The people that work at Showtime take dog grooming very seriously. If you want your dog to look it's absolute best and groomed like it's literally going to the Westminster dog show, this is the place if you live in San Francisco. The attention to detail is unmatched. Everyone that works here genuinely is nice and I think everyone here loves dogs. Everyone at Showtime is good at what they do and they do not cut corners. I can almost guarantee your dog will be 100% blow dry dry. I can practically guarantee that the dog will be ready for the Westminster dog show. The shop is very orderly. They are experts at what they do. They have as many tools and as dedicated as a doctor would at a hospital. The lobby is warm and welcoming, you are likely to see a Trader Joe's candle going. read more

ABUSIVE AND TOXIC GROOMERS! - BEWARE - Took my dog once and never again. The groomer cut my dog and had the audacity to b**** and complain about the dog's behavior although he was obviously mishandling the dog. He didn't finish and left my dog looking crazy (not finishing grooming him was a blessing in disguise). He's also blatantly disrespectful, combative, arrogant, entitled, and narcissistic. He actively cheats on his wife and hits on his customers while letting them know he has a wife. Then the owner had the audacity to ask where my dog was previously groomed at and say a lot of bullsh** about how it MUST be the dog's fault. There are soooo many reviews here with similar allegations. This is a disturbing pattern of ANIMAL ABUSE. She must be sleeping with the groomer guy. Otherwise, why is he still working there, despite his history? I smell a RAT. They should be EMBARRASSED Almost every other groomers i've looked into within the city don't have reports of ANIMAL ABUSE. Please DON'T spend your money here. Definitely DON'T take your pet here if you love them and care about their safety and psychological well-being. read more

Bernard does a fantastic job grooming our mini Bernedoodle. He's reasonably priced and gives one of the best dog haircuts we've had in years. She was very matted, and while most groomers would have insisted on shaving her, Bernard patiently worked through the tangles (he does charge for dematting, as expected), and gave her a beautifully shaped, hand-scissored cut. He really understands doodle coats -- he owns a doodle and a poodle himself -- and takes the time to deliver a thoughtful, adorable result. Her face looks especially cute, and while she hates having her photo taken, we couldn't be happier with how she turned out. Highly recommend Bernard, especially for anyone with a doodle or curly-coated pup. read more

This place is great! The staff is professional and friendly. It's nice to feel secure leaving our little guy for his haircut, knowing I'll get him back looking cute and not stressed. That peace of mind is worth every cent. Kudos to the whole team. read more

Bernard and the entire crew here are excellent! You wouldn't expect your dog to love the groomer, but she seems ecstatic whenever I bring my pup in! They do a fantastic job at everything - my dog leaves cuter, softer, and smelling so good. read more

This was the best experience I've had with a groomer in the City. From the first conversation on the phone I was sold on bringing in our toy poodle, whose hair has been butchered all around San Francisco in the last two years. Bernard (he owner) was knowledgeable, passionate, and reassuring, so we gave it a shot. I'm SO glad we did. The atmosphere is inviting and the crew welcomed us warmly. Time was take to thoroughly discuss the cut and expectations, which I appreciated. Our girl was matted, so I knew it would be more than just a bath and shape but she was done well within the timeframe discussed. We can always tell when our dog has been traumatized by a grooming, but she returned to us a bouncing, prancing happy little princess with the most adorable cut ever! The muzzle was a little long, though, so we gave her back and Bernard oversaw the redo until it was done to perfection. Wow... what an amazing experience. I walked out a loyal customer. I'm so grateful to have a place to take her now that I can count on for quality work and a great experience. I wholeheartedly endorse this business and hope they stay around for a long time. Thank you, Showtime Grooming! read more

Showtime Grooming - A perfect cut! - Pet Groomers Near Me - San Francisco, California

My dog almost got sepsis after his dematting. The groomer de-matted my dog so aggressively that they left MULTIPLE cuts all over his body which got infected and turned into abscesses. We had to put my dog on multiple rounds of antibiotics due to this groomers negligence. Have spent over $4,000 in vet visits since the incident (3 weeks). My dog is an extremely sweet and gentle boy and it breaks my heart knowing I almost lost him to reckless negligence. If you are dealing with pets, treat them with care--I cannot even begin to imagine how much pain he must have felt during his grooming to yield such severe cuts. Extremely disappointed and upset. The groomer didn't even feel any ounce of remorse towards their actions. read more

