Barks NV Salon & Spa in Sparks is great. Lexi who was out front attending to customers needs and checking in our pets was kind, courteous and professional from start to finish. We took our two small fur babies Tokyo and Delilah in for cuts. They're a bit older, Delilah has lymphomas and Tokyo can be aggressive around other dogs, but in her hands along with the rest of the staff, they're were calm and friendly and their cuts looked great, very well balanced across their bodies maintaining a subtle fluffiness we like our dogs to have. They're reasonably priced and tips for their staff are deserved. Five stars--highly recommended. Call ahead to book! read more

She charges one amount on the phone after me telling her the condition of my dog and then charges a whole different amount when you get there ... I wouldn't of mind paying the difference but it would of been nice for them to tell the customer ahead of time read more

Didn't know what kind of dog I had when I clearly stated in my phone call that he was a Yorkie and I wanted a Yorkie hair cut. Zack now looks like a chihuahua! He looks like a rat. They asked me what kind of a dog he was after the haircut! They didn't even know and they are supposed to be professional dog groomers! We will never take him there again! Back to Petco where they know what they're doing! We live in Reno Nevada and went to the Sparks grooming store! read more

New owner not professional, if she was unable to keep up with scheduled appointments don't make one Or overbook her calendar. When I dropped off, she said I'm running behind, it might be a few hours, says I'm working 7 days a week, plus trying to remodel. She had every dog crate full, was clipping a dog & had a little guy sitting wet in the tub. Which all should have been a red flag but been going to Barks for over a year so I said okay if i have to wait I have to wait. Called me within 1 1/2 (my dog is a large doodle) so I was surprised, a man was checking me out & said the charge is $120, I questioned it because higher than normal, owner comes out & says fine I'll charge $110 since I did a rush job (which my dogs cut reflects) I paid & tipped without anymore questions( rates should be posted though, not made up with each dog) as she hands my dog she murmured under her breath, I said excuse me what did you say, she says sorry it didnt work out, I'm like what? She say I like dogs & not people, then says she's thinning out her schedule. All I can say is wow, she probably won't be in business long if this is how she is going to run it. People bring their dogs to groomers that do a good job, treat their dogs kindly, are honest & treat clients with respect. Good luck Dez, your going to need it. read more

Emily the owner reached out after my grooming visit and we talked and she was very understanding, sympathetic and offered to make it right. The next time Bix needed a groom I took him in and Emily did the grooming. She was able to fit him in early even! He was happy & beautiful when I picked him up! Thank you Emily! read more

They do amazing work on all my dogs ! They deserve a million starts !!! I came to Reno with knowing not one good place to take my dogs . With my first place I've gone to here being not of this establishment ; was a nightmare . Saves me having to travel to Vegas to get my dogs groomed . I found them on Apple Maps one day and got over my fear of the groomers and tried Barks NV out . The staff did such an amazing job on making my dogs look good . Pricing is affordable and they greet you and you fur baby with open arms ! Thank you to everyone that I've worked with . read more

I started bringing my fur baby here a little over 2 years ago and we've been consistently coming here every month now. Everyone here is so friendly and loving to my dog, which gives me peace of mind whenever I drop him off. We used to take him to PetSmart for a bath, but he would be so scared whenever they took him to the back. And then we heard all the stories about them mistreating the animals so we went searching for a new place. I will forever be grateful that we found Barks NV! My dog will literally run from the parking lot to inside their building, he loves being there so much! Their prices are reasonable and they are so quick and thorough. We bring a special shampoo for my dog because he's got some skin issues. But seriously, we love this place! read more

I took my dog in today for her first visit to this groomer. They did a great job. Friendly, timely, and my Rottie looks and smells great! Thank you! read more

I have taken my dog to many grooming salons over the years and this place is by far my favorite. They are attentive to Lily and she can be an anxious and have high amounts of separation anxiety, but she always comes home super happy after her time there. Recommend a 100%! My dog is always clean, brushed, nails trimmed and smells good for a more than fair price! read more

When I adopted one of my dogs, I took him there to get groomed. He was stinky and sad looking and definitely needed the spa treatment. Emily was great and treated us so kindly. She's super outgoing and easy to talk to. CeCe is also great and patient when caring for my 3 dogs that I continue to take in for the occasional nail trim. They also have the most reasonable prices in town. read more

5th time that they made an appt and when I get there, they don't have my dog on the schedule. The last time his groomer rescheduled for the next Monday, make the drive in & the groomer doesn't even work that day! A no-show! Then I get attitude from the rest of the staff on top of it. read more

She does a great job and treat your dog like it was her own. Great groomer and cares about your dog and their well being.

