Suds ‘N Scissors Inc

This place is hands down amazing. My husband and I moved in from out of town and had no idea what we were in for in terms of the landscape and problems it’s weeds would cause on our pets fur. We have two German shepherds, one of which is long haired. Within two days of our move in date and letting her stay in the backyard during the day she was COVERED with burs, foxtails and sap from the pine trees. We had just moved from the dry desert and had never experienced this with our dogs. Our poor baby was such a mess that she even managed to get burs in her vulva which the staff removed! They were WONDERFUL to our poor baby. Todd was amazing, he took his time to explain why it was not wise for us to shave her down as it would ruin her coat and treated her so well. He also discovered a 1 inch gash on her side that we managed to overlook somehow with all of her fur and the huge mess of weeds that had embedded itself in her fur. He cleaned it out and shaved the hair around it. We were so thankful that they took such great care of her. She looked like a whole new dog, smelled great and was incredibly soft. He even went the extra mile to ask us to call and update him on the gash she had. We took her to the vet where she later received staples and an antibiotic shot. Overall, I could not be more pleased with a groomer. The best I’ve ever had. Customer service was fantastic and they also offer military discount. Highly recommend them and will be going again.

My Golden and I both love this place! Not only do they do a great job, they are so friendly and helpful!

Love these guys, and so do my girls! They make appointments easily. When I bring in Dolly and Cocoa Bean they always feel like they are old friends. I don’t even have to put them on a leash when I take them in because they just head for the door. They do a great job, and am staying loyal!

I just made my second appointment for my yorkie, Max. Again they said they could get me in tomorrow but I had to schedule about two weeks out because of my work hours.
The first appointment was fabulous. When we picked him up he was happy and sitting still, not in his nature to sit still for anything. I don’t know what magic they used but it has made a huge difference in his demeanor at home as well. He didn’t want to be brushed at all before but now he will at least tolerate it.
This business deserves higher than 5 stars and I would give them if I could.

Always a great groom for our Rose Talbott. Lovely atmosphere and the dogs seem to enjoy it too! I love the fact I can take my little Affenpinscher at extremely short notice! Staff are wonderful, kind and caring. Highly recommended by us!

Thank you for my Lion Peke she looks wonderful.
That is when I realized you could probably do my older kitty Binks.
He came home not only beautiful as Burmese are but he looked as if he felt 5 years younger
Thank you so much, what a joy

Not worth the price. After saying they would cut my Yorkie exactly as I asked, I said leave her hair 1 inch long. Well when I went to pick her up it was too long. It didn’t look like she even cut the hair on her hind end or rear legs– still at least 3 inch long hair. When I told the blond lady Z’s hair was to long she told me my groomer had already gone home as Zoey was her last cut. Really? She took her back and trimmed a bit more off her tummy but that was it. She didn’t say someone else could finish it up, she didn’t ask me to come back next day. Nothing. I was shut down. I drove over from PG for this treatment. At least they didn’t hurt my dog

OMG… Christmas scarves today!!! Such a busy day… long line at the door fifteen minutes before opening, and yet our pack was ready early as we requested. And, did I mention how soft they are?! Ready for the whole family to cuddle at xmas.
Thanks Todd and staff!!!

I’ve been taking my 7 year old Pomeranian here since he was a baby. Todd and the staff at Suds ‘N Scissors always do an excellent job. Cash comes out looking like a million bucks every single time. When doing the regular bath and trim they make his coat so fluffy and beautiful and it lasts for weeks (as long as I don’t let him run a ruckus) its unbelievable. I also do the «puppy cut» and even once tried the lion cut in the summer months as he tends to attract stickers and they do a really precise job, I wouldn’t trust anyone else but Todd with those close cuts. I have always been able to get a quick appointment sometimes last minute which works great for me as I don’t always know when he will need to go to the groomer. I also love that all clean dogs get a bandana or a bow on their collar-​really nice touch. I highly recommend taking your dog here for their grooming needs!

Hands down the best grooming our poodle mix has ever had! We live up in SF but will make sure our four trips a year to Carmel include a styling here! Plus they were so gentle and nice! Four paws up!