Bernard and his team are amazing. My dog Ollie has a very nervous temperament at the groomer, however I know whenever I leave him at Showtime he's in good hands. He always looks great after an appointment. 10/10 recommend grooming and day care. read more

Following up my previous review - my dog now has infected tears on his skin because of how he was treated at showtime grooming. This place should be shut down. This is an abysmal establishment with horrific procedures. Take your dog here if you want to spend a week at the vet fixing what they've done. read more

Bernard is truly a professional dog groomer. I have a miniature poodle and he has had fantastic grooming at Showtime. I highly recommend the service to anyone who wants an excellent groom for their dog. Bernard is fastidious and takes his time with every single client. read more

So grateful for Bernard & crew at Showtime Grooming. Our 2yo, 70Lb Shepherd mix loves [slight exaggeration] going to the groomer, thanks to their great care and apparent love of pups! They do a great job with the bathe, deshedding, nails, and all else it entails - which can be a tall order for our dog, who sheds an impressive amount of hair each day! Bernard is also super cool and lovely to chat with when we catch him there. A great asset to our neighborhood. read more

What a welcome addition to the neighborhood! Professional, friendly and accommodating. Ethical and quality grooming. I love that the owner, Bernard, refers to the animals as "the babies "! Scroll to the bottom to see 11 other rave reviews that Yelp decided were "not recommended ". I've never heard of such a thing that yelp only let in 2 reviews out of 13. Cmon yelp, those 5-star reviews could be really helpful for a Black-owned small business in a super White part of town! read more

Called the other day for pricing and was told not only does it depend on your dog size but also the breed, hmm. I was then directed to send a picture of my fur baby to determine a price. I never got a call back or a response for the picture I sent. This place speaks volume "take my service elsewhere." read more

We absolutely loved our experience here! We noticed our dog needing nail trimming badly and came across this place! The owner made our experience so great, he gave answers to all our questions promptly and nicely. This place is well organized and clean! My dog had so much fun at beach prior to the bath time here that I felt so bad my dog came to this place very sandy. The owner made sure my dog was taken good care of, did wellness check to make sure no history of medical condition as it looked little exhausted from the fun he had in the heat, and kept my dog well hydrated while it's stay. It even came back with a cute bow tie on! Strongly recommend this place 5/5. Price is very reasonable for the cute/clean place they have and for the service they offer! Thank you read more

I don't know where to start on how amazing Bernard was! We called with a last minute grooming request and Bernard was extremely flexible to fit our dog into his very busy day. Our Aussie doodle Ellie has hair that we're not used to and Bernard took the time to help us understand what we need to do to maintain her fur. Not only did Ellie need a haircut, she was matted and Bernard was very accommodating to de-matt her. Bernard regularly checked in with us and we're so happy with her haircut. He did a fantastic job! Bernard is very professional, compassionate, and accommodating! We will definitely take Ellie back and recommend Showtime to our friends. Thank you Bernard! read more

5 stars every single time. Bernard makes it easy to schedule, does an incredible job, and treats my dog like his own. Rudy get's ridiculously excited when we walk into Showtime :). Bernard has groomed my dog a bunch of times, but today he groomed him for my wedding (dog ring bearer duties). I came in with like a million pictures and was annoyingly specific about what I wanted - and he turned out PERFECTLY. Showtime is a no-brainer. If I ever move out of Russian Hill, I'm still going to come back for the level of service and care. read more

Yesterday, I took my puppy Bella to Showtime, and Bernard was wonderful. I was a little nervous because this would be her FIRST groom. Bernard made sure that Bella was confrontable, took his time, and was patient with my puppy. I was completely satisfied with the results, and she even left with a cute pink bow. On our evening walk, we received so many compliments, and I was proud to recommend Showtime Grooming to future clients. I highly recommend for first time grooms. read more

My partner and I just picked up our golden-doodle puppy, Oscar, from Showtime for the second time and we are nothing but happy! Bernard is extremely welcoming and always offers his professional opinion but ultimately encourages us to make the final grooming decisions. Walking in the second time, Oscar was so excited to be back at Showtime! We called around to get ideas for pricing, and Showtime was the most fair and affordable around. Will definitely continue taking Oscar back :) read more

Definitely great. After a very bad prior experience it was a pleasure to find Showtime Grooming. Most important - my dog was very mellow after her bath and grooming. And she was well bathed, brushed out, clean teeth, little toenails clipped... all in all a very good visit. We'll definitely be back again and again. read more

