Mixed feelings. Judy accepts walk-ins then quickly and safely clipped my dogs nails. I was…read moreincredibly impressed with her confidence and ability. I held my dog in position, she clipped. By the way if you call, she does not answer her phone. She told me she ignores it because she's always too busy with the dogs. What I was extremely concerned about is the place is a pig stye. It's incredibly filthy and dirty. The nail clippers and grooming table were disgusting dirty. I watched my dogs nails for a week looking for signs of infection. I shudder to think of the potential for disease spread in here. I would never ever actually leave my animal there. It's gross. I do not know if there is a governing agency that checks on places like this, like a restaurant has to pass inspection. This place would never ever pass. But man she can clip nails. Even long claws which are overdue for a good clipping. I will continue to go for quick accurate nail clippings because she really knows how to do it safely. My skiddish dog was done before she had time to freak out. I will just keep an eye out for infections.

I have been bringing my dog (a 15lb shih tzu) to Colleen for grooming every 5 weeks since June…read more2017. After almost 5 years with her, it's hard to know where to start with this review. Colleen is incredibly kind-hearted and attentive. She always puts your pet's safety and comfort first. We spent time at the beginning of each appointment just chatting and letting my dog roam around her space, so he had time to get comfortable and Colleen could get to know us, our needs, updates, etc. At the end, she also gave me an overview of what happened during the grooming session (sometimes he can be a little troublesome, especially with his nails getting trimmed, while other times he is an angel). Colleen is a very honest and direct person, which may be off-putting to people who aren't used to that sort of personality, but I highly appreciate it. She is extremely knowledgeable and willing to share that knowledge to help improve your pet's well-being and relationship with you. Again, she does all this with kindness, respect, and patience. We had a regular recurring schedule with her, but whenever there was a holiday or I had to leave for a trip, Colleen was always flexible and accommodating with adjusting our appointments or open to having my friend drop off my dog to her instead of me. Our appointments were usually about 1.5 hours long (15-30 mins of which were spent talking), so I often went to Big Mug Coffee down the street on El Camino (also highly recommended) to wait out the grooming session with a coffee and pastries. Colleen is incredibly passionate about what she does. She almost always gave my dog an extra cute little bandana or bow tie (which she makes herself!) after every session, and one year she also gave us an adorable personalized Christmas ornament. It really just told me how much she cares. I was so sad when I finally told her that we were moving, and because of Colleen, the next groomer that we have to find will have a very high bar to meet.

Colleen deserves 10 stars for the fabulous job she has done with our 10 year old Pomeranian,…read moreAshley. Here's the story .... Like most Pom's, Ashley started out with a beautiful, thick coat, requiring a good amount of bathing and brushing, to keep her looking her best. Over time, with a house full of small children, and other obligations and distractions, I did not keep up with the grooming enough, and so she started to get her share of matted hair. Then, when she would get a bath and I tried to brush her, it got to be painful for her. My sweet little Pom started to become Cujo, every time she saw a hair brush. Not good. Finally, I decided to take her to Petsmart in Milpitas for "professional" grooming. Their solution was a complete disaster. They shaved her, sparing only a mane around her face, making her look like a little lion. This is completely inappropriate for a Pom .. but that was the least of our problems. Serious skin.follicle damage prevented her coat from properly growing back in. My vet even tested her for health issues, thinking she might have a nutritional disorder. Another local groomer did their best for her, but still her coat was quite thin, and really had lost its original beauty. I pretty much accepted things as they were, but would never encourage others to shave a Pomeranian. Frankly, I feel like the shop that pulled this number should have their license yanked. As I got busy with work, my dear wife started to make the runs to the groomer every six weeks. She had a less than ideal experience with the groomer I had been using, when she drove in rush hour traffic to drop the dog off for an appointment, only to learn that something had come up and so they needed to see the dog another day. My wife had had enough, so she decided to seek a groomer who she felt might our needs better. She came across Colleen and Lovin' All the Babies. Colleen made sure that we checked with our vet to be sure there were no health issues contributing to the damaged coat, and used her experience and gentle products, helped Ashley to regain her beauty. If someone looks at a photo of our dog from a couple years ago, they probably would not believe that it is the same dog seen today. I cannot thank Colleen enough for all she has done for our dog, but I do urge others to support this wonderful groomer.

I also appreciated how easy communication was--they texted me when he was ready, and the whole process from payment to pick-up was simple and smooth. Highly recommend!

We've been taking her here for almost two years now. Still super happy with them!…read more They take excellent care of my service dog. Although she has turned into a little faker, making a big deal about being abandoned, and then as soon as we leave she's kissing everyone and enjoying her spa time. They have a nice clean place, and clearly love their work. Also: OMG this time they gave her a little sunflower for her collar and I LOVE IT! one more thing I want to mention is that my dog is a service dog for medical alerts, she alerts on me when my blood sugar tanks. So she tends to get a little worried when she cannot smell me. But the ladies here take such good care of her, and they are mindful about using low scent and no scent options and leaving the perfume off so as not to interfere with her work. And I just want them to know I really appreciate that because they help her save my life by taking care with this. Thank you so much.

Very disappointing and frustrating experience!…read more The groomer canceled our appointment at the very last minute--literally LESS THAN 3 HOURS BEFORE the scheduled appointment! I booked this appointment one month in advance, confirmed it again a week ago, and even received an appointment reminder the day before. Despite all of that, I received a text message less than three hours before the appointment saying that the groomer was canceling because she is pregnant and only two weeks away from her due date. I completely understand that pregnancy and childbirth are unpredictable, and I sincerely wish her a safe and healthy delivery. However, I find it extremely frustrating that an appointment was scheduled with a client when she was already so close to her due date. At two weeks away, there is a very real possibility that plans may need to change at any time. If there was significant uncertainty about being able to work, I believe appointments during this period should not have been accepted in the first place--especially when clients have to make arrangements, take time off work, and plan their schedules around the appointment. Now I am left scrambling to find another groomer at the last minute. Anyone who has a dog knows how difficult this can be. Good groomers are often booked weeks, sometimes even a month, in advance, so finding a comparable replacement with only a few hours' notice is extremely difficult and stressful. What makes this even more disappointing is that I specifically chose this groomer because of the stellar Yelp reviews. I thought we were choosing a highly recommended groomer for our fur baby and were looking forward to finally trying the service. Unfortunately, we will never know whether she is actually a good groomer, because after this experience, we will not be using this business.
