As a former employee, I can tell you, the groomers always give their all and treat all pets as if they were their own. It is non-stop doting over each and every dog. You are the only person to love your dog more than the employees of Bubbles Pet Spa. The lengths that I have seen employees go to make customers and dogs happy is incredible, even if pleasing them is near impossible. Unlike Petco or Petsmart, graduating to be a groomer is a very long process. No one learns to groom unless they are VERY ready and have been handling dogs for quite a while (years). This high standard guarantees that the person working on your dog is extremely competent. Any advice given by groomers is honest and well-informed and should really be heeded. read more

Aleachea is great!!! I have been going to her over year now and my baby comes back clean and looking very handsome!

I tried this place for the first and last time. I do not normally take my time to complain online-but this is an exception. I have a mini poodle that gets hand scissored when groomed. I called twice to make sure that they had a groomer that had alot of experience with poodles and with hand scissoring. I was assured that the manager of the mnhtn bch salon would be a great fit- her name was ai. I am very picky about how I wanted him groomed. I gave a picture, i wrote it all down, and i had an in person discussion. He looks like a MESS! I asked for his armpit and innergroin to be shaved shorter and faded into the rest of the area. Instead- he now has BALD spots- no fading at all. I asked for his face to be a round circle cut (an eskimo look, not to cut off the hair under the chin), and the eyes to be shorter - but to FADE it. The eyes looked - BUGEYED! His hair is a circle cut in HALF- she did exactly what i asked for her NOT to do- 4 times i asked. When she was finished, I expressed my disapproval and she said "ok" and basically didnt care at all. Afterwards, I noticed the craziest thing- their was missed parts. So his head- had big chunks of long hair that wasnt cut, same with his body and his paws. So I had to cut them myself- that is completely unprofessional and I was charged extra too!!! I am completely disgusted with the results. read more

I'm not the type of person to spend my free time expressing my disappointment online, so please note that I wouldn't be writing this review if Bubbles Pet Spa didn't blow me off in response to my understandable frustration from last week's appointment. Management has shown no interest in remedying the situation which has ultimately led me to leave a review on Yelp. I spend a lot of time and money taking my Bichon Frise to Bubbles on a monthly basis in order to maintain his beautiful coat. Anyone who is familiar with a Bichon's coat should understand how difficult it is to maintain a spectacular white, tangle-free coat. My dog went from over 2 inches long to 1/4 of an inch with a huge chunk of fur missing behind his ear. I knew there was a nickel size knot behind my dogs ear, but I made a point to show this to the groomer who examined my dog and reassured me that it wouldn't be a problem. If it wasn't a problem, why does my dog have a bald patch behind his ear? Why would the groomer even THINK it was okay to shave my dog down to a 1/4 inch when I've been bringing him into Bubbles every 2-3 weeks to maintain his gorgeous long Bichon coat???? All of my hard work and money ($56 a month at Bubbles) to maintain my Bichon's coat has been destroyed because of a careless groomer who was overbooked that day and rushed to finish a quick shave job on my dog. The groomer (Yvonne) was so careless that she didn't even bother checking my grooming notes in my profile history at Bubbles. I know this because the manager explained that miscommunication to me today. How did management respond to my reaction to a shaved Bichon? They provided me with a number of excuses for shaving my dog from 2 inches to a 1/4 inch and cutting a chunk out of my dog's fur behind his ear. When I explained that these sounded like excuses, the manager agreed. I wrote to Bubbles only to express my disappointment , not looking for a refund or any sort of compensation. It's a good thing that I didn't set my expectations very high because the only thing they gave me was a bunch of excuses. If you want a groomer that doesn't listen to your requests, misleads you when examining your dog, and doesn't bother reading your grooming history in the computer, then Bubbles Pet Spa is your place to go. read more

Terrible! I've given them a few different tries, and they did a bad job every time! This last time i went, they actually cut my dogs paw and caused her to bleed, and then when i came to pick her up, i noticed that they cut her nipple and she was bleeding there as well. they didn't even realize there was blood all over her belly! they are careless and do not pay attention to any detail. i would never bring my dog back there, and i wouldn't suggest anyone else make the choice to go there (unless you hate your dog). Oh yes, and they are rude. read more

I stumbled upon this place when my pup was in desperate need of a trim and I couldn't have been happier! They price cuts by breed and are super knowledgeable about everything to do with grooming and pet care. The best thing was that the woman at the front desk genuinely made sure my pup was comfortable and was honest in telling my that there high priced shampoo probably wouldn't help his coat problem. I appreciated her not pushing the sale and truly being concerned with my dog's well being! read more

