Fabulous job on our little Sophie by Michelle! We will always return to Unleashed Spa! We cannot imagine a better place read more

I called for an appointment with a specific groomer, Marianne for the following day. the owner told me "oh we have openings today if you'd bring your dog" but did not tell me that Marianne was not there and possibly no longer there. Since I wrote this review I received a call from Kim saying that it was a misunderstanding and that she had not heard me ask for Marianne. As it turns out, Marianne is not working there at this time. I don't want to put a business in jeopardy and give her the benefit of the doubt. I've altered my Review and raised the number of stars. read more

Owner is rude and lacks maturity. Shaved off all of my dogs, hair and charged a stupid matting fee. Owner than had the audacity to talk shit behind my back about me and call me "drama" yeah f her and f her shop I'm sticking with other grooming places that respect my wishes. Communicate like an adult. I've been living down here for 30 years because I am 30 years old. And I just can't believe the lack of respect I got from her because I may come off as younger. Disturbing. Not to mention my dog never seems happy after being groomed there. read more

When I pulled up in front of the place and saw the awning covered with disgusting bird poop, I should have turned around and gone home. Long story short, Kim misquoted me on the pricing and timing of my dogs grooming. The price was $100 more than quoted and the grooming of my two long haired dogs took 4 hours despite the fact that they were being groomed simultaneously by two different groomers. My past groomers have taken no more than 2.5 hours to do both dogs one at a time. When I came to get my dogs after 4 hours, I could hear my dog whimpering, when he was given back to me he immediately urinated on the salon floor as he had been there so long and could no longer hold it in. I paid over $400 not including tips for both my dogs. This is not a fancy dog spa, it is a bare bones operation and the groom was of average quality. Yes Kim, they had to be hand scissored, that should never take four hours. When the groomer brought Bogie out, he said, "Oh, I guess that's why he was crying". So my boy was left uncomfortable and crying because your groomers can't get their job done in a timely manner. EDIT: In response to Kim. When I picked up my dogs, the male groomer was telling me how Sasha was cuddling with him. There was zero mention of aggression.YOU DID NOT MUZZLE MY DOGS, STOP LYING!!!!! My dogs have been groomed monthly for nine years and they have never shown aggression to any groomer, including yours. NO NEED TO LIE KIM. They are hand scissored regularly and it takes 2 1/2 for both dogs, done by one groomer. My dogs came to you in excellent condition and your failure to do a good job in a timely manner is on you. It's sad you need to make up lies about innocent dogs to make yourself look better. read more

Been taking our Cavapoo Sunny there for almost 5yrs. He sees Michelle and we couldn't be happier with the results. He gets the Teddy Bear cut and looks so adorable that people always stop or smile when we pass on the street. Can't say enough good things about this place! read more

A fantastic pet spa. I have a double coated samoyed. I've used a bunch of "recommend" samoyed places. They refuse to remove any matted fur. She kept getting mats behind her ears, and no groomer would ever do anything for her. We would try to cut/brush them out out ourselves. They would keep reappearing. We took her here and they spent hours teasing out the mats. Six months later, she hasn't had a single mat behind her ears. The price is about double the other groomers we've gone to, but the level of service is in line with the price. They are transparent about the price. We are in the process of an out of state move and made the point to come back. I highly recommend, and am worried about finding a groomer as good as this one. read more

I have been coming here for ... I want to say over a decade. 10 years!! They have always always been above and beyond in terms of professionalism, friendliness and beautiful grooming! My dogs always come out looking fresh and happy - tails wagging, butts wiggling. And that's what it's all about in the end. A happy clean doggy. Thank you to Kim and her wonderful team read more

