    Uneven cut by inexperienced groomer
    Courtnie W.

    The photos clearly show the terrible haircut, where he was shaved down to the skin, and where fur was ripped out. The work speaks for itself. Akumi is a healthy 13y/o dog who stands and runs everyday. This groomer advertises "special care" for dogs and yet, complains AND blames the dog/owner for any extra attention. Tess' reply confirms exactly what I shared in my original review. Notice how she did not address any of the photos but she sure did leave quite an essay. In good faith, I have called, texted, sent photos, and left a voicemail to resolve this together and not one form of communication was replied to. Tess left me no choice but to escalate the issue and contact my bank. The bank concluded that my disputed charge is valid due to negligent and incomplete work. Tess also had another opportunity during the second review of my claim but did not provide documentation or otherwise to overturn the favor of the claim.

    Tess is hands down THE BEST!!! My little girl Bella has been refused by many many groomers because she's biting and though she's only 6 lbs, Bella can be very feisty. Tess was recommended by another groomer and she didn't disappoint. Her whole team deserves a shout out! They took their time to get to know Bella, they were gentle..... they are simply the best! If your pet has an anxiety being with strangers like Bella, if pet grooming is turning like a nightmare to you and your pet.....call Tess, she can do magic like what she did to Bella. I will give Tess and team 10 stars if I can!!!

    TESSLAN dog spa best nail trim of their lives!!
    Hope C.

    Five PLUS stars for the experience at TESSLAN Dog Spa! Relocating to Bellevue, one of the many services we needed to find was a new groomer for our 3 puppers-Greta, a six year old 70 pound American Staffordshire Terrier, Ollie and Deedo our senior (read cranky) chihuahuas. Tess along with her assistant Harry gave Greta the full experience, bath, blow dry, nail trim. When I went to pick her up she was roaming free, following Tess around like her new BFF! I say this because as sweet as Greta is she is NOT fond of a bath and usually wants to run out of the salon upon my arrival. Her ease and comfort in a potentially stressful situation made me so happy! She was so proud of her pretty bandana post bath, another kind touch along with the calming essential oils, soothing music, and no kenneling will bring us back again and again! The photo shows the littles getting their nail trims (also much hated and very stressful). Tess allowed me to stay right with them and soothe them while she quickly and efficiently took care of their lil paws. Prices are in line with service provided. My dogs are not traumatized, I didn't spend all day waiting for a call to pick them up, and Tess was a pleasure to do business with. Easily FIVE STAR service and more!! TL;DR-TESSLAN DOG SPA 10/10 recommend!!!

    First time ever going to any groomers therefore I was very nervous about my puppy being mishandled. I took a lot of time doing research on the best groomers. No matter the distance or cost, I wanted to ensure my puppy will be in the best care. Thankfully, I had found Tess. Although she is located 40 minutes away from where I live, she is well worth the drive! She was very attentive to my puppy, Remy. Tess allowed me to stay and watch as Remy was getting a bath, nails trimmed, and groomed; which put me at ease, as I mentioned that I was concerned about groomers mishandling my puppy. I love how she was patient and understanding that it was Remy's first time getting groomed. I also love the fact that there are no kennels in Tess's grooming salon. I can definitely tell that she has a passion for what she does. After my experience with Tess, I completely trust her with Remy. I will definitely make the drive just so that Remy is in the best care.

    His cut is perfect!

    Tess and her team are absolutely amazing. My dog had a bad experience at a different groomer and became terrified to be touched and especially groomed, they told me to not bring him back because he was too difficult. I was then pointed to Tesslan Dog Spa, I am so happy and grateful I found this place. Tess is so patient, gentle, kind, and takes her time with my sweet boy. I 100% trust her with him every time I drop him off there, she works with him to ensure he feels comfortable and earns his trust. She does such a great cut you can see how cute he looks in the picture I included :) Thank you to Tess and her team!!

    I've been taking my little girl to see Tess for a little under a year now and I am a believer in her methodology. My dog had a nightmare experience with a different groomer, so I wanted to be more discerning with whichever groomer I worked with next. Tess goes above and beyond what any groomer is expected to do, and my dog has benefited greatly from it. I'm a first time dog owner, and Tess has been instrumental in showing me how to brush her at home regularly to keep grooming a stress-free experience. I see a noticeable difference in how easy it is for me to brush my dog at home now! The attention to detail Tess and her team uses when grooming pets makes it worth every single penny. The way I see it, I'm happy to invest a little extra if it means the quality of life for my dog increases.

    Perfectly clipped nails.
    Renuka W.

    Chloë rarely lets anyone cut her nails. I was afraid I'd have to take her to the vet to get sedated for a cutting. Her nails were out of control. Lorena and Tess got the job done! Oh and I was in the waiting room when they clipped the nails I didn't hear any whining or crying from Chloë.. pain free! Look how cute her mani-pedi is! Her fur trimming is cute too, no doubt but I know the nails were a challenge. Thank you!

    Great experience for my pup here! She is a one year old golden and i loved the low stress aspect of the grooming. I will definitely only be bringing my pup here

    Perfect corgi butt trim.
    Sabina C.

    Down to earth business owner who really had my fur baby's best interest. He came out looking and smelling his best. Everything from a good teeth brushing, butt hair trim, nail clipping and bath. They took care to even clean his ears. 10/10 would recommend. Come a little early, it's not immediately obviously where it's located.

    AFTER!!

    I do not recommend this groomer. In my opinion, they do not care about your pet's well being. High staff turnover.

    From scheduling to drop off to the final touches on my pets groom/spa day best friends of Bellevue…read moremakes it super easy. They are able to get us in within a few days or schedule several months out at a time emergency attention to eye crusty with same or next day Request if you have a white dog who gets goopy eyes that can get sealed shut or infected, if you know then you know this is an important feature. My dogs eyelids have insanely curly fur that will go straight into his eyes if it's not kept closely clipped My dog always seems to be happy to come out of the car and into the salon, which has not always been the case. My dog can be mighty and unpredictable and even aggressive and somehow or other, they are able to give him an experience that he is enthusiastic to come back to again and again They are able to accommodate my desire for the longer fur in the cold and wet months and then a shorter coat for summer. I'm from Los Angeles where it's hard to find groomers who are still willing to work on cats, but best friends has a cat groomer that comes multiple times a week and they have been really great with my older also somewhat aggressive cat getting and keeping him Matt free without a full body, shave in his senior years as he grooms himself less often. I will try to update with a picture after our next groom.

    New owners are not good to animals . I've been taking my 3…read moredogs here for years - 2 grooms after the new management - all came back shaking and upset . Cuts were terrible . Not worth complaining /going back a 3rd time if they don't treat animals well. I felt terrible . Don't go here ! Not kind to your pooch:-(
