Virginia took our call and was nice at first, let us know there was space the next day and seemed really flexible about drop-off, haircut options, etc. The next morning, we dropped him off. A couple hours later, we get a call letting us know he was ready to be picked up and was told to pick him up immediately because he was barking. Upon pickup, we noticed his hair wasn't really trimmed, it was still really long. It just looked like he got a bath and blowout. We had sent reference photos of a standard puppy cut we normally get for our puppy with our normal groomer, so wasn't sure why his hair was still so long. They said they will cut it shorter but will need another 30 minutes. After another 30 mins, Virginia called us back and very rudely said "you need to pick this dog up, this is the best we're going to be able to do and he's barking and annoying the other dogs." Her tone and demeanor were incredibly rude and unnecessary. What confused me is when we showed up for final pickup, we heard several dogs barking and none of them were the pup we dropped off, I wonder if they were getting similar phone calls. Though they were able to get his hair shorter, it was very poorly done. The legs and underbelly area are still really long and there are several areas where his hair length is uneven and awkward looking. They charged more than our normal groomer, did a really poor job, and Virginia treated us very rudely.

She comes back super soft, completely mat-free, and smelling amazing every single time. She's long-haired and not the easiest to groom, so I really appreciate the care and skill Santiago and his team put into every visit. I recently started taking both of my dogs here as well. They're short-haired and pretty easy, but it's still such a relief knowing they're in good hands. Their nails are always perfectly trimmed, they come back clean, happy, and fresh, and the whole experience is consistently great. I love being able to drop all three off and know they're going to be well cared for. Amazing service, kind staff, and reliable every time. Highly recommend!

When I brought my dog to Janna at Hair of the Dog, Janna was immediately concerned. She took the time to completely remove my dog's undercoat, and cut away hair that was hopelessly matted. Janna also trimmed my dog's nails, which is not an easy task, since my dog really dislikes it. When I picked up my dog I couldn't believe how much better she looked. All that nasty undercoat had been removed and "feathers" trimmed. I can't remember her looking so good since she was a puppy. Janna was so friendly to me and my dog.

I was extremely worried for my dog's first professional grooming as he had a rough start in his life. I dropped him off with reassurance that he would be treated as a puppy and take things slow and kind of on his terms and what he allowed. His groomer Alyssa reported back that he did well and tolerated almost everything well. Not a huge fan of the nail trim, but dealt. I picked him up and he was roaming the shop with a fellow dog friend and had a doggie smile he was ready to go home but seemed content and not overly stressed. He looks great and smells clean and his lil haircut looks great. Definitely A+ for his groomer Alyssa and the environment! Alyssa and Cooper will be friends for years to come no doubt.
