I have been taking my three Maltese to this groomer for more than 20 years. For two decades, my…read moredogs were always beautifully groomed and never once shaved down. That all changed when Janna took over as owner/manager and brought in a new groomer last year, Lateesha. Since then, every visit has been a nightmare. Lateesha shaves my dog down every single time with the excuse that he is "matted." EVERY SINGLE TIME! Lies. In over 20 years, this never once happened with the previous groomer. It is pure laziness and shows a lack of skill. She even cut the length of my dog's tail, which was completely unnecessary and cruel. It has never grown back! On my last visit, I tried to avoid Lateesha and asked for a different groomer. They gave me Amanda, but it was clear Lateesha had already said something to her. Amanda immediately claimed my dog was "matted" and then used a FLEA COMB...yes, a flea comb...to try to "prove" it. She started raking at the hair from the root, which is obviously impossible and completely inappropriate. Lateesha was in the background wearing earbuds but listening to the entire encounter and shaking her head as if I was trouble. That was the final straw. I gathered my dog and told her I would not be returning, but I would like to hear from the owner.
Janna, the owner, is no better. She is more concerned with showing dogs and being away than running this business or making sure clients' dogs are properly groomed. I asked that she call me about what happened, and of course she never did. No follow up, no apology, no accountability.
This place has gone from a trusted groomer to a disgrace. Janna is absent and careless, Lateesha is lazy and unskilled, and Amanda followed right in line with their excuses. After DECADES of loyalty, I will never bring my dogs back. If you value your pets, stay far away from Janna and her team.
Note: I haven't heard from Janna, but I'm sure her trademark defensive rebuttal (complete with attitude and accusations of matting, as in past reviews) will appear in record time.