I've brought my dog here many, many times and they've always done a great job grooming him. We've enjoyed bringing him here and have had no complaints until our most recent visit. They did another great job grooming our dog, or so we thought. We brought our dog home directly from the groomer and then my husband and I went out to dinner. When we returned home, we saw drops of red blood on our bedspread. We noticed our dog was intently licking his paw, and sure enough we saw that he was bleeding from his nail. It had been cut too short and the inner part of the nail was exposed and bleeding. We washed it out and called our vet first thing in the morning. Our vet instructed us to purchase a cone for our dog, as it was imperative that he not lick the wound because that could lead to infection. I went and bought a cone for $40, which of course my dog hated and we hated seeing him in it so upset and uncomfortable - not what we had in mind when getting our dog groomed. My husband also called Bubbles to inform them of the injury. He spoke with the woman who cut his nails, who apologized and said that yes, the dog was squirming and she cut his nail and it was bleeding. I completely believe that my dog was squirming and being difficult, and I understand no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes..so I am not upset that she cut my dog, as I understand accidents like this happen. What I am upset about is the fact that they absolutely KNEW they cut my dog, he was bleeding, and they failed to be up front and honest with us. No one mentioned this incident to us at all when we picked him up and paid for the service, and included a nice tip. They just accepted our money and tip, and that was it. Had we failed to notice our dog's odd behavior that night, or had we not had a white bedspread which easily showed the blood, our dog could have gotten a serious infection and they KNEW about it and didn't tell us - THAT is what makes me upset. A day later, I was so upset about the situation that my husband called back and asked for refund. At the very least, I was hoping to be compensated for the $40 we had to spend on the cone since that was an expense we incurred because of their negligence, on top of the money we had already spent on the service and tip. They refused to refund us and did not offer to reimburse us for our additional expense because of their mistake. They did say they would give us a credit for a future grooming, but I absolutely cannot bring my dog back here. I know that a squirming dog could lead to a cut at any other groomer, but I need to be able to TRUST that the groomer would do the right thing and inform me honestly of what happened rather than say nothing, accept my money and tip, and put my dog at risk for getting an infection just because they weren't honest about what happened. I cannot reiterate enough that I am not upset about the cut, but upset about the dishonesty in this situation. I love the job they did grooming my dog all these times and am so extremely disappointed that I have lost my trust to the point that I cannot return here for grooming service, or recommend it to others. read more

Definitely an A++! I just took in my Pom Saturday afternoon after being able to make a same day appointment for a shampoo (&sanitary cut). I mentioned that I forgot my coupon but was still give the 10% discount bringing my total to $31. Best of all you can see every station, dryer, cage, sink that the animals are being treated in. Rest assured, as I am that the animals are well treated since you can spy at any time from the front desk. Parking is difficult as others have mentioned. The pet spa has a few spots in back accessed off Marine not Highland. Or metered parking. I will be back again with my boys! read more

I was looking for a place for my dog that was closer to me. I was taking her to Pet Spa Set in harbor city, but they closed and the main place is in Long Beach. The staff was friendly and amazing with my dog. I'll be bringing her to you from now on!! Thank you for making my baby happy and clean! Look forward to our next visit. read more

They always get our cherished english cream in quickly. Expert level and such quick turnaround.

I walked by this place several times, so I decided to give them a try in January. I made the appointment in person the day before, explaining I wanted a "lion cut" for my Pomeranian. They assured me they knew exactly what I was talking about. When I dropped my dogs off the next day I again asked them and they assured me again they knew what I was talking about... $120 later (for two dogs including gratuity) and I picked up two dogs that were not groomed the way I had specified, and the lion cut was not even close, plus whatever the style was that they went with was so uneven and horrible I felt bad for the poor girl for months while it grew out. See photo. Never again will I take my dogs here. Please beware, my other dog was supposed to just have a cleanup cut and they didn't do what I asked there either. read more

Bubbles Pet Spa - This was their idea of a lion cut. - Pet Groomers Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

I love Bubbles when my bichons need a clean up in between their regular grooming appointments, or if they get into the fireplace and need a whitening bath. Their bath and blowout service, with a little trim, looks fantastic! I do not recommend them for a full grooming, at least not with bichons. They cut my dog too short, shaved off the tail, shaved the ears, and left the head too short. It seemed as though they did not understand a bichon cut at all and just shaved her like a poodle. I didn't even recognize her when I picked her up. read more

Cut my dogs 4 inch coat down to not even an inch...I guess that's what "a small trim" means to them. Even after giving really specific details of what I wanted ( a hand wash and a very small trim just to even out his coat) I picked up my dog to find that they shaved it all. So if you're bringing your dog who has a long coat here that you would like to maintain be careful. read more

