*DO NOT GO if you want your instructions to be listened to* I don't usually leave negative reviews, but I felt this needed to be shared. I brought my Papillon to QQ Dog Grooming and clearly asked--both in person and via text--to keep his ears long to preserve the signature look of his breed. I even provided a photo reference and confirmed the instructions again when I dropped him off. Unfortunately, they still cut his ears short, completely disregarding my request. When I brought it up, the groomer casually said they "shaped up the ears" and barely even apologized and didn't bother to offer to make things right, but this wasn't a minor miscommunication--it was a clear and repeated request that was ignored. It will now take a long time to grow back, and it's especially frustrating because his ears are such a defining feature of the Papillon breed. I appreciate that mistakes happen, but what's disappointing is the lack of accountability and attention to detail. If you care about breed-specific grooming or want your instructions to be followed, I'd suggest going elsewhere. Attached is a photo of what a Papillon is supposed to look like (with long ears) and photos of how they cut off the very defining features of my dog's breed read more

Vanessa and the whole time at QQ's are just wonderful. We take our miniature poodle there and every time she comes out looking both cute and totally happy. I feel that she is in good hands there, and that's worth every penny, but they are also very affordable as NYC groomers go! A neighborhood gem. Daphne says thank you! read more

Easy to get an appointment. Friendly and accommodating service. Our pup was beautifully taken care of for a wash and trim. Will definitely be coming back soon! read more

They're super!! Referred by many that they're the best!they provide comprehensive services+ have good supplies + dogs adore them!

Started taking my dachshund (Teddy) here regularly. They always do an amazing job and I would definitely recommend.

I'm always so pleased and happy to bring my dog Jagger to see Helen the owner of QQ pet grooming. She always does such an amazing job grooming him and takes such wonderful care of him. I've been all over New York City to find the best groomer and person for my pet. She really takes her time with him, Is so precise with grooming him and works really hard with her business. I would never think of taking him anywhere else In NYC. She Is the very best hands down with keeping and making appointments and really communicates to unsure me Jagger Is ready or ok for pick up. I'm so happy this gem of a business was referred to me several years ago. I wouldn't think of bringing him anywhere else. read more

I have been taking my rescue Shih Tzu here for 5 years. Always overpriced and never get the cut I've asked for. Last month I was asked to sign a waiver because my dog is a senior. This month she didn't even have the courtesy to tell me she wouldn't take him again, for being a senior, texted later. I usually pay $110 (plus tip, even though she's the owner), and Pet Co charges $22. Bad customer service and overpriced! read more

I recently adopted a Pitbull, Mochi, from the shelter and he was sooo smelly! I've been researching for someone to take him to get a doggy bath and stumbled across QQPets. It's in my neighbourhood too so I decided to give it a try. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by Ivy and Helen. Helen owns the place and she was very friendly. She immediately took Mochi inside and I waited around an hour and a half to pick him up (it's a small space so take a walk around the neighbourhood and don't overcrowd them). When I picked him up, Mochi came out with a HUGE smile. No fear, no discomfort, no anxiety. That's when you know you scored a good groomer. They must have taken such good care of him while bathing him! He smells SO good, looks so handsome and Helen even gifted Mochi a red bandana to look dapper. I highly recommend this place for your pet and I will be coming back! read more

I have been taking my pomeranian here for over 3 years now, and now that I'm moving out of the city, QQ Grooming is one of the staples I'm going to miss the most. Seriously, my pom leaves this place looking SO beautiful every time. I highly highly recommend you bring your doggy here if you're looking for a job well done. Thanks Helen!

We have been to QQ a few times now. Overall, we were satisfied with the service and liked our pup's haircut. We are very careful about who we trust our dog with since she is only 4 lbs. The last time we got her groomed at QQ, I noticed that my dog had a cut on her stomach when we came home. I understand that when dogs are moving around while getting groomed, they can get nicked. The only problem I have is that they never communicated this to us. My dog had a scab that lasted for weeks! I remember that when I got to the shop to pick her up and asked how it went, Helen simply responded with "Yeah, your dog moves around a lot." I have seen my dog getting groomed many times (when we used to have a groomer come to our place) and she stays very calm and still if she is comfortable with the groomer. So this made me feel as though my dog was not comfortable here at all. read more

Horrible!! The Asian woman who trimmed my dogs nails was completely unqualified. Both my dog and myself were traumatized. Don't GO!! read more

Helen is very professional, kind and caring. It was Togo's first visit for grooming. She dedicated a lot of time to Togo and also answered all my questions regarding home care ( such as how to clean his ears, how to brush him...) Togo came out happy, shiny ,super clean and fashionable (with his new Blue bandana from Helen) He was sleeping when I came to pick him up and I did not see any sign of stress. We will definitely come back! I strongly recommend QQ Pets Grooming for first comers and any other dogs that want to have the best experience during the grooming. read more

