    After picking up our dog from sophisticuts, he was covered in bald spots(we specifically asked do NOT shave), cuts, and clumps of long matted hair. The groomer also felt the need to make unnessicary comments on the physical appearance of the person picking him up. This was very unprofessional. They may have been having a bad day, but our dog is not going to want to go back after that experice. Poor boy keeps hiding his face looking pitiful.

    We have been bringing our pure-bred Bichon Frise, Teddy, to Nicole at Sophisicuts for many years. I am VERY particular that he is cut like a "show dog", not a puppy cut", and Nicole never lets me down. She has always been extremely professional and kind, and he is always happy and handsome when done!! I have gone to many other groomers around Lake Norman before finding Nicole, and no one come close to the accuracy and quality of the cut. Sophosticuts is above and beyond everyone else in the area, especially if you have a pure bred dog. Not everyone has the scissoring skills or knowledge of how different breeds are cut which is needed to achieve this time-consuming task. Thank you Nicole!

    Nicole does a great job with haircuts, nail trims and just making our dog relaxed during his visits. He is always anxious when he arrives but is happy when we pick him up which tells me he had a great time and given loving care by Nicole. I highly recommend this business for your pets

    Looking beautiful after her visit to Sophisticuts!

    I've been taking my maltipoo to Sophisticuts for a few years and have been really pleased! Nicole is wonderful! So friendly so you just know your dog is in good hands. She always calls me right when she's finished so I can go pick my dog up which I really appreciate! I try to schedule appointments ahead of time but she's helped me get my dog in last minute a few times, which has been a lifesaver! Definitely recommend if you're in the area!

    Matted????

    Awful experience today with Sophisticuts grooming! After driving 20 minutes back home with my toddler they text me and tell me it'd be an extra $20 to brush her or they can shave her. I told them to not do anything I'll just pick her up and take her somewhere else as I wouldn't be able to afford $60 plus $20 and I did not want to have them shave her. When I arrived she said it'd be $20! I said for what? I told you not to do anything. The owner went on arguing with me saying "we don't do anything for free". I ended up paying and feel extremely ripped off! I don't expect things for free however if I specifically tell you not to do something I shouldn't be charged for something you do!

    Happy Scooter!

    An amazing experience, bring your dog here!!!!! It was easy to make an appointment online. The…read moreladies at the front desk were all very friendly and the groomer made sure she knew exactly what we wanted. She did SUCH a great job!!! He looks adorable. He's a doodle and had some matting and she was able to shave just where he was matted and leave everything else fairly long (like I asked). Typically when I pick him up from other groomers, he is completely shaved from being matted but not here. He is so soft and fluffy. I also love that they are a stay and play!! So you can drop your dog off at any point, and pick them up at any point during business hours. No late fees, no extra charges!!! I love this- I always hate planning my day around when my dog is going to be ready at other groomers. It seemed like the dogs were just wandering around the grooming area and there was a little area for strictly playing, but it's not like they take them to a separate room or outside, but I still love how they socialize and aren't caged!! It was pricy- at other groomers I have paid $80-$90 for a groom and here it was $105, but that also includes getting to play and socialize for as long as you need, so I think it's worth it!! I will note, they charge a 4% credit card fee if you use one. But they don't if you Venmo or pay cash. We will definitely be back!

    Very disappointed. It's our third time coming here and so far i had been satisfied. My dog gets…read moreanxious at the groomer and his groomer was nice and patient. Today we came in and they scheduled him w a different groomer even though my appointment was made 6 weeks out and i asked if he would be w the same groomer. Instead of accommodating the misunderstanding they chose to not see him. Lack of customer service not sure if I'll be back huge inconvenience.

    Thank you for your kindness! This was the first time my dog has received professional grooming…read moreservices. She's a rescue, and very nervous and scared of almost everything, so I was really hesitant. From the moment I called to book an appointment, to when I picked her up, the staff was so kind. As expected, she didn't cooperate very well, but instead of the staff making me feel guilty or shaming my dog, they nicely recommended I talk to my vet about a calming medication to help with the next appointment. Thank you Amanda, and the front desk staff!

    Absolutely Horrible Experience. Do Not Take Your Dog Here!…read more We took our puppy to Modern Pet Salon for the first time because we heard they use scissors instead of clippers, which we thought would be gentler. It turned out to be a terrible mistake. We specifically asked them multiple times not to cut too much of her hair, especially since she doesn't like it, but they insisted she had too many tangles and needed a full trim. Not only did they ignore our request, but they cut our puppy twice, both on her ears--areas where there was no tangled hair at all. They even called us during the appointment to say she was bleeding. Later, they claimed it was because she had an ear hematoma and that they had just trimmed it. That was a complete lie. We took her to the vet, who confirmed that the injury was a fresh cut from grooming and not from any medical condition. She did not have a hematoma. They hurt her, and then tried to cover it up. They also asked us to use an old sock to cover the wound, which felt incredibly unprofessional and careless. Since then, our puppy has been extremely uncomfortable. She keeps shaking her head, clearly bothered by her ears, and she has been very sad and withdrawn. This is the first and only time something like this has ever happened to her. I'm beyond disappointed. Not only should they have never charged us for this awful experience, but they should not be handling dogs, especially sensitive breeds like doodles, if they can't do so safely and honestly. I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone. Please protect your pet and take them somewhere else.