Best EVER!! Took my Choc Lab and Cavalier KC Spaniel in today. They both came out "good as new." Silky soft and shed free!! VERY impressed w. service, kindness to pets and price. Will definately use again when in MB. read more

Have been coming here for years. Always happy. Picked up our dog today and was informed that the new owner is raising the price from 64 to 80+ dollars for the same service. What's worse is they suggested we go to their other location in Torrance because over there the price will remain unchanged. The Manhattan Beach markup strikes again. We will never go back to this business. Too many other options. We wish the ladies who work for this horrible owner well. They have always been so wonderful. Hopefully they will not suffer as a result of his/her misguided greed. read more

Love Bubbles and more importantly so does Cooper. He loves the groomers and never hesitates to go with them. They do not crate or keep them in cages so he is cruising around the grooming area when I get there. He has allergies and uses a special shampoo which i provide and they always work it into his bath routine. Highly recommend read more

Bubbles does a great job on my golden retriever. Baths, auto baths, & cuts (all required often for goldens) have been perfect. We've been going there since it opened and have only had positive experiences. Marvin loves going there and the staff is always helpful. It's a little pricy, but hey it's a pet spa in Manhattan Beach. Tips: Park in the back and they carry Wellness Pet Food (our brand). read more

I am always happy w Bubbles pet spa as I feel they really listen to the requests I make with my Yorkie Coco. She has never had a bad hair cut there and I've noticed that they have gotten faster with their services too. This is important so my dog isn't in a cage all day and gets to come home within a reasonable time. Two thumbs up Bubbles! read more

Bubbles Pet Spa - Pet Groomers Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

I took both my pups to Bubbles last week and couldn't be happier with the job they did! Friendly staff greeted me and asked various questions about how I wanted the hair cut (1 is a long haired wiener/ 1 a yorky/poodle mix). Both hadn't had a cut in months and looked on the verge of being homeless. I got a call a few hours later that the dogs were ready for pick up. When I arrived that sat together in the kenell calm and happy. The yorky was sporting a bandana and the wiener had little bows. NICE TOUCH :) They smell clean, look adorable, and seemed to enjoy their time at Bubbles. Officially my new doggie spa spot!! read more

I like this spa because the location is awesome for me, i can give my dog a great walk there, pick him up clean and give hime a nice walk home. For the most part everyone is nice there and the facility is nice. I will say in the few times i have been there it is important to make sure to reiterate what you want done because the first time i had gone they forgot to trim his back leg hairs and they had to just do it really quick before i left and it was a bit choppy. Other than that, they give him a bandanna and he looks great :) read more

They do a wonderful job every time my dog pancake gets her hair cut here. Definitely recommend taking your animals to Bubbles Pet spa!

I 100% recommend this place they do exactly what you want the staff is very nice very professional and my dog came out looking beautiful

Great experience all around. Ai and staff were knowledgeable and professional. Great job on the bath, blow dry and the tidy up. Bodhi's nails are well done also - a job that makes me cringe and I have had trouble getting other groomers to keep in good shape. Attractive, well equipped and clean shop.The best thing of all - our dog had fun. See you in two weeks! read more

Bubbles Pet Spa - Bodhi all ready to go! happy clean dog!! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Great pet spa! I love the bandana my dog always comes home in. He's fresh, clean and super happy! Really a great spot!

I have been going to Bubbles in Manhattan Beach for over ten years to get my cats and dogs groomed. They do by far the best job of any grooming place I have been too.. If you have a cat then you know how hard it is to do almost anything to them. Bubbles groomer and Mgr AI is one of the best cat groomers around and does a great job on long hair cats. Overall all I have always been pleased with the service and their friendly atmosphere... read more

Clean (and actually stylish haha), friendly and knowledgeable staff, affordable, and best of all my little long-haired chihuahua (who is a very skittish dog in unfamiliar places) was looking great and was relaxing in the kennel when I came to pick him up. It took a little longer than they said but that wasn't a problem for me (said "about an hour" was more like 2.5). I love to see him trotting around all proud of his cleanliness! This is definitely his new spa. read more

Bubbles Pet Spa - Scooter came back from his first trip to Bubble's happy and looking great! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Had the worst experience of any groomers we've ever gone to. First time we went they charged us a lot more than quoted and not told. The next time they called us wanting to raise the rate and we said NO amd so when we got there they still raised the rate. Don't even trust them even if they tell you a price. read more

The many things you'll love about this place: -free drop/pick-up parking -appointments so you can schedule your day - Kourtnie! I hesitate to mention the groomer's name for selfish reasons (might become challenging to get an appointment w/her) Of the 5 places we've tried, this last haircut was the best Chewbacca has ever had! From now on, we will always schedule with Kourtnie. I believe a consistent groomer will mitigate stress for fur babies. read more

A cute salon for dogs. They really try hard to do what you ask for and are very nice and professional. I like this place.

