I booked with this groomer because her written communication looked very professional and so did her work, but the in-person experience told me it was Chat Gpt!. When you arrive, she meets you at the gate behind her house with a bonnet on her head without greeting you at all. Her plan is to take your dog and walk away unless you speak. The energy was so cold that I ended up speaking first because I felt uncomfortable. I almost canceled the appointment because something felt off, but I gave her the benefit of the doubt. I should've followed my instincts and left.
She also charged a $30 matting fee, even though I didn't feel any matting myself--but I paid it without questioning.
She texted me at 11 and informed me that he would be ready in an hour to an hour and a half but wait for the next message.
I headed to her house and once I was parked I received the exit text. I never received the exit text until 1:20 PM . She claimed she sent it at 11:59, but it never delivered to my phone until I was outside of her house. As soon as the message reached me, I thought I was completely on time. Her own instructions say she has bad service so if she can have bad service other ppl can too.
She informed me that I missed the grace period. I explained that the message had just come through. Her response was, "Did you not read the entire message?, I told her I thought after I received this message I had 30 mins but I was already outside of her house. After she saw I wasn't going to pay an additional late fee she just told me to meet her at the gate. This is exactly why a business with bad service should call--not rely on unreliable texting.
When she handed me my dog, her face was angry and she still didn't speak, didn't greet me, and had an attitude. And what concerned me most was that my dog wasn't wagging his tail or acting happy afterward, which is not like him. If she treated me that rude, I can't help but wonder how badly she treated my pet.
I was shocked at the way I was treated as a new customer. Between the lack of communication, the rigid rules, the attitude, and the fees on fees. I said never again. I prayed over my pet and I would never go back even if I could. read more
