AFTER:You can see the patchy not even cut, particularly on her belly area. This is 1 of 2 photos of her body to show both sides.
Tiffany M.

My experience with Doggie Details was the WORST experience I have had with a groomer, and I'm in the dog industry. I have worked with several groomers in the past, and I have my own dog company providing services to people in the South Bay. In fact, across the street from Doggie Details, I have 7 clients in that neighborhood. One of those clients entrusted me to bring their Australian Labradoodle to Doggie Details. My client had already communicated very specific grooming requests through photos and videos. When I dropped Tilly off, I AGAIN clearly showed the groomer the desired style. During the grooming session, I received a call from the groomer, she thought that I had called and was returning my call. She also informed me that she had cut off some of Tilly's matted hair and had given her a short cut. I assumed this was still in line with the requested style. So I acknowledged what she said. When I returned to pick Tilly up, I was shocked to discover that she was completely unrecognizable! I thought they handed over the wrong dog!! The groomer had SHAVED her body completely, with some areas shaved down to the skin. The grooming job was uneven and rough, with portions of Tilly's head and tail cut disproportionately larger creating an odd appearance. Also on her body, there were parts that were noticeably shorter than other parts of her body. It is extremely patchy with some noticeably shorter. Additionally, I noticed significant behavioral changes in Tilly after the grooming. She became skittish, began biting at my hands, and cried a lot when I left the room. The facility did mention that she bit her groomer, which raised MAJOR concerns about whether she used excessive force when she was grooming her. To make matters worse, the groomers claimed that I had approved the drastic shave, which was entirely untrue. I had communicated the expectations. The photos and videos were shown 2 times by both the owner and me. I reached out to the business owners to discuss my concerns directly, but they never called me back and only called my client. Then said to her that I approved a horrible cut over the phone, which was 100% a LIE!! She only called me because she thought she was returning a call, and she had already done the damage. It felt as though I was being used as a scapegoat for her mistake. Also, why would you call me to get permission to shave her down completely and not the owner directly?! In reality, neither of us received a call. This was completely unacceptable behavior for a service-based business. Also, Tilly's grooming should have been complimentary following such a distressing experience, and an apology should have been offered to everyone in this situation, at the very LEAST. Zero accountability was taken from them. Only blaming others. I have attached photos to this review. It is very clear of the expectations. It is also very clear that the grooming wasn't even acceptable even if we had requested a shave. I share this experience as a warning for those considering Doggie Details. I know that there are many great reviews; however, I would hate for this experience to happen to you. Please do NOT risk it!! I also hate it if a dog is not given proper care during their grooming. It was obvious that Tilly had trauma after her grooming. It's crucial to prioritize quality and care when choosing a grooming service for your beloved pets. I hope this review helps others make informed decisions in the future. IN RESPONSE TO THE OWNER: #1 - When your groomer reviewed the photos sent by the owner and me, she was confused, which is why we spent time reviewing the images. She mentioned she may go shorter (which other groomers have said too but still kept the same look). She was also looking at the photos the whole time we were talking. I am not a groomer, and I count on your specialized skill set to do techniques to get the desired outcome. At the end of our conversation, she said that she would try and verbatim said "if the owner did not like it, she can correct it." I assumed those words meant she would do the cut in the photos, and there would still be room to adjust if it did not meet expectations. Before I left, I asked if she would like me to send her the photos, at which point she said no. I did not agree to change her look & she did not say "do you understand" #2 - I did tell the groomer a muzzle can be used on Tilly, which was feedback received from another groomer. The difference here is what happened after her grooming. This time, she was noticeably skittish and would run away from people that she loves. This was noticed by several people. Tilly had some trauma. This groomer likely did not know how to deal with dogs that are uncomfortable with grooming. #3 - When the groomer called me, she thought I had called and was only returning a call that she missed. No conversation around permission was done; she only said she already cut off areas, and mentioned there were some long parts too.

This is how she came back

Had my dog walker drop off and pick up my formerly cute Australian Labradoodle here at the recommendation of my neighbor. I gave a visual example in the form of a photo and video with specific hair length guidance on each part of the body. The groomer failed to follow instructions and my poor dog was shaved to the skin without my consent. When I called to ask why this happened, she lied and said my dog walker agreed to this cut. See photos of what she looked like before, what was provided as inspiration and how she was returned to me.

Amazing amazing amazing!! Can't recommend Doggie Details team enough. My golden retriever pup got her first groom appointment here and she came back smelling & looking adorable. Pricing is really fair and the staffs are really communicative. Will definitely be back!

BIPOC women-owned. Was able to fit me in for a nail trim the next day. Easy parking. Would recommend.

We've taken our mini labradoodle here for 9+ months now and have loved every single hair grooming. They're super affordable, the people are so nice and the hair cuts look incredible. The ONLY down side is I don't think they're a secret cause they've gotten very popular and you have to schedule an appointment a week out. But that's because they're so amazing so I'm not complaining!

