

Irritated paw pads from buzzer. 3 out of 4 paws.

I have a one year old pup that I am trying to find a nice quality groomer for. I tried aloha dog for the first time in YEARS and sad to say I was disappointed. When I first arrived outside they all just stared at me as if they didn't know they were taking a grooming that morning. Someone finally came out to welcome me and consult with me. I told them I wanted a round puppy face and trim his hair about an inch. When I came to pick him up, I automatically pointed out several things wrong with his cut. First of all, I was shocked that they were done in an hour. And yes, it looked like a one hour job. They didn't listen to me at all when it came to his face. You can see the buzzer lines down parts of his body and straight up from his chest to the chin (no round face like I asked) instead, he has pointy cheeks now. Basically, uneven buzzing and not the round face that I asked for. Seemed like a $50 rushed job. I also noticed his paw pads were SUPER red and irritated (picture doesn't do it justice). My dog is a shih Tsu maltese and he is a super calm loveable dog so he's not hard to groom and haven't had any complaints with past groomers. I've had shih Tsu/lasa ahpsos my whole life so I do know a good cut from a bad one and notice all the details. I'm very disappointed with the quality and work from this salon. they lost a potential customer. I wish I read some of these reviews before I went in.

Teddy Bear style by Hae (Hey)

They got a new groomer, her name is Hae! She did an awesome job on our toy poodles. The groomer messaged me a week ago before the appointment, asked what kind of style do I want for my babies. All staffs are super friendly and communicative, the place is clean, no smell, your dogs will be very well taken care of! Thank you for the great job and treating my pooches so well!

After haircut with Gio at Aloha Dog :)

I've gotten my puppy Maxwell groomed here twice. I don't remember the name of the lady who trimmed him the first time, but this time Gio gave my doggy a great summer puppy cut. Each time has been a great experience and my dog is always so relaxed with his tail wagging when I pick him up! This is only Maxwell's 2nd time at the professional groomer but Aloha Dog always somehow keeps him calm. I ask for the haircut, anal trim, ear cleaning, paw shaving, and nail trim. I have a very tiny dog (4lb chihuahua shih tzu mix) and I was worried at first because he does not like strangers... but every time Aloha Dog tells me Maxwell did a great job. I am surprised but I will take their word for it haha.

Finally! A pet boarding and grooming shop located right in the heart of Ward area. Aloha Dog is behind ALTRES and next door to Wrenchy's Auto mechanic. The staff was very friendly and as I entered the lobby I see happy doggies roaming around freely, Aloha Dog is a cage free boarding company. It's very clean inside and prices are very reasonable. Go check them out!

Uneven by the snout. Right side is cut more...
Mark H.

Picture is worth a thousand words. Face by the snout is uneven. Much shorter on one side... Need I say more? I think not! P.S. Not clear in the pic, Loki's ears are uneven as well. Woe is my dog!

Love Aloha Dog! Everyone is so nice and kind here, and our puppy always comes out with such a cute haircut! He's kind of skittish, which makes it more difficult to groom than other puppies (I'd imagine) but they still manage to do an excellent job. They even take a cute picture of him after he's done! You get a 10% discount if you book your next appointment within the next 8 weeks at pickup.

I normally take Kobe to a different groomers closer to my home however, they were booked out 2 weeks. A girlfriend of mine took her dog to Aloha Dog and her dog had an adorable grooming so I thought I'd try it. I mistakenly parked in the lot next door but no one complained. Now I know that you can pull right up front. When you walk in they do doggy day care so there was a bunch of dogs in there. I only noticed when I picked up Kobe a dog that kept on barking. I told myself it would drive me crazy like Chinese water torture if I had to hear that barking all day. Anyway, Kobe was really happy when I picked him up and the groomer said he did really well and stared in her eyes the entire time. I got 20% off for our first time grooming plus another 10% off for the next time if I booked his next appointment within 8 weeks. Done! If Kobe's happy, I'm happy and he really liked his groomer so I reserved her for next time. I also read in other reviews that if you go through the evaluation then 2 hours after full grooming is free for the day care side. This is helpful if you are running late. A strong Yay to try out Aloha Dog.

Just like finding a good veterinarian, when you find a good groomer, you stick with them. Manami and her staff continue to provide excellent doggie day care and grooming for our precious little pomeranian-papillon. There weren't as many dogs in the daycare area 5 years ago, but that just means that more people are bringing their dogs to Aloha Dog for daycare or grooming because of word of mouth or good reviews. We've even left our dog overnight when we went to Aulani for a weekend and our dog was wagging her tail when we picked her up. There's a large picture window at front of door where owners peek in when picking up their precious pups. It's so funny to watch all the dogs turn towards the window and start barking. But when your dog sees you at the window, she hops and spins around and gets excited knowing that you're there to pick her up. Keep up the good work, Aloha Dog! Mahalo for taking care of our Buttons.

Post hair-cut Milo!

Aloha Dog is an awesome place to get your dog groomed. My long haired chihuahua, Milo, was long overdue for a grooming--especially with all the covid craziness. He was a little scared when I left him, but he does have a bit of social anxiety. He was sooo happy when I came to pick him up and he looked adorable!!! I can't help but smile when I see him with his new cut. Bonus: he smelled like a puppy after.Bring your pup to aloha dog, you won't be disappointed!

Paula was great! She sat down with us and discussed the issues we were having and got to know our…read moredogs. She gave us some very insightful tips and tricks to help us manage our highly reactive large dog. We are continuing to use her tips and are already seeing improvement in a couple days! We absolutely love her positive energy and would highly recommend her to anyone who needs some help with their reactive dogs.

Where do we even begin with how much we (and our dog Lucca) love Paula?! She trains our dog for an…read morehour every week and trust me, that includes a ton of training for us as owners too, and it's really opened our eyes and minds to how much we have an impact on training our sweet girl. We adopted her about two months ago from a shelter and she came to us with her sweet personality but she was a stray and needs to learn to not pull in her leash and to work on some lunging issues. Paula not only trains her directly but spends time with us as the owners, explaining the "why". She is against using e-collars which thank goodness we never tried and contacted her instead. She focuses on the individual dog's history and personality and living environment and really tailors her training to your dog. She has a firm but kind approach which we love. We have already implemented her easy to follow and remember instructions during the week and see a difference! We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Paula! If you love your dog as much as we do, and your dog could use training, the absolute best thing you can do for them and your relationship with them is to have Paula come in and help! Mahalo Paula!
