Shear Delite

I’m very satisfied with my kittys grooming! They did a good job considering he didn’t like getting a hair cut. There was a few flaws but way better then the place I took him last time he was all chopped up and uneven. I would definitely recommend this place! They were very sweet and the price wasn’t too bad!

I have been bringing my Persian cats here for several years. It is not easy to find a skilled groomer who does a good job on cats. Let me tell you… if you are looking for a groomer for your cats in San Diego, this is the place to go! Don’t look anywhere else.
Lelani is so wonderful, a huge cat lover like myself. She not only does a great job, she is very knowledgeable and is happy to share her expertise and useful tips about cat maintenance. She is easy to reach and really fun to talk to. I highly recommend this place!

I had such a good experience today at Shear Delite who groomed my little kitten, Mayhem. It was easy to book an appointment, and they have parking in Mission Hills. My anxiety was relieved when I met Leilani who definitely knows her cats. I expressed my concerns, and she listened. The whole grooming procedure took 2 hours, which was faster than I expected. The charge was very reasonable, so I will definitely be returning. They have services defined for just what you need.

Charlie Bear never had his hair cut and shear delite did an amazing job with him. They said he was great until he had to go back in the cage, but that makes sense since he was abandoned as a baby and in the shelter. I’m definitely taking him back and will be scheduling my dog too :) The only reason I would give them less stars would be bc the lady who greeted me was short and brash, but whatever.

I will never take my kittie anywhere else! I just had the best experience at Shear Delite. Unfortunately, my cat, Meow, ended up with fleas & Leilani took excellent care of him! When I called to see if they did flea baths, Leilani was nothing but helpful. She even suggested that I could buy Borax (usually found at Walmart) and rid the infestation myself but due to time restraints, I went with a pest control company. When I dropped him off, I asked if she could clip his nails & she said it was already included! BONUS! I asked if she could keep him for the day while my apartment was being bombed & it was no problem! She even stayed 45 minutes late to watch him for me. SO sweet of her! That was way more than I could have asked for! When I picked him up, he looked so pretty! Clean, nail clips, & fleas gone. She even tied a cute bow around his neck. AW! My kittie seemed very relaxed & didn’t even cry on the way home. Before I left she gave me tons of advice & offered to help in any way she could if he has any problems in the future. I am beyond pleased with my experience at Shear Delite! Thank you Leilani & fam!

Wonderful!
I was super nervous bringing my little kitty in for his first cut, but the ladies were REALLY really great at comforting my nerves. They both are very knowledgable and sweet with fur babies and people alike. They were quick and left me with some great words of wisdom. Plus kitty came out looking adorable and smelling great

My first time getting my little Persian boy, Meppo the lion cut and I am so glad I went here. The cat lady was honest, sincere and very knowledgable. She even showed me her three cats, all got the lioncuts.
Definitely a great experience. Fast scheduling too. Called in last night and got in today.

Hands down the best place for dog grooming in San Diego. We bring our two dogs from 45mins away because they do such a great job.

I have tried a few been coming here for years! Leilani is soo good with my dogs. I have a crazy Doxiepin (dachsund/​mini pinscher), Charlie who jumps all over the place and constantly wants to kiss you. My other dog, Roxy snaps and will bite when you clip her nails. Leilani just knows how to handle her. Leilani is the first person to ever groom her and did such a great job. I will never go to another groomer. This is the place to go when you need your babies need a spa day.

This place is by far THE best place I’ve taken my boys too. I cannot even express how happy I found them. My 15 yr old Terrier hates getting his nails cut I was told. Every time I brought him to a groomer they either ask me to take him somewhere else to get them cut or cut them but barely BUT NOW… he is as quite as a cat. His nails don’t touch the floor and I’m sure it is way better on his poor little paws too. They just know their stuff! I will recommend this place all day every day!

I love this place! I have been bringing my new kitty here monthly to get his claws clipped since he will not let me do it. The price cannot be beat. No appointment is needed and I never have to wait more than a few minutes. The owner is super nice too.

Big fan of Lallani. I’ve been bringing both of my dogs here for a couple of years now and she always does a great job. She’s very easy to schedule with as well.

On recommendation from a friend, I finally took my dog, Charlie, to Shear Delite. The location is super cute and very convenient to my house. We desperately needed my dogs nailed clipped; Shear Delite did his nails and anal glands for only $ 8 bucks! What a deal!
We showed up at 9 a.m. on the dot (which I arranged via phone the day before) and my dog was done by 9:05 a.m. She took him right away and was done in five mins! The speed and price of this place is unbeatable! Highly recommend!

