Hack job
Nancy T.

Lady you did remember something right. We did adopt him while living on the Big Island of Hawaii and yes because of him being a feral type dog they did have to shave his top coat because of all the matting. That was almost 2 years ago when we brought him to your establishment. I told you over the phone AND in detail when I dropped him off that we didn't want him shaved!! In detail!!! Yet your employees did exactly what I asked you not to do. His coat had finally grown out and his coat was fluffy and full everywhere. I asked several times for you to credit me back the money we paid you with not one ounce of remorse or refund. When you continued to ignore me I got my credit card company involved. So please accept ownership of your screw up, not mine. Yes I did receive a full refund from them because I fought for it. Believe me that is the only satisfaction we've gotten. When we see people out walking some ask if he's got mange because of the way his hair is growing in. So to answer your question NO I will not take my nasty review down.

Our dogs

Kristie's used to be so good. But unfortunately they now have groomers that have no idea what they're doing. We've been going to them for several years without issue but our last groom on our dogs was terrible, and left BOTH our dogs with hotspots and hundreds of dollars in vet bills which delayed our vacation. This happens when they don't rinse your dogs fur of soap completely according to our vet. The previous groom they forgot to cut our dogs nails. We live 20 min away and had to drive back to have them correct it. I called to have a chat with the owners and never received a call back. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.

After grooming - cutie! (I request them to cut his hair pretty short)

I take my doodle and my Samoyed here and they always do such a great job - and I feel like doodles and Samoyeds are 2 really hard breeds to groom! They make sure to clarify what I want, and I've never been disappointed! I like my doodle cut a little shorter, and I love how cute and round my samoyed's feet look after grooming. I've been coming here for almost 1 year and will continue to return, and the prices are pretty reasonable compared to Seattle prices (a little less since they're outside of the city) but worth it for the quality.

After two visits we are not returning. There are a lot of people who recommend this place, however I believe that their popularity has caused them to have more business than they can professionally handle. My pup was poorly groomed the first visit and now this second visit they butchered her nails. If they have staff unable to do something as simple as a nail trim without cracking/ripping and bleeding there is a real lack of training/care going on. We should have known when our friendly easy-going pup trembled at the sight of the place the second time. Will not return.

Jessie has been our groomer for 10+ years for 13+ dogs that my mother, my partner, my roommate(s), and myself have owned over the years. Jessie is pictured here with our chow chow Mochi. Chows are pretty stand-offish by nature and are only one person dogs - meaning that unless the person interacting with them is "their person" they will feel anxious, they will attempt to run away, or in worst case scenarios resort to fear biting. Some chows need to be muzzled in order to be groomed. Not our Mochi. He loves being groomed by Jessie and looks forward to seeing her every 8 weeks. They share a very special bond together and it has been the same for our two previous chows Momo and Diego that have crossed the rainbow bridge. She is patient and firm with all of our dogs and it is very clear in the way that she interacts with them that she loves them dearly and they love her back too. I don't leave reviews on Yelp very often and when I do its either very good or very bad. I felt compelled to leave this review after hearing that some people are leaving FALSE negative reviews for Jessie and her current employer. They're just salty over losing the one person generating positive reviews for their business to Kristis Grooming. The price is right, they treat their employees well, the premises are brightly lit and clean (does not smell like urine and feces like the other place), you can see for yourself through the huge glass window how groomers care for the pups, more importantly, your pups are COMPLETELY SAFE and IN NO DANGER here. They will be well loved by the amazing and competent staff here at Kristi's Grooming. I will not be taking my dogs to anyone else other than Jessie. We love her!

Pike!
Tim L.

We brought our new puppy Pike to the groomer today to be groomed by Jesse. She was very informative that we might not get much of a haircut because it's his first time and it can be stressful for new puppies (totally understandable!) so we tempered our expectations after we dropped him off. Later on, when I picked him up, I was floored that she had been able to give him a full haircut, bath, etc. The best part is that he was happy and his haircut turned out great! In fact, Pike didn't even want to leave after I picked him up! We will definitely be going back!