Highly recommend! My dog was a little nervous at first, but the staff took great care of her. I wanted her fur cut nice and short, especially her butt. Not only did they provide a stylish cut, but they also ensured my dog's comfort and addressed specific concerns. It's evident that they genuinely care about the animals they work with, and that level of dedication is truly commendable. They possess the expertise, compassion, and skills needed to provide top-notch grooming services. My dog not only came out looking fabulous but also seemed more confident and happy after her visit and getting to know the staff. I'm grateful for their exceptional care and attention to detail, and will definitely be returning for future grooming needs. read more

UPDATE: After leaving the review below, the owner left me a voicemail devastated and profusely apologizing that they didn't notice and reassured me that they would never have behaved this way had they known. They promptly offered a refund and a free grooming if I'm willing to give them another chance - they also offered to pay for any vet care should I choose to seek any. While this situation is unfortunate, I am reassured that they also find this to be as unacceptable as I do, and I do believe it was purely an accident. Updating rating to 4 stars. ORIGINAL: They cut my pup in his privates while giving him a haircut today and then didn't even bother to tell me about it. I had to find out tonight when rubbing his tummy. There is so much not okay with this I don't even know where to begin. 1. As a professional groomer that charges 3 digits a session, the bare minimum is you do not hurt the animal entrusted to your care. And 2. if you make a mistake, own it???? Tell me and apologize and try to make it right??? Do you know how awful I feel discovering a cut on such a sensitive part of my pup, and I didn't even know? Seriously, shame on you. read more

Just took my 2lb 16 week old puppy here for the first time. It was her first time getting groommed!! Kim the owner was so kind, and the groomer, Karina was so gentle, patient, and lovely. I'm happy that they eased my dog into grooming-- I asked for a particular cut and they were transparent saying if my puppy was too scared they'd trim her just a bit instead of traumatizing her for the first time by doing the short cut I requested. I cannot wait to come back here. Attaching before and after photos. read more

Prices go up whenever they please. Easily $100+ more than the nearest other groomers. Save your money and don't go here. Other groomers charge $250-300 for hand stripping and their prices don't go up every 6 months. I think most of your customers would agree with me. Not sure who you are, Alec, but Kim (owner) called us earlier and to tell us that we were not welcome to her establishment anymore because after their prices went up, she offered us a $25 credit and instead of honoring the credit, she decided to "remove" us as a customer. Is this what you want to deal with when getting your PET'S HAIRCUT??? read more

What a transformation! The spring glow up for this lil rascal was worth it and groomer Marina was very kind to both pup and owner. Thank you! read more

So I've reviewed this place before and I just wanted to return a re-up my five star review since it's been more than 2 years since my last review and they're still the best in the biz. This place is the real deal. Real people, they do good work, and it really feels like part of the East village community. Go here! They never shame you if it's been a while and your dog has a few mattes, and they tell me my dogs always do a good job even though my dogs go crazy at the vet, the dog park and pretty much everywhere else. What else do you need? read more

When Han gives Lady Waggs an impeccable hand-cut for her birthday, red bows and all. Both mum and pup are smiling cheek to cheek! It's officially ten years, and Han is still our couture groomer with scissor skills. There's some special magic involved, or perhaps the blueberry facial she receives. Always accommodating, literally like clockwork I received a phone call once grooming was complete. Truly when I say I fly in, drive-in, or whatever - it is no joke. This is family & I appreciate the TLC my child receives. Thank you, Freddy, at reception for making our day, it was a pleasure, and you were not only accommodating, polite and all smiles - but just simply gracious. I adored hearing, "Lady Waggs mum is here to pick her up, " in a calm and reassuring voice. ***Please note, I require hand cutting via scissors due to Lady Waggs breed. Hand cutting is extra. *Toothbrushing is also offered à la carte, as well as many other services. read more

This is my first time bringing my pup to a professional groomers. I requested a quote on yelp and called for an appointment. The process was easy and professional. I briefly told Han, that I wanted a more teddy bear cut for my puppy, Katsu. I even provided a few photos that I looked up on Pinterest, and I am blown away with the results! He came out a totally different dog, I almost couldn't recognize him. I am very very happy with how everything went and will be returning again when katsu starts looking scruffy again. Thanks a lot Han! read more

