Nanci Cardenas Santana is the owner of this grooming studio and the sole employee. She handles all…read moreappointments from scheduling, to grooming, to payment. She has created an online presence to exude wealth with photos of her posing with her jet black show dogs and some black stallions she rides. I discovered her company after Nanci offered her services for grooming my dog, replying to one of my posts online. On my first visit, I got lost finding the location. Nanci never told me her studio wasn't actually on East 6th Street, as her website says. After a frantic phone call (due to her fees for being late) I was able to gather qualified directions from Nanci, who told me in that moment, that her studio is actually on Comal Street, down a half block from East 6th, and that her address is for USPS. Upon arriving, I liked the studio's style, in person- but the drive through homeless camps in East Austin, kind of threw me. Nanci's reaction to my beautiful boy was questionable. Usually, genuine dog-friendly people pet the dogs and even get down on their level to interact with the dogs. My dog is super friendly and has a rich chocolate and tan coat, and she looked at him like he was a specimen. "I prefer blacks," she replied. I was annoyed by her elitist personality and lack of tact but I was in need and my dog was in need and we had already spent 45 minutes driving in circles trying to find the place. She quoted me $165 for a full spa groom- which is what is posted on her website. Upon completion, I asked for the total again and Nanci rounded up my bill to $180 with a very precious and unbothered aside, 'oh I had more carding to do'. I paid her and tipped her 20% and scheduled his next two appointments as she suggested due to the holidays and she enjoyed working with us. The next 3-4 appointments went fine, but during that time, Nanci was posting passive aggressive posts about cleaning up her books and removing some dog families from her books. She seems to use her Instagram as her main form of expression and business communication but also to grind her axe with disappointed clients. She assured me she wanted to keep seeing us. She was still tricky to communicate with and work with, however, but I was able to warm her up. Several texts of mine went ignored. Those were texts asking for recommended products. She shared some, but coveted others. Eventually in person, she admitted to receiving my texts but purposefully did not respond to my question about the cologne, because it 'comes from Mexico and you'll never be able to buy it. I have to buy it when I travel there and bring it back with me. So that is why I did not tell you.' Uncouth, at best. In any case- our last grooming session was this February and at this point, Gajeel's had been opened for about 8 months. I overlooked her personality issues that could prevent us from getting my dog's needs met. I put the focus back on my dog and walked right in to a land mine for our last appointment. "Oh! I raised my prices two days ago," she started saying. I asked her where she shared this information. "In my Instagram stories." Perplexed with her inability to communicate in a professional manner, or with honoring her loyal clients pricing set when they scheduled the appointment- I reminded her that stories disappear after 24 hours. Picking my dog up after his appointment, I paid her the increase without complaint, lowered her tip to 15% and assured her that the other place that bathes and brushes out my dog in between her grooming sessions, is very good and vet- operated/ regulated. This was mentioned because The Snot told me my dog had guarded his paws this time and she had just jabbed me with a reference to his vet's groomer, 'but do they use fear free methods?? You know it's a certification. I have it but they may not." I replied that my dog loved going there and they had zero complaints. I also let her know that I do my research, and that she was the newest person in his life- and that is possibly why he guarded his paws. I could not believe the ego on this pedantic woman. The gall to follow our every move on our social media and than turn around and try to blame something on this other company. And for what? Guarding paws? That is totally normal behavior for dogs who have allergies, which she knew about. I'm ** absolutely positive** my dog guarded his paws with her because dogs know when their owners are being disrespected and act accordingly. When I got home, I checked online, and her website had not been updated with the price increase yet, nor on her socials either. I text her then, and asked for a screenshot of the price increase notification, because I could not find it. She sent me two screenshots and one was from the story that dissolved after 24 hours and the other was from her website. So I went back to her website- saw she had just updated it after I asked her for this info, and then sent it to me. Shady Jezebel.

I contacted this group and they were professional from the get-go.

It is obvious she loves her job and has a heart for dogs with special needs. I'm not saying my little guy loved his home spa experience, but she was gentle and fast so he handled it well as Lexi always was cognizant to keep his stress level down. HIGHLY recommend!