Before

I recently moved to Bothell in May and needed to find a groomer right away. I read reviews from multiple places and decided to give Kristi's a try. They were able to fit me in right away usually groomers are booked out a month in advance. When entering, we were greeted by a nice gentleman who checked us in and introduced us to our groomer, Krista. She was so great with our Shih Tzu Oreo and gave him the best haircut he has ever had. My dog has been traumatized in the past but every time I pick him up, he has the happiest face. We have been a loyal customer since then. Thank you for the awesome service, we trust our furry baby here and highly recommend this place.

She's a rescue who wasn't being properly cared for, so her quick is really long, this is the best they've looked!

I took my put bull here for a nail trim today, and they did great! It's the third place I've taken her, and the first time she did t walk out with splintering nails. Very happy with it, and all the people were so nice, and very good with my girl. Made a grooming appointment, look forward to adding more good things to this review!

Groomed corgi butt
Tony B.

I'm extremely happy to have discovered Kristi's Grooming, they're a joy to work with! The service is amazing and they truly care about your needs and making sure your little one is loved. My 2 year old corgi is very hyper and I was worried he may have been a handful but they were able to take care of him and didn't want him to leave! Sounded like he had a great experience and was very cared for! His nails look amazing and haircut was nicely done! Zoey was a great help!

See all

I really had high hopes for this place. Good location, nice website and even puppy practice…read moregrooming services. Unfortunately and sadly my experience was not good and I won't be returning. 3 hours is a long time for a 12 week old puppy first off to be at the grooming salon. In addition, when I picked him up, they just let him out of the backroom to roam, I had to ask where his collar and leash were, then she couldn't get the collar on, so I stepped in and put on his buckle collar. He was visibly stressed and overwhelmed. I asked if anyone had taken him out in the 3 hrs, no one knew. So I ran him out, he did both businesses. I went back in and asked another question while I paid about the service, again no one knew who did what. Cut wasn't too bad. Not the worst, not the best. I also asked if on the next one we could shorten the time and services and they said no, so I am going to try somewhere else sadly.

Dog injured at this place during a hair cut. My dog has been acting sad since we picked her up…read more Turns out there is a swollen bump on her forehead with scab on it, probably due to cutting too deep or getting pulled too hard. The wound is still pretty fresh and sensitive to touch. Called to ask what happened but they just straight up claimed it didn't happen at their place, no apology or anything. I would have taken an apology, but they just brought out this "it's-your-words-against-mine-what-can-you-do" attitude. Stay away from this place. UPDATE: For full context, we dropped our dog at 9:00AM at the place and picked her up at 3:30PM, for a total of 6.5 hours. The owner is claiming that the wound does not look "fresh" enough to be caused by them. With a 6.5 hour window, I am not sure how "fresh" the wound have to be in order for the owner to start taking responsibilities. I know for a fact this happened at the business. Readers use your judgement.

We were in Edmonds and out of blue searched for dog grooming and landed me Hippy Hounds and it's 7 mins drive from us! I called to see if we can get in for shampoo and tidy up. I was told we will be on the waitlist for next day. Sure enough. Sat morning around 9:30 was told to come in if we still want to have it done. YES! We got in and staff were all very friendly and accommodating. The place were so busy with dogs been groomed and there were also self wash area. It was well orchestrated business. I liked Elon came out all fresh and soft. I know washing and grooming dogs are not easy and simple which I've done it on Elon for few years which took me all day and we both ended up exhausted. I appreciate groomers knows what they are doing and keep the dogs happy. I like how Elon looks after his grooming and Elon knows he looks great too lol. Next time we are back in Edmonds will come visit Hippy Hounds again. Thank you for accommodating us on such short notice!

This is our favorite place to come for grooming. The only place Sasha doesn't bark or longe. Sasha is starting to enjoy the pampering. I'm so happy the people who work here care so much for dogs . They deserve recognition for all they do! Very caring. I'm happy they are here. Thanks again for getting Sasha in/out so quickly! You are all awesome the entire team of people. I think I enjoy coming more than Sasha lol. Her nail trim is beautiful. Black nails lol. She's so happy she has her paws back to a great walking and running style. No more sounding like high heel shoes when she walks . I'm sure it feels like slippers lol. By the way, Parking is great. Ample parking Good in/out of the parking lot, near the corner. Very large inside (two sides). Always clean. They have a place for washing. Grooming haircuts and of course treats. You can purchase shampoos etc. I highly recommend this grooming facility over all others . Yeah. TIL next time.