They have always done such a great job with my pup. I’m taking my pomeranian in this weekend for the full treatment including a nail trim. I typically leave my dogs hair long and beautiful and they know how to groom a pomeranian just the right way.

This was our first visit to shear delite and we will definitely be coming back!
My boyfriend took our Maltese/​Yorkie mix puppy in for his first grooming today. Leilani had a thorough consultation with my boyfriend about how we wanted our dogs hair cut. She was kind, understanding and really took her time.
I came home from work to find our adorable pup perfectly groomed and happy! Literally, head to toe.. . everything was taken care of! The price was extremely reasonable and we will absolutely be back! Thank you shear delite!

Leilani is the cat whisperer!!! Everyone knows most cats can be very fussy when being groomed! Especially my poor kitty with her dreadlocks issue! but Leilani and staff have never seemed to have any bad incidents with kitty. She always comes out looking and smelling amazing! I definitely recommend this spot to anyone with a fluffy cat!

I dropped in with my dog to get her nails clipped.
Shear Delite only charges $ 5 to clip nails! BEST prices around! (My vet charges $ 20 to clip nails.) And if your dog needs sac expression, it’s only an extra $ 3 more!

! — $ 8 for nails AND sac expression — !
1) There was zero wait, they clipped her nails and did the sac expression with lightning speed! :) I was in and out in no time. They were really sweet to my dog, too. :)
2) Staff and owner were SO nice, welcoming, and informative! They definitely knew what they were talking about and obviously were very experienced. I didn’t know much about the sac expression, and they took the time to explain everything. The owner was very friendly and down-​to-​earth. She’s a what-​you-​see-​is-​what-​you-​get, genuine person, which is so refreshing.
3) I also love that they didn’t upsell or rip me off like vets do. They had my dog’s best interests at heart and were very honest as to how often my dog should get sac expression. When I brought my dog in to get the sac expression done a few months later, they couldn’t extract anything because my dog’s glands were clear, so the owner told me it was FREE. I gave her some money, anyway, because I appreciated their taking the time to work on my dog.

I refer all my friends with dogs to this place. I like to support local, family-​owned small businesses like Shear Delite. Excellent prices and customer service!
110% recommended!!!

Today my Maxy-​Moo got a lion cut. It is equally comfortable for him and amusing for me. I love it. They also treated him for fleas which I was unaware he had, and clipped his nails. There are a few nicks that are too close to the skin, and the mane is a bit choppy, but my kitty is happy and flea-​free, so we are happy.
I do feel like a bit of an ass, I didn’t really know it was customary to tip a groomer, but the girl who gave me my change only gave me $ 20s, so I guess they were optimistic, or not trying to hint at it.

As always, they are the best!!!
UPDATE TO MY FIRST REVIEW — — –
I brought my cats back into Shear Delite for their final lion cuts before I move to Texas. Leilani and the rest of the staff are always so friendly and sweet. I really am going to miss not only san diego, but this fantastic Grooming facility for my persian cats.
My cats are extremely difficult to cut, have to be held down by three people AND tranquilized (with Ace pills from the vet). They always let me bring them early Saturday morning before the dogs start arriving. If you have difficult cats, this is the place for them. One of my cats sent a lady to the hospital when I lived in South Carolina, and I was very up front about that when I first started bringing them 2 years ago. After the first few grooms, Leilani suggested going to the vet and getting some pills to sedate. Which made them calmer and better for everyone!
I told them about a dew claw on one of my cats’ foot that had grown circular into the pad, and they said no problem. It had not started growing into the skin yet, thank God! Going to the vet would have been expensive.
These girls and guys that work here are just hardworking, genuinely nice people who deserve all the best customers in the world. Thanks guys! You will be missed!~

I don’t get the fascination with this place. I’ve taken my one year old Pomeranian here twice, and both times have been sorely disappointed. The cut overall was uneven and jagged, you could literally see where they had taken the scissors because there are straight, blunt lines in her coat. They didn’t blend AT ALL. They told my bf who picked her up that it was because she wouldn’t stop wiggling. Well, yah, she’s a puppy who has never been groomed before. You’re professionals who are charging me full price, handle it. Dont just say «oh well, not my problem». This time she charged me more than $ 50 for something I’m going to have to try and fix myself.
The other thing is that my dog is friendly and outgoing with everyone, and she is terrified of this place. Absolutely did not want to be dropped off when we tried to give them one more try. My BF had a bad feeling when he walked into this place because it wasn’t clean, but we tried it because of the Unilocal reviews. This time, Unilocal,you’ve failed me.
