Innovations In Grooming

While this isn’t the best grooming shop, it definitely isn’t the worst. My girls come out pretty great most of the time– they have unknotted and fixed many bits of matter hair, as well as done specific cuts I’ve asked for. The only things are perhaps that they cut nails unevenly, and I don’t think they do their anal glands every time. the shop itself could use a bit of an update and modernization in some ways. Gale and Heather are very nice too.

UPDATE ON JULY 2015: my dogs eyes got an infection here over a year ago and I just wanted to say that to this day she is still in and out of the vet and on antibiotics. I’m in tears. Shame on you people.

This place is the absolute worst grooming salon I’ve ever seen.
Let me start off by saying that I am a professional groomer that graduated from grooming school, so I am incredibly appalled at the work I’ve seen come out of this place.
I recently moved quite a ways away from my mother, whose two dogs I groomed biweekly. Since my move, my mother has been taking the dogs to this place.
Today, one week from the salon date, I visit the dogs to find that not only are their haircuts choppy and clearly done by inexperienced groomers, but their eyes have been burned by the clippers!!! Have these groomers not heard of changing blades, or even coolant?!
As if that weren’t bad enough, I am 100% positive that the groomer did not disinfect her blades between grooms because both dogs have developed infections on the raw skin around their eyes.
My Yorkie is also matted all over her legs. That is NOT the way a dog should look a week after a grooming salon visit.
I am both shocked and saddened by the condition of my pets and I see no reason why this amateur grooming salon should ever get business again.
I have no doubt in my mind that the groomers in this location are nothing but people with a job they were not formally trained to do. I will be giving them a visit on person tomorrow to give them a chance to explain why on earth my two pets look like they were groomed with chainsaws.