I will start by saying that I will never be coming be back to this place for a grooming (or anything else). I came from the UES, because Unleashed Spa had very good reviews and for those reviews that we're not that favorable the owner seemed to be very responsive and caring for making her customers happy when something didn't go well. In my case there's no point in complaining with the job they did because it's not fixable. I can do nothing, but wait for the dog's hair to grow back out. The only reason this is not a 1 star review is because my puppy was not harmed in any way nor did she seem stressed when she came out. Also, this is totally a 1st world problem rant, but if I'm paying money I would like to be happy with the results. That said, she looks absolutely heinous. She's a rat with a fluffy head. There's a reason why I didn't get a Chinese Crested Dog ... I don't like hairless dogs. I thought I'd given pretty explicit instructions of wanting a puppy cut (which means leaving at least an inch of hair). I did make the mistake of saying summer cut and then did correct to puppy cut, but she came out with a really short summer cut. They even trimmed her beautiful eyelashes that I explicitly said not to touch. She had a few mats throughout, but I certainly don't think a full shave was needed. Certainly not a happy customer. read more

Please advise that my dog also had broken a nail on two separate occasions. I also had him groomed (bath & dry) between the full grooming I had at this so called spa. read more

Michelle did an amazing job with our puppy, Nellie. Nellie's hair was matted after she wore a surgical suit for two weeks. As I expected, Michelle told me that Nellie would have to be shaved to remove the mats. What I didn't expect was that Michelle would be able to make Nellie look amazingly cute, even with her body shaved. Michelle is talented and caring, and I look forward to working with her in the future. read more

No longer the same quality as before. They have become extremely careless with and unapologetic when it comes to animal safety. My dog was hurt twice during when they cut her nails and one time the shaving blade scraped her belly. The owner suggested I take my dog elsewhere after confronting her about the past incidents. Unfortunately their service has tanked. I will definitely take my baby elsewhere! read more

Got a call after leaving my review from the owner who was very upset that she never saw my messages or emails and wanted to offer me a refund.

This has been my go to dog spa for the past few years. My dog is a sweetheart but when it comes to grooming him it's extremely difficult for me. Somehow they gain his trust and he comes out looking brand new. I appreciate their hard work and know they put up with a lot. I can barely get one nail clipped myself and they manage to do all that and more. When he leaves there he smells good, no matting, his teeth are clean, no injuries or cuts and he's extremely soft. He gets compliments from strangers every time, they'll even yell from across the street "did he just get groomed?! Wow!" I love the way he looks fluffy but a good grooming is important for his health. I love my dog so much and I wouldn't leave him alone with anyone I didn't trust. Heck, I travel all the way from Brooklyn. I get my errands done and shop while he's getting groomed. I always bring water and his bowl so that we can unwind at Tompkins park for a bit which is only a few blocks away. It's a great neighborhood. read more

Nothing better than Unleashed Spa! My dog is an 8 years old poodle and I've been taking him here since he was a puppy! Then I moved to the UES a few years ago, out of convenience I tried a couple of dog groomers in my area and nothing in comparison to the grooming my dog gets at unleashed. Christine was excellent! I keep coming back, worth the trip! read more

We were so fortunate to get same-day appointments! We're new to the area and our pups hadn't been groomed in quite a while, so we were desperate. Our 6 year old boy is a lovebug, but we're always worried about our 2 year old girl, who has severe anxiety. Kim was so kind and spent quite a bit of time talking to us about our concerns and offered great suggestions for a local pet store. Not only did our furry babies come out looking impeccably groomed (and adorable!!!) but the groomers paid special attention to the areas we wanted addressed. Kim spent time with our anxious girl and was able to connect with her and keep her relaxed - a miracle!! We couldn't be happier and we have definitely found our permanent grooming spot! read more

