I haven't taken Sora back since they stopped grooming large dogs because of the owners back injury in 2016.They did do a great job before though. They also don't accept any payment except for cash, and get very angry when you ask how much your total is over the phone (how else am i supposed to know how much cash to carry)? It would probably be easier if their prices were consistently the same for the same services, but they're not and were different with each appointment even though they did the same service every time. When you ask why, they go on a huge rant about how much work they do, which I totally understand. I also understand they prices rise and fall, but everytime? I've never had that happen at a grooming salon and just needed some clarification. Somehow asking over the phone about why the price was higher (not $5 but more like $15) meant that i was unhappy with their service, which was not the case. If you can deal with attitude and misunderstandings on their part, this is the place to go since they DO do a good job, but remember, they don't do large dogs anymore. In the end, its all about the service rendered. 5 stars for how awesome the groom was previously, 2 stars for the ridiculousness of the ever changing prices. I hope its gotten better! read more

Just took my bulldog here for the first time today. We absolutely loved it and will definitely be returning. I have always bathed Kash at home and taken him to the vet for nail trims and anal glands- needless to say we will not be doing that anymore and will be regulars at Canine Classics. Great prices and you can feel how much they truly love what they do. read more

I brought my 5 and a half month old husky to Canine classics for the first time this week and I am so impressed! Huskies have a tendency to be very vocal and they were so patient with my girl. Her coat was beautiful after bath, blow out and brush. They trimmed her nails and the fur around her paws. And to top it off they put the sweetest bandana on her for pickup. There was a huge variety of dogs there, from massive shepherds and labs to toy poodles. Absolutely recommend this business! Pic of my Lexi after her appointment attached. read more

Have been taking my dog to canine classics for some time now .She always looks beautiful when I pick her up Their service is prompt.Their price is quite reasonable.I would not go anywhere else.Also my dog loves the place.She runs in and sees to enjoy the entire process . read more

I am new to the area and have taken my approx 45 lb Goldendoodle here a couple times. I had recently brought her in for a bath. Just a bath! Because she was dirty. She had been fully groomed at this location approx 5 weeks prior and I paid about 140.00. I went to pick her up and was told that the cost for the bath was 100.00. I was in shock! I said for what? The lady said she was extremely matted.. I reiterated that she was just there last month and got fully groomed! There is no way she was that matted. They had literally just shaved her on her last grooming.. needless to say, I will never be back to this place. It's unfortunate because it is so close to home but I'm not going to pay 100.00 for my dog to get a bath... read more

Took my dog there and he ended up with a cut paw. Have had 3 visits to the vet over the last week, because he can't walk now, and when I called to let them know what had happened, they began shouting, saying nothing occurred while he was with them, and it must have happened when he left. Looks like this sort of thing happens often, for them to jump into fight mode. I was only calling to have them be cautious next time. Very poor customer service attitude. So disappointing. read more

My family has been taking our dog Sally to Canine Classics for years. You can tell these small business owners really LOVE their customers. After a HORRIBLE experience at a chain pet store yesterday (details in my reviews) I decided to take Sally to where I should have taken her in the first place. As soon as I walked in they recognized Sally and even ALMOST guessed her name correctly. Molly and Sally are very close. What class acts these people were. They treated Sally as if she was their dog. You just can't get that type of care from the large pet store chains. Forgive me Canine Classics for trying to go elsewhere, if it wasn't for the Trader Joe's next to that awful pet store I would never go there. Added June 2015: Thank you Canine Classics for taking such good care of Sally. She loved every visit we made. Sadly on June 20th 2015 Sally passed away. She is no longer in any chronic pain and can finally rest in peace. The Martin family will never forget your always professional and friendly store. read more

I've been coming here to get my dogs nails trimmed for about 11years. They're always friendly and are great with the animals. They put a colorful (or seasonal) bandana on your dog when their done; we love this! FYI: not open Monday's and they don't take credit cards just cash or checks. read more