I was initially hesitant because it's a decent drive, but it's difficult to find a good groomer because my dog can be a little skittish around clippers. After reading the good reviews I decided to take a chance, after it was all done I was extremely pleased with the whole experience. Daisy took great care of my dog and provided exceptional service. It was worth it and my dog left with her tail wagging happily. read more

THE BEST EVER!! My little fur baby HATES the water. She runs whenever she hears the tub at home. The staff at "Bubbles" are like her other pet parents. They are so gentle and patient with her. They ALWAYS do such a great job whenever we come in. read more

I have brought my dog several times to Bubbles pet spa in Manhattan Beach, I have been fairly happy with her hair cuts. Today's haircut for my teacup Pomeranian was magnificent !!! I highly recommend The groomer Ai She nailed it, precision cutting is what you need for a perfect teddy bear cut. I'm gonna book for my next appointment ASAP! # one happy customer!!!!! read more

We've been a costumer at Bubbles Manhattan Beach for over 4 years now. We are a big time dog lovers and we have 3 different ones, Standard Poodle which need a special type of hair cut, ShihTzu that needs a special attention and care, and German Shepherd that loves to take a bath often. All our dogs love to visit Bubbles Pet Spa for grooming and bathing. Even though this location is usually very busy to book appointments but if you do it in advance, it will be easier. The staff are super professional and friendly. They do an awesome job when comes to styling and grooming delicates dogs and puppies. They have Spa Bath and Flee Bath which we use time to time for our German Shepherd. They pay a lot of attention to what the costumers exactly like and they deliver fantastic job. Their prices are very reasonable to compare with other places. We tried some other grooming salons in the neighborhood but none of them satisfied us the way Bubbles does. I totally recommend them to everyone who cares about there dogs and cats the way I do because your pet will not be in the hand of an strangers, in fact they will be treated with so much care, love and patience. Thank you Bubbles Pet Spa Manhattan Beach. read more

I would not recommend this place for their "self wash" service. First of all they dilute the soap so much that it is super watery. This makes for wasting a lot of water because you need to keep adding so much watery soap that doesn't lather at all. Secondly the wash basin a bit low so I was having to lean over for a long time because the soap was so watery and it took extra long. Since the wash basin was low it caused me back pain. Then they dryer area is low too and while I removed my dog from the wash basin to the dry station my hand brushed across the metal tub and sliced my finger so badly that I was bleeding profusely. Turns out they had a price of sharp metal sticking out that was unfinished. Anyways, not worth the trouble and won't go back again read more

Hands down most friendly and helpful service ever! I have been to many self service pet spas and this one blows doors on everything else. Marco offered his advise and showed me secret techniques. When most spas will throw an apron at me and make me feel bad for using too much shampoo, Marco and his staff made me feel incredibly welcome and let me "go to town." YES!! LOVE IT!! read more

For the money I paid to get my dog groomed, I was appalled at the quality of the service. I have a cocker spaniel, I asked for a cocker cut. Either the technician had never done one or she was a complete beginner. The cut was uneven all over. Too long in some places and too short in others. So not only did I overpay, but I will have to get another cut sooner than normal. NEVER AGAIN read more

They were wonderful with my pup. It was the first time and they know how to take care of my pup. My Bruno came out happy and very nicely groomed. Customer service is excellent. A great experience overall. The stuff is knowledgeable and care for the pets. Will return..RECOMMEND read more

Loved it! My dog loved it! Great customer service! They did an amazing job! Ask for Daisy!

I came in today for selfwash & the girls there are so nice ! I also got nail trimming done for $15 & they were quick and super helpful & kept everything really clean . They all seemed to get along with one another too & gave me ideas on what kind of shampoos to use ... take advantage of their selfwash packages if you plan on using it a lot ! Highly recommend thank you to the groomer in the purple jacket ! read more

I have been coming to bubbles for over four years and I never had any problems whatsoever. My little poodle means the whole world to me and she needs a gentle bath and haircut every month My big boxer needs to get a bath almost every other week because he loves to play outside and gets himself dirty, They have great hours of operation, open 7 Days a week, I just wish that they were open longer hours, but the lovely staff try to work with my busy schedule which is very appreciated,It has happened that I was late to pick up my dogs a bit late and they always patiently waited for me. My dogs always look happy and super clean when they are leaving the shop and that's all I could ask for. Thank you Ai & the great team of Bubbles pet Spa for taking care of my babies all this time. read more
