    The team here is fantastic!! Brittany worked on my little Rita and treated her like royalty. Rita isn't fond of many folks besides myself, but Brittany has a way with Rita and was able to get her bathed and smelling like blueberries.

    Took my Corgi Gwendolyn to Barkside for the first time. The place was very clean and loved that all the animals were in the front when you walk in. I was very happy with her grooming. I asked them to do a heart on her tail and it was so cute. Usually my girl has a bad attitude when I would pick her up from the other groomers I use to take her too, but she was totally fine when I picked her up. We will be returning in a couple months

    After my MIL having a horrible experience with her dog getting hurt here we decided to give her a second chance, I took my dog to get groomed at 1, it was past 6 and still no call. I arrived at the location sat in my car for 6-10 mintutes I saw how he was just on the table leashed to by his neck, while no one was tending to him. Who knows how long before I arrived was he alone like this. I finally got off and asked how much longer and why he was not getting tended too. She got upset cause I was calling her out and continued to say I'm the owner/manager I'm busy I was just in the other room. Am I was mad and told her that's exactly how our other dog got hurt. The vet stated he was leashed by the neck either too long or got impatient and tried to jump, they don't care for the animals here, how can you just leave why can't you just finish the dog and them go do something else. There's no excuse for that. I still paid because I wanted my dog back I shouldn't have been charged since they didn't even finish him off. Now I have to pay again and take him elsewhere . I wasn't gunna let my dog be in distress until she had the time to finish him. I did advise her she should've warned me she was overbooked and I wouldn't have taken him In. She was so unprofessional. So very disappointed because we wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt in the first place but after witnessing myself. Never again

    We started bringing our 5 dogs here just because of the name and the image on the window. We are huge Star Wars fans and felt the force calling to us! Then we found that they have reasonable prices, great customer service and excellent grooming! We will always bring our dogs here. Best groomer in Long Beach (and I have been to quite a few in my time)

    Always greeted with a smile. Great service as usual. Highly recommend. They are excellent with my dog.

    My little old lady came out so fresh and fluffy!

    My little old girl came out so cute and fluffy! I believe 2 sisters own and run the business and are very friendly.

    One ear slightly longer but otherwise looks great

    Purrfect Pet TERROR!…read more My experience with them. I made an 11:30am appointment for Saturday September 26th, 2026. I dropped my cat Bella off at 11:30am for a grooming and haircut. They said that it would take approximately 4 hours which I thought was a long time but regretfully went with it. I had not heard from them four hours later so I texted them asking how my cat was. They responded that they were still working on her. 5 o'clock rolls around and I'm kinda freaked. I texted again saying that it's after 5p and that I was on my way to pick up Bella. They responded while I was on the way that she was not ready. I get there and asked them what was going on. A heavier set woman with a Richie Cunningham haircut said that she tried to cut her hair before bathing her but her hair was too greasy which is BS btw. Also, they would not let me see her. I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Mistake on my part. It's 5:15p at this point. I went home hoping for the best. 7p rolls around and I'm totally freaking out at this point! I tried calling and no answer so I texted again saying that it was after 7p and asked if she was close to being done. Bella has now been there over 7 hours!! they responded 15 minutes later saying that it was going to cost $110 dollars, cash only and that she was ready to pick up. I went back again, put the money on the table, grabbed my cat and drove home to find her still wet, no haircut and miserable! Infuriating and extremely painful and sad! I'm in touch with the Better Business Bureau as well as this review. Purrfect Pet Parlor has no business being a business in my opinion. Horrible business, horrible people! I am attaching screenshots of our back and forth texts. If you hate your pets and want to torture them, PURRFECT PET PARLOR is your spot!!

Unfortunately, my experience left me very disappointed. I was quoted a base price of $120, with the first 30 minutes of dematting included and any additional dematting billed at $1 per minute. I understood there could be additional charges if my puppy required extra work. However, what I did not expect was for the cost to continue increasing without any communication. Around 8:40pm, I checked in and was told they had just started drying him. Based on that update, I told them to take their time because I believed the appointment was nearing completion. I was never contacted to let me know the bill was approaching several hundred dollars or to ask whether I wanted them to continue. Instead, my puppy remained at the salon until approximately 11:15pm, nearly seven hours after drop-off. After waiting all evening, I was the one who finally texted to let them know I was coming to pick him up because the appointment had gone on far longer than expected. I also let them know it was okay if he wasn't finished, as it was already very late and the appointment had gone on for nearly seven hours. When I arrived, I was told they had spent four hours dematting him, resulting in a final bill of $400. What was especially frustrating is that, despite the lengthy appointment and significant cost, the groom was not completed. I was offered the option to bring him back another day to finish the service. I understand that severely matted dogs require additional time and that groomers deserve to be compensated for that work. My concern is the lack of communication as the cost continued to climb and the amount of time my young puppy spent at the salon for an unfinished groom. A quick phone call to discuss the options or to place a limit on the charges would have gone a long way. I do want to acknowledge that Sivan was kind and professional during our interactions. My concerns are not about the friendliness of the staff, but rather the communication around the cost, the length of the appointment, and the fact that the groom was not completed. Unfortunately, because of this experience, I won't be returning.