Canine Classics - Inside - Pet Groomers Near Me - Fairfax Station, Virginia

Everyone here was really very nice. This was my pups first time at the groomer and she seemed to be comfortable at Canine Classics. She wasn't overly afraid or freaked out when I picked her up. The staff was very friendly and gave her lots of love. I just didn't really like the cut they gave her. I went in and the lady didn't really even bother looking up my appointment to see what I was coming in for, so we had to go through the who thing again. She took good care of my pup, but they really messed up the top of her hair cut. One portion is almost scalped and right behind that is really long. It made her head look boxy and weird. Also, I told them to keep her body longer because it's so cold out but cut her legs, feet and face. They kept her legs longer than her body for some reason so when she runs in the snow it get tangled in her fur. I may give them another chance. They were very nice. I just really hate this cut. My cute, fluffy little girl looks a mess now. read more

Took my pup for a same day appointment. They were awesome with him! My pup is a Dobe/Pitbull mix and can seem pretty scary when he's nervous. They were absolutely great with him! I was so nervous for our first visit but they eased both of us with their professionalism. I will be driving here every time (from Quantico). read more

The business does a very average job and it's difficult to make appointments within a reasonable amount of time. Worker dropped the F-bomb when I came to pick my dog up after forgetting my phone (they want you to call from the door during the pandemic) and had to knock on the door. Not really the way a customer service business should operate. read more

Having just moved to the area I had no idea where to go. A friend recommended canine classics. I'm so happy. My dog looks fabulous, smells great, and got the cutest bandana. The shop is very clean as well. You can tell the owners really care about the pets that come in and really take time to get to know them. We will definitely be going back. read more

I wish we still lived near this place. The owner would always go out of his way to take care of you. They love animals and love taking care of them. read more

The staff were friendly, they did exactly what I asked and my dog looks and feels wonderful. Recommended to me by a former vet tech, this was the right choice for my dog. The price was reasonable and their not having a card machine is no issue for me. Jasmine has never seemed so relaxed after being away from me before. I will definitely go there again. read more

Sheila and John are the absolute best!!! I've been taking my black & tan coonhound, Shelby, here once a month for 5 years. Every time it's time to go see "Mr. Johnny" aka John, Shelby gets uncontrollably excited. He runs to the door and starts jumping as if he can't wait to go to Canine Classics to get pampered. I drop Shelby off and I know my boy is in good hands. When I pick him up, Shelby doesn't want to leave (probably because "Mr. Johnny" gives him uber amount of treats!!). When Shelby gets in my truck, his coat is soft and shining bright, nails are cut to perfection and his ears are nice and clean. I couldn't ask for anything more from a groomer. They take care of my pup the way I do and it's much appreciated! read more

I contacted Canine Classics per the recommendation of a business friend who's mother had regularly used the company for her dog over a period of several years. I arrived on time with a golden retriever who needed a complete makeover. The owner approached us in friendly manner & I noticed how comfortable my dog was with him. I was asked to return about 3 hours later for pick-up. When I returned my dog was happy, beautiful, hair flowing, ears & feet perfectly trimmed. He had been transformed into a beautiful golden who reported that he was quite happy with the staff and makeover. The staff is amazing which shows in their work & the calmness of their canine clients. I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone who loves their pets and wants top quality work at affordable prices. read more

Although the price is more than what we're used to (I hear Northern Va is simply more), the place is amazing. I gave Lexi's chart to the lady and she did a fantastic job. The cut was exactly what I wanted. She also finished Lexi quickly, but kept her for me until I was able to pick her up. Lexi has been there twice now and both times were great! read more

