Classic Clip at a glance

Classic Clip maintains a 4.9/5 rating from 67 Google reviews, with customers frequently citing reasonable pricing, friendly staff, and long-term loyalty spanning decades. Reviewers describe the business as having a down-home atmosphere where dogs receive careful attention during bathing, clipping, and nail services. One recurring criticism involves a specific instance of poor grooming quality, where a customer claimed the result was worse than a beginner’s work, though this isolated negative experience contrasts with the majority of positive feedback regarding the shop's consistent care and trustworthiness.

Very Very bad grooming my dog, worst ever. A beginner could have done better and it was worse than a beginner. I’m ashamed to even take my dog for a walk it’s that bad. Who ever did this should be fired, has “NO” knowledge of how to groom animals. I mean this is really really bad. Sixteen years and NEVER nothing like they did to my Cockapoo

My family have brought our dogs here for generations! Anita and her team are amazing. The pricing is perfect. From chows to terriers- grooming has been spot on and none of our dogs were ever stereotyped as aggressive due to breed. My dogs run to her front door. :)