Lily recently had an eye surgery, so I was paranoid reading reviews for other groomers. We'd prefer to keep the eye we still have. Soggy Dog definitely lives up to its 5-star reviews! Just in case anyone else is reading this that has a one-eyed dog (or any dog with blindness), Tanyss's most recent rescue is a one-eyed dog too, so that made me feel much better :) APPOINTMENT/COMMUNICATION: I called on Thursday but they were closed for a staff event; they got back to me asap by text & I ended up scheduling for Saturday afternoon. Elle called when Lily was almost done (only 30 mins later). Their communication is very quick and clear so if you have any questions regarding services, feel free to ask ahead of time! PAYMENT: They accept cash and check, but you get free enzymatic teeth brushing if you pay cash! My dog is 9-10lbs & pricing depends on weight, but for an all-inclusive flea bath (nails, teeth, blueberry facial, gland expression) I paid less than $50 before tip. That is significantly less than I've been charged at other places. Tanyss even explained that with the rising costs of living, they strive to make such services affordable :) MY FEARFUL REACTIVE DOG: was very comfortable here. When I picked her up, Elle (we share a name!!) was holding her & Lily wasn't shaking?? She also wasn't desperate to leave; she was so chill?? Keep in mind this is the same Lily who loses it if I bring her to a pet store (another place that smells like a bunch of dogs have been there). Do not get me started on the vet--this chihuahua acts like she's being deployed. She was confused when we first tried to enter, & Elle (as in not me Elle) suggested I pick her up so she doesn't get out of her harness, which is TOO accurate bc that exact thing has happened to us sooooooo many times. Elle clearly knows dogs, haha. But when I picked her up, she couldn't be more chill! PARKING: So turns out you can stop at the red loading zone right in front for pickup/drop-off, & Elle even explained that if the police pull up, they'll bat for you as a client who was literally unloading a dog, LOL. I didn't see the text about the loading zone & ended up parked a few blocks down the street, because parking in this area is a struggle. Use the loading zone! Save yourself!

My Bichon/mini poodle has a super fluffy coat, and I love keeping him in that cute teddy bear style, but most groomers end up shaving him way too short despite my requests. From the very first phone call with Signal Hill Pet Grooming, I knew I had found the right place. The receptionist was incredibly sweet and welcoming, making the appointment process so easy. When we arrived, the groomer, Gloria, greeted us warmly, really listened to what I wanted, and immediately understood exactly what my pup needed. When I picked him up, I was blown away. He looked AMAZING--calm, happy, and honestly like he didn't even want to leave. I love that they're kennel-free, so the dogs aren't locked up before or after grooming. That alone gave me so much peace of mind. This was hands-down the best haircut he's ever had. Not a single nick or cut (which sadly has happened at other groomers), and the entire staff made me feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for.

It was a last minute appointment needed for the little pup and with the help of Yelp, we found Sara. I put in a searched which came up with places for what I was looking for. There were a few places that came up but she was the first to reach out. The sweet conversation explained what I was looking for and she replied professionally with what services they offered. Between a few back and forth we were able to get him in last minute. She squeezed us in day off which we were very thankful of. The place itself was in a mini strip mall with a few other businesses. A thrift/vintage shop, a bar, a few coffee shops, hair salon and nail shop. There's a decent size parking lot but when we arrived it was packed but lucky enough to find a spot. When we walked in, it was a little confusing as it was a vet. The ladies behind the counters were all sweet when we checked in but wasn't sure we were at the right place. Well, it's a vet and groomers on site. It was just a couple minutes wait till Sara came out to greet us. First off, she's such a doll and sweetheart. Very professional and takes pride in what she does. Chatted with here for a little bit about what we wanted before handing over the little pup to her. We were quoted about 2 and half hour or so which she'll call us 20 minutes before hand to let us know he'll be ready soon. Freddie Mercury was in good hand. Picking him up, he was such a cutie. The bathing, cut and grooming was great. Nails were cut and file for that nice finished look. Also he had the cutest little bow tie on which was the little icing on the cake. From the chat on Yelp, Sara explained all the pricing and services ahead of time to give us the breakdown. As it was our first time, she did take good care of us with everything. Total for everything and extra add on including gratuity and discounts for first time, it was just short of 130.00. Price wise for everything was good. It was worth it and her service was very well worth it. Even though we're not from the area and it was a last minute appointment, we're keeping her in our book as we'll be back in town again and know Freddie will be in good hands next time. The place was very professional and clean. There's a drinks section with a mini fridge of drinks and a water station for refilling your bottles and coffee machine. It was busy which is great for them. Sara, a professional and sweet person who has a special skills for what she does. Friendly, sweet and a doll. Highly recommend Sara.