This review is really 4.5 stars or maybe 4.75... Our little mutt went to the groomer for the first time in her two year old life. She's a Chi-mix with long silky hair. My mom, who took a grooming class, tried to do her a couple times but 1. didn't know what was the best cut for her breed and 2. couldn't get her wriggly butt to stay still. So, we took her to this place as it is just around the corner from home. When I called on the phone the guy said our 12 lb dog would be between 40-50 bucks. Which i think is excessive but, after calling around to other places, I guess is standard pricing. *shrug* Shelia is great with the dogs and offered an opinon on whether to trim the fur or shave...we went with shave. I warned her that this was the dog's first time and they got her in right away. We ran some errands and within 2-3 hrs they called to come pick her up! Really fast for a Saturday! The cut was very good, there were some "railroad tracks" and the head was still a bit shaggy but Shelia explained our dog wouldn't tolerate the clippers at the ears and was very wiggly. I knew this from before so I don't blame the groomer at all. All in all we are very pleased with the outcome. I kind of feel the silky head doesnt match with the now shorn body (which is where the minus .5 comes from) but that's not the groomer's fault. If mom still can't handle her, we'll take her right back to Canine Classics. We're SOLD on this place! :) read more

Sheila is a prodigy Dog Whisperer! She lovingly takes care of our 10 y/o Shih-Tzu who has some reluctance to getting clipped/bathed following back surgeries a few years ago! Sheila provides him a soothing voice, gentle hand, and a stress free environment. He comes out looking pristine, smelling great, and tail wagging! We couldn't do it without her, thats for sure! You must consider this awesome establishment if you live in the NOVA region! read more

I have been taking our Newfie and our Yorkie to John and Sheila for years, and we will never go anywhere else. They are so caring and wonderful with our pets. We recently lost our Golden and when they gave us their condolences, you can tell they really cared. They do fabulous grooming and I have recommended many people to them, all of whom are equally happy with them and their wonderful shop! Don't hesitate to visit them and let them take care of your doggies! read more

I absolutely love Sheila! She is a great groomer and an awesome dog lover! She always gets my dogs in ASAP. Their prices are incredible and keeps me coming back. My 2 dogs used to hate going to the groomer. They put "the brakes" on. However, after their first visit here, they stopped doing that. They get all excited and want to kiss Sheila every time we are there. I am very picky about who cares for my dogs, but I honestly trust them! I hope they stay open forever, because I will never take them to someone else. read more

I have been using Canine Classics for several years now. The owners Sheila and John are friendly and excel at what they do. Susan or John have been grooming my dog Monty for years. He always looks great! I own a dog walking business, Walking The Dogs, we never hesitate to refer our clients to Canine Classics. We know they will receive great care here and will come away happy! John went so far above and beyond with one of our clients who had a dog that was in the late stages of fatal illness that he will forever have a special place in my heart and the owner's heart as well. These people love dogs, and it shows. read more

A little bit on the higher side in terms of cost, but honestly I feel better about spending money with a local business instead of a chain. Our little pup has been to this spot about 3 times now. She doesn't get afraid or nervous when we pull up and go in... which tells me that she must be treated well once I drop her off. When I call to make an appointment, they remember her (even though she's only been a few times). I'm pretty sure it's a husband and wife that own this place.. which makes me happy to see. If you are okay with spending a little extra to support a couple of local business owners, you should bring your little baby to these folks. read more

We' ve been there just ones with both of our yorkies. Sheila did an amazing job. Our dogs are very hard to work with, they hate grooming and bathing. But Sheila managed to make them both soo pretty. We used to go to another groomer , but moved from that area and had to look fro new place to do grooming. I decided to give Canine Classics a try based on the yelp reviews and extremely close location to our new house. I am glad i did. We will definitely be coming back! Thank you , sheila, for listening and make my boys so beautiful! read more

Oh my. Great job with my golden doodle. Super friendly owners. Price was on par with other groomers. They do put the dogs in crates while they are waiting & once they are done. I was extremely happy how my dog was groomed. read more

Unfortunately, if I could, I would rate a 0. And this is all because of their poor customer service. I have attempted several times to get an appointment since they are located very near to where I live. I tried once during this summer, and another before this Thanksgiving. I tried calling as well as sending a Facebook message. To this day, there has been no attempt to contact me. I'm not sure how this place stays in business. read more
