    We have been taking all 3 of our fur babies to Head to Tail since 2015... David the owner was so attentive to our Gemma when she first went there. He spent 45 minutes just building a trust bon with her and that was enough for me to know she was in great hands. Best place to serve all your needs for your fur babies, hands down! Gemma, Ruby and Brooklyn love you!!

    This is a new groomer for me and I was pretty excited to get my girl Coco in for a cut and style. The store is closed during pandemic and there are cones outside for line control. But I think they are spacing appointments out to enforce social distancing so I was the only one in line. I think it was about $70 all in with grooming, anal glands and a teeth brushing (which was another $5) and tax. Tipping additional of course. I wish her ears and tail were kept long, as requested, and that the cut was smoother but not too upset as hair grows. She came out with a ribbon tied around her neck and looking cute.

    First grooming for my puppy! Came out looking fresh and happy! They got a new regular!

    How they ignored my instruction and shaved his tail

    Terrible Job from Head to Tail :( Awful place, awful service, awful haircut. My pups haircut summarized 1. They deeply lacerated his hind left leg 2. I asked that they not touch his tail 5 times and they still ignored that and shaved his tail 3. I asked that they leave the hair on his head long, and they didn't listen and shaved his head 4. They shaved his face and left 2 bald spots in between his eyes 5. He came back with an ear infection I had airdropped pictures of the look that I wanted as well as explained this in great detail and had them reiterate it back to me. Everyone at the store admitted it was an awful haircut but would only apologize. If you love your pet DO NOT bring them here. Attached are photos of what I asked for compared to what I got as well as the laceration.

    El trato fue muy amable, el servicio excelente y mi perrito quedó contento, le gustó mucho el lugar en el que se siente mucha paz. Quedó oliendo súper rico y el corte se lo hicieron muy profesional. Si quieren hacer cita para bañar a su mascota, deben de llamar con anticipación.

    I have a six months Lab, and this is also her first time to do grooming outside. I am so nervous but so glad it works out really well. The staff there are all very friendly and also gave me a report to show all the details of work they've done, and issues with my dog, my dog smells soooo good and smooth, will definitely come back again!

    My cleaaan boi!

    I can't say enough good things about this place, so happy after having such a bad experience with our last boarding place that I was able to come across this GEM! Sebastian is absolutely incredible and really takes the time to listen to your concerns and explain things to you! My bulldog Tyson came back to me soooo clean and sooo tired from his daycare after, I couldn't be happier. He's been groomed before but his nails have never looked so good and he has never smelt so good either!!! Will be a lifelong customer of this establishment!

    What is the parking situation? Do they have a lot, or is it street parking?

    Not too much street parking if you get lucky but you can double park to drop off your dog

We were actually recommended to Mel's Spaw through another groomer, and they could not say enough wonderful things about Melanie! The positive recommendation made me feel really at ease, given the other place was rated really high and so was Mel's Spaw. As soon as we called Melanie she picked up right away with the most kind, friendly and outgoing personality. As soon as we mentioned we had a goldendoodle she was even more excited to get her hands on our dog Kash as she has goldendoodles herself. We set an appointment for a few days later where we got to meet Mel in person and she was just as delightful as she was on the phone. Her salon was super clean, had an open layout which I loved, and such cute decor. Talking to her was easy, and she asked questions that no one asked us prior, like about our preferred cadence of Kash's maintenance grooming schedule, which weighs into how long or short we planned to cut his hair: Shorter in length = can go longer between grooming Longer in length = shorter between grooming We showed her a specific cut we liked, just a puppy cut and described other things like cutting shorter around his mouth and chin, keeping his tail fluffy.. and she executed BEYOND our expectations! When we picked up our pup he was: 1. Obsessed with Mel 2. Looked PHENOMENAL! So handsome!! We were soooo happy with the entire process and service. *ALSO It's been 3 days since our grooming and our dog still smells amazing as when we picked him up from his appointment!! So happy to have found our groomer here in NJ. Before we left we booked a bath appointment and our next full grooming appointments, we are looking forward to coming back!

The staff is amazing and they treat every dog as if they were their own. Ralphie never wants to leave - it's like doggy Disneyland (they even decorate for Halloween, Christmas, etc.!). We've left Ralphie overnight here for both weekend trips and 2-week vacations, and every time has been a success. He has separation anxiety, so boarding at D is for Doggy is perfect because he's never left alone and never put in a crate. The staff is fantastic with following with specific food and medication instructions. Ralphie also gets groomed here and Jesus does an amazing job. He is so sweet and patient with dogs who hate getting groomed. I've referred many other dog owners to D is for Doggy, so I felt it was high time I leave a review. Run your dog here ASAP!

    I picked up my all white dog after grooming with a large greyish black streak down his side. When I…read moreasked the staff what this was they said they thought it was a birthmark and took him to the back to remove it. Several minutes later the groomer came out and said they couldn't get the stain off of him. She informed me they were doing construction in the back and he was laying on the floor under it. The conversation got worse and worse from there. She told me "it was likely something from the air conditioner and she didn't know what it was but it definitely wasn't dangerous." She then casually said if they couldn't get it off I wouldn't have to pay for the grooming.... as if he was a sweater that got stained at the dry cleaner. They ended up giving him two more baths and getting most of it off with Dawn dish soap... which is what they use to take oil spills off of sea creatures. My dog was unsupervised, laying in construction chemicals and came out from his grooming stained. After all of that, they still charged me and barely apologized. I was a regular customer for several years and this was one of the worst experiences I've ever had. Needless to say we have never been back.

    Unless you want to be nickle & dimed, do NOT come to this groomer…read more Very unfortunate to be leaving this review. We've taken our dog to this shop about 4 times in total. The first time the Front Desk communicated that the grooming would be done in 30 minutes and when we came back, she denied ever saying that. The grooming took 4 hours in total. We were very unhappy with this, but the owner graciously gave us a discount so we took it as a gesture of good faith. The 2nd/3rd time were fine, but then our dog ended up at the vet & got an ear infection because we found out that they never cleaned out his ears or plucked his ears so we spent over $1K at the vet. The final time (I know, stupid us for going again), we wanted to see if we could make it work because of the proximity of Bark Shoppe and wanting to truly support local businesses, they charged us a "LATE FEE" for picking up our dog 30 minutes after they called even though they never once disclosed that this policy existed. I emailed their team and instead, their front desk person called us and said "we can't refund this fee and moving forward it would be better for your dog to be groomed elsewhere." What. A. Joke. We will NOT be coming back to this place.