I called on a Monday looking for the next availability on a full service, Lisa was able to get me in at 1:00pm the very next day. I dropped off my lab and was told it'd be anywhere from 45min to an hour. I received a call just before 2:00pm that my lab was ready for pick up. I was running late then forgot my wallet and was still greeted very professionally. My dog looked great and I couldn't be happier with Barks NV's service! Highly recommend. read more

We were so thrilled that our neighbor introduced us to Barks! The team there was so kind to squeeze us into their schedule as we were very overdue for a grooming for our pup. They recommended the best type of groom for her hair and made sure that we were comfortable with everything. She looks so fluffy and is unbelievably soft. Thank you so much! read more

I made an appointment and confirmed when they texted. When I showed up the whole place was closed. Tried calling, waited 20 minutes and nothing. They never called or texted back to check up. read more

Do not go here. Building not up to code, no air conditioning. Took a week for someone to answer the phone for an appointment. Made the appointment anyway as time was an issue. Rudest service at pick up. She probably beats animals as angry as she gets. Never again. Your pet isn't safe here. read more

I told them my dog should not be allowed to run around loose inside the shop. When we went to pick her up, she was loose in the shop. Nope. Not going back. read more

My senior Jack Russell needed a nail trim and he's awful at home when we attempt them (our fault, not his). So, I booked a bath and nails at Barks. It seems silly to give a Russell a professional grooming but guess what...it was amazing! He was so soft and white and smelled lovely, but not overpowering so like some dog groomers. He pranced out of there, I think he knew he was looking GOOD! I booked an appointment for my border collie two days later. Even better results as they got all the dead undercoat out and he too was a shiny puff ball of cute! I've noticed a definite reduction in dog hair in our house over this past week since their grooming. Two breeds of dogs you wouldn't normally think to pro groom, but we're hooked! Our boys will for sure be back for more, especially as they start to shed for Spring. Bonus, both services were complete and under one hour! Plus, affordable IMO! read more

Ridiculously overpriced and pricing doesn't match up with the website, supposedly because they just raised their prices. $60 for a bath and brush out for a medium/large sized dog. Our groomer we typically go to charges $30 for the same exact service. We were never even quoted a price, just charged double the starting price when we picked our dog up. Typically when you go to a groomer, especially with your first visit, they assess your dog and give you a more specific price range - not at this salon. Apparently the "base prices" are for toy sized dogs. read more

This place is fantastic! I don't see myself going anywhere else. It's hard to find a groomer you can trust and they are definitely the ones! They are gentle and my dogs love them. Usually my dogs get anxious going to a groomer but here they had wagging tails the entire time. The owner is great! She has great tips on how to keep them clean around the eyes.(I have two Shih-tzus.) now all I get is compliments on how cute they are and how great they smell! I'd definitely recommend them to everyone! read more

Just got home from a great trip to Bark. My dog has never been to a groomer because I do it all at home but has recently become scared of the clippers. Like REALLY scared. We were told to apply to the Reno Rodeo for gods sake. These ladies were quick and talked to her in a calming voice the entire time. When my dog was really resisting, she invited me to come back to help calm her down which I appreciated a lot. $10 for a nail trim is absolutely PRICELESS if I can keep my sanity and maintain a good relationship with my pup. Can't thank them enough! We will be back..soon! read more

I have been taking my dog to Spanish Springs Groomers for over 5 years, and just recently had a couple not good experiences with them, so I decided to shop around for another Dog Grooming Salon for my little yorkie. She doesn't much care for getting a bath/groomed, and gets anxious. I read the reviews for almost every place in town, and saw that Barks NV Salon and Spa has great reviews and a great rating, so I called to make an appointment and try them out. First off, they answered the phone on the first call, and made her an appointment for a couple days later, which was great, because her hair was getting matted! Upon drop off, she asked what I wanted done and what not. She then took her, let her say bye to me, and put her behind the gate so that she was able to wander around, and not kenneled! Love that, because the last place she was at, kenneled her for almost 5-6 hours each visit, before they even got to cutting her hair! They called me no more than an hour later and said she was almost ready for pick up. that made me very happy, because I hate having her spend half a day at a groomers! When I picked her up, she was beautiful!! They cut her perfectly, trimmed her nails, and made her look like a show dog almost!! She wasn't itchy from the product or smelly deodorizes the other salon would use, she didn't have razor burn or anything. I've never seen her so happy after being at the groomers!! I am very happy about this place, and glad we tried it out. I will definitely be going back!! Just so you can see, her is a before and after pic of my baby girl We are both happy with the experience! Thanks Barks NV, we'll be back read more