This woman knows one cut and pretends to know more than that when you leave the dog in her care. When i came back, the dog was just shaved down. The cuts were blunted and uneven. She uses the excuse that the dog is matted when the dog is brushed everyday and is not matted - especially not enough to warrant this cut. Even so, a cut so drastically different to what i spent 15 minutes explaining would warrant some sort of communication. As i always say, you can always cut more but you can't put it back. When communicating how disappointed I was in this cut, the only reaction was "maybe you don't like my style." I would absolutely not recommend this place, and I plan on sharing that opinion with every dog owner I interact with at the dog run and parks in the area. Severely disappointing - Unless you want a poodle cut, go somewhere else. I'm including pictures of before and after. My dog is an Aussie mix and now he looks like a shitzu. read more

If you have a long haired dog they will shave them no matter what--even if you specifically ask them not to--claiming it's matted. Just lazy. Do not recommend. read more

My boyfriend took our 5 m.o. puppy, Finn (a wheaten terrier), here for his very first grooming. He can be an absolute terror when it comes to brushing unless you shovel treats into his mouth the entire time, so I was nervous that he might be treated roughly out of frustration and end up hating being professionally groomed. NOT the case here. My boyfriend had only compliments for this spot, saying Finn absolutely loved his groomer and that everyone in the place seemed to genuinely love their animal clients, greeting them enthusiastically with lots of love and pats. They also replicated our picture guides perfectly and I was so glad-- wheatens' first haircuts are already very sad as it basically turns them into a new dog because their fur color grows out from puppy brown to adult white. The fact that they got the haircut just right helped ease the sadness of losing his puppy coloring. With my previous doggy, none of his groomers were particularly friendly, which I understood up to a point, as I'm sure it's a job that probably tries one's patience -- so my boyfriend's glowing review when he returned last Saturday from QQ was such a relief. We live just up the street and QQ's will definitely remain Finn's permanent groomer. For those curious, the total was around $90 for Finn: he's about 25-30 lbs and went in with fairly long, thick fur and we asked for a pretty short cut to finish out the summer with. Another note: love that the owner responds to text messages, even when it's a request to reschedule. SO convenient! read more

Helen (the owner) is a lovely person and QQ Pets Grooming has been my go to grooming spot for all the years I've lived in the area. Text ahead for the best chance to reserve an appointment at your desired time. Cuts are done well and quickly--I could always trust Helen to make my curly pup look perfect. One time he got something in his eye and Helen called to check in on him more than once. Will miss this place when we move. read more

My dog looks amazing thank you. My dog went in really knotty and most places will just shave her completely down but they did an amazing job grooming her . Will definitely go back read more

Absolutely love this place. Been taking my mini poodle since he was a puppy. Hands down the best groomer in Manhattan.

Helen is amazing!! She worked her magic on our one year old, highly energetic golden doodle puppy. After hearing horror stories from others about groomers not following instructions, and puppies being shorn too short, I was nervous about Murphy's first grooming experience - Helen put me at ease. Scheduling the appointment was very convenient via text. When we met, we discussed exactly what we wanted and she did precisely what she said she would with Murphy, and took her time with him. We are so happy with the result, and will most definitely be going back. She even included a cute little bandana for Murphy. Don't hesitate to bring your dog here! We picked her after doing a lot of research about groomers across various neighborhoods in the city, and she's the best in terms of quality of work and price. read more

I keep moving among NY, SF and other cities in recent years, so I by far I have tried 5 different groomers. QQ Pets Grooming is the one I like the most and the only one that I visit again and again. Helen is friendly and patient. I'm totally satisfied with her work, especially when I realize how terrible other groomers could be. It is easy to make an appointment. I don't need to wait another weeks to have my dog groomed. It is a bit pricy but it is totally worthy. Here are some photos after 3 different visits to QQ Pets. Helen did amazing work every time. Always smooth, clean, crisp and exactly the style I asked for. read more

My dog was treated with whitening shampoo at QQ despite multiple requests to not do so. I let Helen know that my dog had allergies and that his skin is sensitive. I also gave her his hypoallergenic shampoo to use. She assured me that they would use it on him, and told me not to worry. Yet, my dog was treated with whitening shampoo - I noticed that brown spots on his feet and mustache (that developed as my dog started aging) were almost gone and the fur looked unnaturally shiny white. Shortly after the grooming his skin was irritated and itchy for several days. I am disappointed and feel I cannot trust QQ with my dog anymore. read more

I have been using QQ Pets for about a year and the service has been excellent. My labradoodle always gets a very professional cut and she's happy going in and leaving. Pricing is fair, and I especially appreciate the fact that Helen keeps to a schedule. I know that I can drop my dog off on the time scheduled, and that I can pick her up in about 3 hours. Also, Helen is very easy to reach by text. I can recommend QQ Pets! read more