By far the best hair cut I have for my Mini Schnauzer! Staff was friendly when I dropped her off. One HUGE complaint… shop closes at 5pm, and I was called at 4:40 pm to pick up my dog. I was never advised there would be an additional 20 dollar charge for late pick ups. I arrived at 5:10 due to unruly everyday traffic in Carmel. The store manager was very rude about the situation. There were four other dogs in my view who needed pick up as well. Not happy about this at all.

Always a great job done on our 5 Pugs! Have been going to S N S for many years!
Todd has a great and friendly staff, we always feel welcome and confident our Pugs are in safe hands!

Very happy with the staff and quality of the grooming at Suds and Scissors. They are professional and knowledgable and I feel very comfortable leaving my two poodle mix pups with them. Their prices are about the same as other groomers in the area. They have many years of experience which is very important. The salon is clean and organized. Highly recommend Suds and Scissors and I am very picky when it comes to my dogs!

Best groomers on the Peninsula. First time our fur child «Daisy» has been groomed here. I was able to get her in two days after making the appointment.
The employees were very nice and very professional. I will definitely recommend them. Daisy looks beautiful. Thank you Suds & Scissors.

Suds N Scissors is just great. Every time we visit the area, we bring our dogs there and the job the staff does is wonderful. The staff is hard working… this place is popular… but they are always attentive, personal and prompt.
We have always had a great experience there and we will be back!
Thanks from Steve and Pat and Tweed and Kai (our Border Collies)!

Amazing job with a temperamental dog! Thank you for the great cut you did with Ralphie!!! We love the way it turned out!

They are very very professional! You can see their great work when you see your dog after the service. You can very well see that they put a lot of effort and caring in making your dog and the parents happy. When I brought my dog for the grooming, I was very hesitant because he was previously traumatized when his grooming was done at Petsmart before. He started to growl whenever somebody will touch his ears or nails. I told them about my dogs behavior as a result of trauma. They gladly listen and tried to do their best, keeping all of those in mind. I was very very surprised when I saw my dog, he was happy and very handsome. Although they said they had a hard time trying to cut his nails, they still continue and gave him a perfect haircut! I will come back again! Great service, worth every penny! Todd is very professional and a nice person to deal with. Keep it up guys!

Very unprofessional. We booked an appointment for our dog to get fully groomed a few months in advance as we were planning to visit Carmel. The lady at the front desk said the groomer is there every other Saturday. Our appointment was at 10:00 am. We called at 9:30 am just to let them know we were on our way and to confirm. The lady at the front desk said in a jolly voice that the groomer had concert tickets and decided not to go into work today! We did not even get a phone call or an advanced notice! Trying to find a groomer on a Saturday in Carmel is not easy at all! This place is very rude and unprofessional!

Walked into the place walked up to the counter.
Four people standing there didn’t ask if I needed help or didn’t say be with you in a second.
So I walked out the door as I was doing that I said in a loud voice «thank you for your help».
Won’t be going there ever again !!!

My husband and I would like to know what on earth did you do to my dog to help make his coat look and feel ever fluffy!!! Even 2 weeks out!
My dog pepper is so cute! Your groomer made him look like a puppy and even his eyes are looking younger! I have a 12 yr old black toy poodle, and I am so happy we were able to drop him off for a same day appointment (it was a long shot), very grateful for the fabulous job you guys did!
Also the colorful bandana around the collar is awesome! He scares less people in the dark :-) jk, it is awesome though and good quality, thanks!
I had pepper groomed only a few weeks before this visit, but we had traveled through the mountains, got married, stopped in sf before Carmel, and he needed some spa time– you guys deserve this rave because even his little paws are groomed subtly and daintily, which I can tell even he loves! His little cotton tail is so perfectly round! Also I notice his nails were groomed and filed above where they were clipped for a smooth nail surface and it’s that kind of detail I just can’t tell you how much I appreciate!
Apparently you guys are doing it all right, jut wanted to drop by you page and give you the well deserved excellent review!
I would highly recommend this groomer. And will certainly be back the next time I am in Carmel!
