she was dishonest about pricing but it was already done so we paid. Talk to us like we were incompetent when trying to explain what we wanted have done on our dog. Right off the bat she was aggressive and condescending. Highly over priced as well. Won’t be returning due to customer service, you shouldn’t talk to anyone that way.

  • Price assessment: Overpriced
Response from the owner · a month ago

Hi Morgan, I can understand how you might think the pricing was not disclosed when you were not present for the initial check in. That information was discussed in detail with the gentleman that dropped Rooster off. Before I ever took Rooster in you were informed that your dog was booked online incorrectly as a 30 pound dog. Rooster is in fact almost 70 pounds and the price difference as well as the time estimate was discussed at the initial drop off, I was strait forward with the price starting point for Roosters size as welI as the additional time needed to accommodate a larger dog and was given the go ahead by the gentleman that dropped off. During the discussion about what haircut was desired at check in I was told "summer cut" which means different things to different people , and we talked about length, the gentleman was not sure about any of the information about the cut. You returned after check in to talk about the haircut and we talked about length and head style more in depth based off a picture you showed me. I asked a lot of questions as anyone would to ensure we did the right cut, if being direct and asking a lot of questions made you feel a certain way I apologize, at no time was the intention to talk down to you while trying to make sure I had what you wanted correct. I feel there is a large misunderstanding in this situation that happened in 2 parts and not everyone received all of the information that was presented from the beginning. Feel free to contact Jamie, the manager, in regards to your appointment and your experience at the shop, I'm happy to talk more in depth about your experience.

I have been using Jamie at Pretty Paws Dog Groomer about four years ago. She has never failed to do such a fantastic job and my dog loves to visit her. If I can give her 10 stars instead of five I would.

Response from the owner · a month ago

Joseph, your continued trust over the past four years means a great deal. Knowing your dog enjoys each visit and that Jamie’s grooming has remained consistently strong is sincerely appreciated.