During the holidays, when its so hard to get a grooming appt, I called them an was glad to hear they could come out much sooner than taking the dogs to our usual groomer. I canceled that appt and told MC that I canceled our standing appt to try them! The day they are to arrive, they never show. I called and called, no answer. Then finally a text, she's lost, then 30 more min, she's run out of gas? And hour later, she's got a flat tire?! Seriously? I was furious. We finally rescheduled for later that week, I had to reschedule, but before I did I asked if we could for sure still get IN that week and she said YES. Never heard from them again. Bottom line: if you live in Central Austin they are probably fine. However, they advertised in the local Dripping Springs paper that they NOW service our area. They DON'T. They don't know the area. We live in a GATED subdivision with nicely paved streets and she never asked me when setting up the appt where we were or whether or not we were on a dirt road, but She then used that as her excuse later. If you live out here there are much better more professional groomers. Hill Country Pet Resort and Just Four Paws. Don't get left hanging with dirty ungroomed dogs at the last minute. You cannot count on Muttley Crew.

Mitzi is a god-send! My peke-cocker mix, Walter, is touch sensitive. I don't know what happened to…read morehim in the four years of his life before he arrived at APA, but he really does not like getting groomed. I discovered this first when bringing him to another well-known groomer in the area. They weren't able to finish him (even when he had on a basket muzzle), and told me in the future they would consider bathing him but not grooming him. At first, I was disappointed but couldn't blame them. All Breed Dog Grooming is across the street from my apartment. I had passed it many times but never given much thought to the place with the simple sign and straightforward name, until Walter got so fluffy, and it got so hot out, and he was always covered in sticky burrs. I really wanted to help him out by getting him a shorter cut, but I just didn't know if there was anywhere I could take him. I was surprised to see All Breed had a handful of really good reviews here on Yelp, so I called and explained that Walter was very touch sensitive. Mitzi said that she had been grooming for 14 years and felt that she was up for the challenge. I brought Walter in, and he did indeed prove to be a challenge. Unlike other more "prissy" groomers out there, Mitzi showed extreme patience on that first time grooming him. She kept him from 8am to 2pm - sent me text updates and a picture, and gave him breaks when he needed them. Despite it being a nerve wracking experience for her (Walter gets pretty freaked out when the clippers come out and go anywhere near his neck/chest/feet), she managed to finish the grooming completely (not leaving his head and paws long like the other place did). And at the end, she explained to me what she did and how he handled it and suggested I bring him back from a couple baths during the summer as his hair grew out so he could get used to being groomed. Last week, I decided to bring him in for a bath, as we'd discussed, and Mitzi, on a hunch that it was the grooming table/noose that stressed Walter out, gave him a trim free of charge, and did his grooming on the couch, and on a table without the noose. She said he handled it much better, and that he just didn't like having stuff around his neck. She suggested when I picked him up that I bring him back once a month or so for a small trim and bath rather than letting his hair grow out and having to groom him from scratch (he's veryyyy fluffy). All I can say is God bless people like Mitzi, who have patience and compassion. She was certainly under no obligation to take a risk in grooming my sensitive and sometimes snappy pup, but she sympathized, and did, and even found a way to make it less traumatic for him. She even sends a pic when he's done or during to let me see how it's going. She shows Walter and her other four-legged clients with such affection that I know this is a labor of love for her. I can't say how relieved I am to have found All Breed Dog Grooming - and so lucky to have it right across the street! But if your dog is nervous about being groomed or you just want to be sure they are in loving hands while getting cleaned up, I'd definitely recommend All Breed!! There is also a discount if you let her know you found her on Yelp!

She only does a handful of grooms a day, so make sure you call her in advance! This place is located next door to a used car lot, but don't be fooled by her location. She has years of experience and listens carefully to what you want. My rambunctious pup doesn't sit still but came out of there with no cuts, and seemed completely happy. He was not shaking or traumatized, at all -- and even ran back to give Mitzi some doggy kisses. The only reason why she doesn't get 5 stars, is because it is such a small place. She is the only one that works here, so sometimes she won't be able to answer the phone while she's bathing, blow drying, or giving a dog a haircut. Leave a message, she'll get back to you. Oh and if you go, tell her Stephanie J. referred you! Anytime you refer someone, you get $5 off your groom. So if you get enough referrals your next groom could be free! lol. (And no, Mitzi doesn't even know that I'm writing this review.) I'll have to post pictures of my lovely pup, but if you're curious just click on my profile. He's a cutie.