Won't be going back and do not recommend. After 2.5 hours and after they technically closed I still hadn't heard from them so I called, no answer, so I showed up and my dog was in a back room barking. They said he was stressed so they put him in another room and they seemed to be chilling. If my dog is stressed, being locked in the room of a strange place isn't going to help. They spent 3 hours for a bath and haircut and cut the ears even though we asked them specifically not to. A bath and haircut was $100. read more

I can not even begin to describe my appreciation for the ladies here! When I first went in, I was a little upset about what they would think because it had been a while since I got my puppy's nails clipped and I was leery of groomers because of such a horrible experience with a groomer at a national pet supply store. I just brought it up, and the lady immediately took my dog back and did his nails! That has NEVER HAPPENED to me before! Emily is without a doubt one of the kindest and most patience people and my boy LOVES to go here! I only have to ask if he wants to go and he runs to the door! I am so grateful for the service these amazing women provide and I'm always happy to recommend them to anyone and everyone! read more

Best groomer we have ever gone to -- and our dog is ten. She's an odd mixed breed and we wanted her shaved along the belly/underside area, short in the paws and lower legs, but left pretty long everywhere else. She could have ended up looking silly, but we were willing to take that risk so she could get rid of some knots and also so she could go for walks without picking up stickers. The result was better than we could have hoped for. She is still as cute as ever and completely knot-free! I also want to add a bit about how well she was treated while in the shop. My dog was very nervous so they gave her some time to sniff around and get comfortable. Also, my dog can get mouthy so we told them she could be muzzled, but they didn't feel the need to do so and she didn't even attempt to nip at them. That tells me they put her at ease throughout the process. Thank you to a truly wonderful groomer! read more

I decided to take my 75lb Boxer/Shepard mix boy here for a self-groom today and had lots of fun. It was a pretty big job for me to do myself, so I'm glad that I brought my MIL along for the ride. Stephanie was very nice and helpful, as was the rest of the staff. Thank you for the experience and we hope to be back soon! read more

I am so upset and disappointed. I get it we are all going through a tough time but there is no excuse to mistreat an animal because you are either behind and or you scheduled more appointments than you could handle. I would have preferred that you rescheduled instead of having someone coming in earlier and then half ass a job and not full complete it. Not only that but seeing how traumatized/cut/bleeding my dog came home. This was our second time going there but never again will I be coming back nor will I recommend anyone here. People please be aware!!!! ZERO STARS read more

I took my two pups today to Barks NV for a bath/brush, nail trim - basically a good "spring cleaning". Daisy, my 13 year old husky mix, hates baths. I just cannot physically give her a bath anymore & the poor thing freaks out. Sulley, my 3 year old German Shepherd mix (both adopted from SPCA, yay rescues!) was used to home baths and a few professional groomings at his daycare. I was anxious about having them both go together since Daisy's anxiety would be high, but I have to say it went pretty well. I booked my appts with Emily a few weeks ago (these ladies have been busy!) and both my dogs were bathed by Heather. Both Emily and Heather are lovely, kind, patient & caring with all the dogs. I just picked them up and they look fantastic! They are squeaky clean and their nails look great! Thank you so much, Heather! :) I feel relieved to have found such a great grooming place for my puppers! Great job, ladies! :) read more

Took my Chiweenie to this place sunday at 1pm. Right when we got in she was excited and peed on their fake gas lol i hope that was the intention of the fake grass. If not im so sorry! We dropped her off. We went to eat next door. Went to go get her and she was happily following the guy who helped us. She loved this place, I'm bringing her back here for sure! Thank you for the amazing service. read more

Someone got in touch with me right away! (Impressive) When I dropped my mini golden doodle they were very excited to have him and being his first hair cut I was nervous. They finished him promptly and when my husband went to pick him up , he was playing happily with a few of the girls in the back:). His cut was great, I didn't want him to look like a poodle! This is a before and after. Thank you! We'll be back! read more