My fussy 10-pound poodle had his first grooming with QQ today and he walked out looking sharp (yet adorable!), smelling good, and pleased with himself. I didn't know what style/cut I wanted, so all I did was mumble "please make him round and cute", and the groomer did an amazing job! She was extremely professional, helpful, and very clearly experienced with handling and grooming dogs of all temperaments, shapes, and sizes. You'd be surprised by the number of groomers I've encountered who sometimes struggle with poodle fur. Making an appointment was easy, the grooming itself took only 2-3 hours, and cost $75 (if you use card, I think its ~$81). Given the high level of meticulous care that was put into my pup's grooming experience, I honestly think its worth every penny. Can't recommend QQ enough! read more

Helen is the BEST GROOMER!! She takes her time with my Shih Tzu Faith's grooming, but she always grooms to perfection! She has never made an error or had an oversight! I have used other groomers in the past who have charged almost double the money and rushed the job, only to have my dog looking like she wasn't completely groomed. Helen is very kind and sweet and completely understands that my dog is a member of my family and beyond just a dog. Helen always works with me when it comes to last minute appointments and I appreciate that. In this neighborhood there are so many other groomers, there is no alternative, Helen is the only option!! read more

Brought my pup here based on a trusted friend's recommendation. They did a great job. First and most important I picked up Dixie (my Yorkie) and she was happy and healthy. Secondly Dixie had THE MOST ADORABLE haircut! I had explained what I wanted when I dropped her off and she was even cuter than I could have imagined. Thank you for taking such good care of my pup and giving her the cutest haircut! We'll be back for sure! read more

QQ grooming was awesome. I took my Maltese puppy for her first ever haircut today. I must say I was very nervous, however, upon arrival Helen was super nice to all of us (Whitney(my puppy), my son and myself). I briefly showed Helen pictures of the haircut I wanted and left. 3hrs later Helen called me saying she was ready. My oh my, Whitney looked ADORABLE! Helen did an amazing job she also added a little bandana accessory which was super cute! Full grooming for my small 4.4lb Maltese was $75 (not including tax) and was worth every penny! We will definitely be long time customers! read more

QQ to the rescue! I was in need of a new groomer who would be consistent with my Sasha and I think I've finally found it. Sasha paws were matted because she refused to let me combed the hair there and would run and hid anytime I tried so I explained that when I called so they would have an idea of what would need to be done. When we arrived today after tackling the wind and rain from the Bronx both ladies greeted me with a smile. I showed them a old picture of Sasha so they would know what kind of cut I wanted for her and then I left the shop. I'm always very nervous when it comes to taking Sasha to a new vet or groomer so I went and had brunch and then ice cream(LOL). Yes, I ate my nerves away and after a couple of hours I was called and there was my Sasha all pretty and ready to go the minute she saw me. Once we got home I was able to look at her more and they truly did an amazing job! She smelled very good but, I was more impressed by how clean her ears were. We will definitely be sticking with QQ! Thanks Ladies, Mo & Sasha read more

This place is absolutely aaaaaamazing! My Pomeranian was looking rough when I brought him in because I wasn't able to bathe him for a while, and he hated when I would try to brush him. We were both greeted with love and I felt very comfortable leaving my Vinny here, he came out looking as handsome as ever totally worth the wait and I'm so appreciative of the woman who groomed him. I could tell he was comfortable with her. Thank you! read more

This funny little place rocks!! I took my dog companion for nail cut, and the lady even went beyond and filed them after cutting.

I recommend. read more

Helen is AMAZING! My very 'spirited' 4 month old mini schnauzer puppy desperately needed his first grooming and having given him many a bath, I know what a handful he can be! I was expecting to get a phone call minutes after dropping him off telling me that this demon could not be groomed... 2 hours later, Helen called and said he was ready to be picked up, and when I arrived she was all smiles, and my puppy was SO HANDSOME! She even put a smart little bandana on him:) MOST IMPORTANTLY, she found a tick on him, which she carefully removed and saved in a baggie to show me, and wanted to make sure that I had him on tick prevention. Knowing that she not only was able to handle my little beast & restore his gorgeous looks, but that she actually CARES about the animals in her care, means that I will be a lifetime client. Couldn't more highly recommend!! read more

LOVE this place. My dog, Georgia, just got her first groom here, and the experience was amazing. So often, groomers will practically shave her, but I asked for a longer cut and am so happy with the result. Georgia looks great -- trimmed but still warm enough for winter! When I showed up, my normally nervous dog was curled up in a dog bed, fast asleep. We will unquestionably be back to QQ. read more
