This location just opened in recent time. I decided to try it out because my dog used to get his grooming done at the same location by different owners and a different name, Wiggly Butts. I went in before my dogs appointment to check the owners out. The young lady at the front
( Catherine) who said she was the front manager or perhaps the office manager. I can't remember specifically what she said her title was but she was nice at the time. My dog was with me so I told her that I didn't want him shaved down for sure because it was the winter time. That was important to me. I dropped him off the next morning a little earlier to meet with the groomer to explain to her that I didn't want him shaved down. The groomer understood and said that she would follow my order. Well when I picked him up, he was shaved. The groomer said it was an accident. She messed up on his cut. I was a bit frustrated. Of course I still paid but I did not tip the groomer and i normally would. Then I called back up there to share my experience with the office manager Catherine but was told she was on lunch. I left a message for her to call me. I never heard from her. I attempted to call back up there that same day before they closed but received no answer. I called the Kennesaw location which i shared my complaint to the person that answered the phone to see if they could pass me along to a manager, owner or whoever that was in charge.. She took my contact info and I never heard from anyone. Although, I had an experience where the groomer and was frustrated, I could tell my doggie was happy. He wasn't mistreated or anything. I always can tell when things doesn't go well with his grooming process because he appears under distress and he is not himself. I wanted to give Befur and After a 2nd chance. I called about a couple months later ( which was today 5/13/2020) and spoke with Catherine. I explained to her my last experience but I wanted to give them a try again because at the end of the day when I picked my puppy up, he was happy! She never apologized or anything like that but just listened. Then I mentioned to her that I noticed that his nails wasn't cut nor grind so I had to pay and take him elsewhere to get that done. I told her that if the nail and nail grind comes with the grooming then I would like it done. She commented that some dog nails are shaped a certain way and you really can't tell if it is done but I explained to her that I know it wasn't done and I know I can always tell when my dog's nails are cut and grind but she was over talking me. At the time when I picked my dog up, she wasn't even there to witness his nails. Instead of her saying, okay ma'am, we will make sure his nails are cut and etc.. she started getting rude. You want to always give business to where you feel appreciated, not where you are treated poorly. Customer Service is very important. They make pictures look great on the website and encourage people to post good reviews but your customer service is wack! I literally told the young lady never mind and hung up. There are a ton of grooming spots all over Kennesaw, Marietta and ATL. I will drive miles and miles for excellent customer service. I don't mind paying whatever or even extra for good service. I was even willing to try them again but if i chose you of all the groomers, treat me how you would want someone treat you. Granted mistakes happen, we are frustrated for a moment and move on but for someone to give you a 2nd chance, appreciate them! This was my experience with Befur & After! read more