Knox (3 yr old bernedoodle) has some grooming anxiety. Bernard's work is amazing and he (and the staff) are very transparent and communicative with the process. We've gotten many compliments on her cut and this is the best cut she's gotten. We have found our new groomer. Highly recommend. read more

Showtime Grooming is the only place in the city that I've had a wonderful experience at every single time. I originally took my Samoyed here for help with some bad matting, they took their time and I came back to a fluffy, de matted dog. Bernard even taught me how to brush her properly and what tools to use with no judgment. I routinely bring her here and she always comes back looking amazing! read more

Personalized service and did a great job with my pups first groom. She was nervous at the drop off. When I came to pick her up, she was jumping at the counter to get more treats and pats from Bernard. They communicate well and I knew exactly what to expect. I received prompt updates. Easy to make an appointment. I will definitely bring my pup back for another groom. read more

Bernard is amazing, my dog was groomed at many places and would get nicked and developed an infection. Bernard takes his time and the pride and care for your pet is evident. I won't trust anyone else. read more

I had such a fantastic experience with owner. He was incredibly professional and even took my dog as a walk-in, which was so sweet of him. What really stood out to me was how comfortable and relx my dog felt with him with her nail trim. I genuinely can't recommend the shop enough. Will be taking take my Blakey back for more services. read more

Bernard did an amazing job on my dog Mr. Tots! I couldn't believe how cute he looked. And Tots hates getting groomed; when he left he still wasn't thrilled (of course) but also wasn't traumatized which is all I can ask for! Will be back for sure and highly recommend read more

I would really love to leave a great review but have had three bad experiences here so moving on.   First was being told, when I called, that my dog's collar and leash were definitely given to me.  I didn't notice they were missing as I carried my dog from Showtime to my house.  Only later did I notice.  I searched everywhere in my car/house then called back and asked Bernard to please look. He said, "We never send any dogs out without their collar and leash".  I returned later that day and Bernard said they were there and never apologized.    Second time I received a call that brushing out my dog's ears would be an extra $35 (have a small dog) as they were matted.  I brushed them out the night prior and they were not matted.  I told them just to forget it.  The third time I called to book an appt.  Bernard told them to go to their website, as they were no longer taking appts by phone.  So, I booked the appt and then told the groomer exactly what I wanted when I dropped off my dog.  I also said, "Ask Bernard or call me if you have any questions as I've brought my dog here many times".  When I picked him up, he only had a bath and Bernard told me it was MY fault for not speaking to him directly, though he wasn't there when I dropped him off and I gave the very nice groomer (Leo) instructions.  He said the groomer didn't know anything and I need to call him directly going forward.  I don't have his personal cell phone!  Why have groomers working there that the customer is not supposed to talk to?  It's a shame as overall grooming is good but way too $$$ to be treated this way. read more

Showtime Grooming is the best. It recently opened on Russian Hill and is truly a welcomed addition to our neighborhood and community. Bernard, the new owner, could not be more gracious, accommodating, and meticulous in his grooming techniques. He's a true gentleman who the dogs really like.... so easy to communicate with, too. If you have a doodle dog, don't hesitate to check out Bernard and Zoe, Golden Doodle at Showtime. read more

I brought my dog simba here for a full grooming, it was my first time bringing him here. I've been to several grooming salons and I haven't been happy.

Defo recommend read more

Always goes well with Bernard. Staff are very nice and my dog always comes back looking great .

We recently brought our dog Honey here and would highly recommend Showtime for any grooming needs! They did an amazing job with her cut (it was so cute!) and they took excellent care of her. Fair pricing, efficient, patient, professional, welcoming and friendly - we will be back and have recommended this spot to our friends looking for groomers, but wanted to say thank you again! read more

I had a lovely experience with Bernard. I called him last minute and he gave me an appointment right away. My dog had mats all over and expected a complete shaved down dog but Bernard actually dematted him and gave him a wonderful haircut. His salon is not overwhelmingly crowded either (like the other groomers in the city) and my dog was peacefully waiting for me at the corner! I was so surprised to see him calm because he gets distressed at the groomers usually. Would definitely take my dog here again, amazing first time experience. read more

Took my goldendoodle here today and had such a great experience. Bernard is super friendly, helpful, fun and personable. I think it's great that they offer services in addition to grooming.

Bernard did a fantastic job grooming my schnauzer mix, Olive! Her last groom was a bit of a nightmare that resulted in her having major irritation in her eyes from a foreign object. Bernard was friendly, timely, and gave her a great cut... no trauma to pet or pet owner! I'll be back! read more
