    Holiday hair style!
    Stephanie C.

    I have been going to Melissa with my small poodle mix, Luna, for about two years now. I go about every 2-3 months for the regular grooming services. The pricing is competitive with other groomers but the quality is far greater! I have been to other places in Claremont but they have never done as good a job as Melissa. It takes about 3 hours for the full groom. Luna always comes back smiling with a flower and a bandana! I would advise booking in advance because her schedule fills up quickly!

    Before her first grooming with Melissa

    Thank you Melissa for taking care of Remi! It was her first time to the groomers and she came back looking so cute, smelling so nice and well taken cared by you and your staff. I was looking for a safe and loving place for my 5 1/2 month Remi to be comfortable to stay for a few hours without me there. Melissa, reassured me that she will take good care of her and that if Remi was afraid of something during her grooming, she would stop and let me know and she did. Remi, was afraid of the the filing of her nails so Melissa did not force it. I knew I picked the right place when I saw a dog na Carbon quickly walked across the street with his owner straight to the door. Once he saw Melissa, Carbon was so exited and walked right in Love this place and so so happy I found the perfect place for Remi and for her cousin Michi

    She smelled amazing and had the most adorable "blow out" hairstyle. She was exhausted from having so much fun!

    Our puppy had her very first grooming experience here, and we were beyond satisfied with the service! Communication was fluid. We dropped our puppy off since we weren't allowed to come inside due to the covid19 pandemic, and though we were anxious to leave her in the hands of someone we don't know, we could tell upon picking her up that she had a lot of fun! So grateful and will definitely be coming back soon.

    This was Zeus and Lu's second visit to Pupscale Pet Salon. I'm very happy with the service I am given from start to finish. My dogs come out happy, stress free, clean, and look beautiful! Thanks to Melissa, Michael and the rest of the Pupscale team. We'll be back!

    I've been taking my Coco to Pupscale for about 2 years or so and I have NEVER been disappointed with Melissa's service. Mel is easy to communicate with and she ALWAYS does exactly what I ask for when it comes down to my dogs look. Won't be changing groomer anytime soon.

    Just had my 2lb teacup poodle for her first grooming with Melissa she took her time with me and Chloe we are so grateful and she just looks so cute. Thank you for answering all my questions

    If Michaelangelo and Jane Goodall had a love child who became a dog groomer, it would be Melissa at Pupscale. She is insanely sweet and patient with my dogs, especially with our little mutt who can be quite skittish and fearful sometimes. Our standard poodle is always returned to us looking great with a meticulously sculpted top-knot and ears. I'm amazed at how she can make his top-knot a perfect sphere. Our dogs are always excited to see Melissa, too; they literally cry when we pull up to her shop. We were initially referred to Melissa by another dog at the dog park. We won't go anywhere else.

    I'm so happy I found pupscale. My Edith May always looks great and feels great when she's all done. I love her bandanas and adorable flowers. Melissa is super friendly and she truly cares and listens to what I have to say. She's books up fast but she's worth the wait!

    Let me start off by saying how amazing Melissa is from start to finish. I reached out to her via yelp for quote it was already 8pm and she responded right away communicated to me her experience with Airedale terrier and expressed the cost right off the back on what it would be for such a breed. She place me on her list if there were going to be any cancellations. All weekend I was hoping she'd call and what do you know Saturday she had 2:30 cancellation. So I took Bear and myself to meet Melissa for the first time. Right off the back Bear loved Melissa instantly and off he went. Melissa text me the whole time Bear was with her letting me know he was doing great and felt like he was in great care. When I picked Bear up he was new handsome boy looked exactly like his breed. Melissa is now apart of our family and will be seeing her forever :)

    Took my sister pup Bear and wow ... Look at the transformation ... Ghetto to fabulous handsome looking pup. Thank you, Melissa.

    She's not a very nice person. I wouldn't trust her with my pet. She's an internet bully. Beware.

    My dog Future goes to PSS once per week for day care and stays there whenever I go out of town or…read moreon holiday. They take great care of him and send daily pics which I really appreciate. I have a crazy schedule, and whenever I need to extend his stay, they are always more than accommodating and willing to help my guy. That flexibility gives me so much peace of mind. The best review comes from F himself though: as soon as I grab his overnight bad and start packing his goods he gets excited because he knows he is going to hang with his furriends. It's comforting to know he's happy and well cared for when I am away. My only request would be a live video feed at the facility so we could watch our dogs playing in the pens. I would love being able to check in and see how much fun they are having!! I highly recommend PSS Upland AND the Pomona lo.

And when he's home , he's exhausted !!He also does play dates here for a few hours and he meets his little doggie friends(also regulars here). The staff is so attentive and provides me daily photo and short text updates of how Kingston is doing. They communicate well here. Every photo that is sent to me, Kingston is smiling ear to ear! When I drop my Frenchie off here, I don't worry because I know that the staff is going to take care of him be that he is going to have fun here.

They cannot be flexible nor figure out a solution that will be beneficial to both the client and the business resulting in an unauthorized charge. I do not recommend this business. Rebuttal: We still disagree on the circumstances and how the dispute was handled. (Note to Owner: Your clients should know that I tried to reach a reasonable solution with you, the owner, but the manager said you couldn't talk to me and that you were NOT AvAILABLE yet here you are available to write a long one-sided narrative response minutes after I hung up therefore your one-sided narrative doesn't have your clients input nor the full picture). Your clients should know I tried to work it out with you and I am still willing to work out a compromise. Your clients should know that just because you write a long narrative response doesn't mean you're correct.. I still dispute your version on how this was handled. As a result, I still DO NOT recommend this establishment. I will not return. You are on notice! I cancel all future appointments , I still dispute the charges, and will not recommend this establishment to anyone.

When you ask her too many questions that's she's incapable of answering or helping you navigate through, she becomes irritated and it shows. Simply put, she needs better customer service training, or a change of attitude because her internal temperament is being projected and spilling into her work and that is unprofessional. My fist encounter with her was when we did our tour, Junior was exceptional is giving a thorough tour and explanation of how the day is run at Dogtopia. Impressive and very clean facility. However, after my tour, Crystal went over the pricing , terms and contract. Of course I had many questions, she answered them to the point. in the end you could sense her frustration. I let it slide, because I was really impressed with the place . The second time, I asked her to make an appointment for me at the front desk. She then refers me to the app, which I was having difficulty navigating. When I asked her for assistance, she didn't not know how to navigate it herself and then annoyingly said- I'll just make it for you here but next time you can just do it on the app. I mean, c'mon it's part of your job, just make the appointment for your customer . The third was my last draw with her, I forgot to make an appointment , and she just gave me so much attitude and almost tried to turn me and my dog away. She said- we might not have enough crates because we're fully booked. Clearly she's making an excuse because if she's capable of problem solving ( which she acts like she is) , then her staff can very well obtain a crate from the other room. I've also had the experience of my dog being placed in the romper room without giving me notice ( which I did not complain about). So I know that moving her to romper is a possibility, instead of saying oh toy box is completely full. Instead of smiling and just make it work, she acted like she was doing me a HUGE favor and I was such a nuisance. I spoke to Junior who was very professional and apologetic about the situation. I am extremely disappointed that amongst your team of extra ordinary professionals like Mercedes, Junior and all the coaches who lovingly welcome my dog, she is the most inauthentic of them all. Junior tried to defend her by saying- I've seen Crystal provide good customer service and my response to that is- she does until the conversation does not go her way. Meaning it's her narrative that we customers have to follow. I think not. Do yourself a favor and provide more training for her, because one bad seed can ruin your well managed business and good reputation.