So, I took my 7 month old lhas Apso to Unleashed for the 1st time this past Thursday. we had an 11:00 appt and she was taken by Kase on time. I gave him a picture of how she looked from a groomer I took her to in Florida twice. I didn't get my pup until 5 hours later. I was lucky to be able to sit in the Salon where I get my haircuts. Throughout these hours Kim came out to apologize again and agAin. Yes, I was patient! However , This was unacceptable. A normal grooming should not have taken more than 2-2 1/2 hours. Kim also mentioned that Kase had not groomed for over a year after she was already in for two 1 1/2 hours amd had to "get back into the swing if things" Now, I was worried. Kim promised me I would be satisfied. Fast forward to 4:30 Kase and Kim brought my pup out. She was so excited to get out of there. Needless to say, she had two cuts on her face. Being disabled, I was so exhausted, I couldn't really inspect her haircut or the cuts. I couldn't wait to get her home. When I did get her home she was a total mess. Her cut was completely uneven. I did pay, against my better judgement. And, although I thought I had a full grooming package kim said she was taking off and not charging for teeth cleaning. I still paid the $108.00 and, not realizing how horrible my pup's haircut was I gave kase a very nice tip. My tip should have been - get out of the business. Well this was the first and the last time here. My pup was so stressed out when we got home she didn't move and urinated on herself. I put bacitracin on her cuts. . I am dusgusted. Never again, and the money I paid was pure abuse. Now, I have to take her to another groomer to fix her up. Add: In response to your answer. I am not being dishonest at all. Kim specifically told me kais cut the dog twice on her face. If that is being denied then you are outright lying. I NEVEr cut any hair off her face whatsoever. After Kim told me she received two cuts by Kais, I even asked kim if she was bleeding profusely and she said no. So to say I did it ,is an out right lie. They were fresh cuts. I did not groom my dog myself. I clearly said she had some sap on her legs and I cut a bit of hair off her feet which I showed Kais. Never on her face. As a business owner if you knew kais was "out of shape" then you never should have allowed him to practice on my pup. I am not in the habit if writing bad reviews but after this experience I felt it was due. I even asked kim to let someone else finish after she told me about the cuts and the time it was taking, but she told me they were all booked up and even had to cancel Kais' other appointments. I was Not angry I had to sit either but I was upset it took a long time, and, regardless, I paid for the service. I refuse to waste my time going back and forth. read more

the kindest groomer I know. Incredibly gentle and professional with my pup, there is no better in the downtown area.

This business has been in the neighborhood 17 years and had mostly great reviews on Yelp so I tried it today. I had my two senior dogs (ages 16 and 11 years) groomed. I was able to speak directly with the groomers who would work on my dogs, as well as the owner. I explained my dogs' ages and health conditions. They promised to stop the session if either dog exhibited any signs of stress. They did an excellent job, were courteous, friendly and professional. The grooming took 2 hours, NOT 4+ like at Petco Union Square, and price was comparable. They notified me when the dogs were almost ready. My dogs were relaxed and happy and looked very cute after being groomed here. Highly recommend Shannon and Christine. The reception guy Nathan is cordial and efficient. read more

We bring our mini-goldendoodle Walter to Shannon every month or two. And she's incredible! Walter comes out happy and looking great every time. On the few occasions I've walked by and looked through the window to see how our boy is doing, you can tell how patient and kind she is (and how chill our, ordinarily very excitable, pup is doing). Couldn't recommend her more! We've moved out of Manhattan but still bring Walter here because we couldn't imagine going anywhere else. Thanks Shannon! read more

I brought Peanut here for his first ever grooming experience with Han. We paid $87 including tax, not including tip, which seems so be about average (if not, below average) cost in the city. The place is unassuming and small, but our puppy came out looking like a million bucks. He smelled great as well! We asked for a teddy bear cut and showed Han a picture for reference. It took about 3 hours total. When we picked him up, he was wearing a little bandana -- so cute! read more