Found this business on yelp and so very glad I did. First the staff was welcoming and We could tell they are dog lovers. My dog Zuri was a little shy at first, but the staff was patient with Zuri, sat on the couch and waited for her. When we picked her up she was so clean and beautiful, they addressed all doggies details. A huge plus is she embraced the staff bye on her way out! This is definitely our new spot! Thanks to the whole team.

We took our new Baby, Harper Lee, to see Antionette for her first haircut. I could not be happier with the result. I was really picky about the type of cut I wanted for Harper, and Antionette delivered. Thank you for caring for our pets...and their neurotic parents! Here's the before and after pics.

I love how well they handled my 2 American Staffordshire Terriers! They look feel and smell great! Owners were super kind even though my dogs gave them a bit too much of their vocals in the cages. Hard to find places that take bigger dogs. Really happy to have found this place & would definitely recommend.

Fresh cut!

On behalf of me and my dog... WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE! Last year I made a horrible decision and switched to another groomer. It ended up being a terrible decision because he came back traumatized. When he was picked up from that place he had his tail between his legs and was shivering! He was less than a year old and in bad shape! My dog is no angel when it comes to haircuts. His name is Kujo and definitely acts like the Stephen King's Cujo. After having a bad experience with another groomer, I took him back to Doggy Details. I was a little nervous because the other groomer lectured me and told me that my dog is a nuisance and will never be groomed unless properly trained. So when I brought him to Doggy Details, the groomer explained to me that him being nippy would not be an issue. I was sort of skeptical but made sure to let them know to just give me a call if anything came up. Once they finished, they gave me a call and she told me everything that happened. She explained that they had an "argument" but were able to get past it and cut the rest of his body! It was a funny but showed me that she truly listened and cared about Kujo. You can tell that all of he groomers truly care for the dogs. They are super sweet and you can tell by how my dog looks and feels when I pick him up! I will never go anywhere else! They are reasonably priced ($55-$60) and give him the cutest cuts! You will not be disappointed!

Either groomers aren't skilled enough to handle puppy who is new to grooming or they don't want to deal with anxious pups.

Ask the Community - Doggie Details

Is doggie details permanently closed? Really hoping they are either doing renovations or moved to a new location. My husband tried calling but the number seemed disconnected. Really hoping they are still in business because we love them!

Not permanently closed. Had to relocate, but we are now open at 5118 W 190th street Torrance CA 90503. Same shopping center as the 99 cent store. Hope to see you again!

Do you take "sensitive" dogs? I have a 7lb rescue who can be timid and sometimes nip if she gets scared

Does anyone know if they crate the dogs while waiting to be picked up or do they have somewhere to roam or be leashed to as an option? My dog has crate trauma and doesn't do well in a crate.

Yes, we do crate our dogs while they are at my shop. However, we are very accommodating to to leash your loyal companion if you so wish.

It was easy to make an appointment over the phone. Since it was our first time, they asked us for her vaccine record which I gladly sent over. I appreciate that they make sure the dogs that go there are up to date on their rabies vaccines, etc. When I got there, I was pleasantly surprised by how spacious and clean the facility looked. They also gate off some dogs from each other if some of them are more aggressive or not socialized, or if your dog is scared of other dogs. The whole dropoff process was seamless and quick. The appointment took about 3 hours and they called/texted me when my dog was ready. My dog came back looking super cute and clean! They did an overall good job with her haircut, not the best but decent enough! I felt that the price was fair/average. I also appreciated the advice she gave me in recommending a probiotic I can buy online to help with my dog's itching and constant licking. I bought it and it's actually working! I would definitely come back to this groomer! Parking: free in plaza lot. Located in the back corner of the plaza.

I didn't get a square when I asked for a circular face. I don't see random tufts of hair that got missed by the clipper blade. She only took a glance at the reference photo I gave and then she just made magic and made it look 10x better. She also genuinely cares for the dogs and handles them with care. Her little daycare pen also looks so cute. The smell of her store is not musky or has that strong dog odor smell which is honestly a big plus. We are definitely coming back, and I'm excited to say we may have finally found a local groomer that we can keep coming back to.

They also offer boarding and training. It has been more than a year since I started having Baby groomed by our regular groomer. Recently, I suddenly became unwell and needed to undergo some medical testing, and unfortunately, our regular groomer was off that day. Another staff member kindly took care of Baby instead. What impressed me even more was that our regular groomer had left very detailed written instructions for the staff regarding Baby's haircut and grooming. I could see how carefully he communicated Baby's needs, even when he was not there himself. It was such a professional and thoughtful way of handling things, and it made me trust the salon even more. Baby has a very challenging triple coat, which makes bathing and grooming more difficult than usual. We have always discussed the style together, and for more than six months now, we have been happily keeping the same haircut. If you are looking for a grooming salon, I would recommend this place without hesitation. The staff are wonderful, the environment is clean, and most importantly, I feel completely comfortable leaving my Baby in their care. To our regular groomer and everyone at the salon, thank you from the bottom of my heart for always taking such good care of Baby. I feel truly fortunate to have found a place where I can leave my Baby with complete peace of mind....see you soon!
