Barkin’ Beauties

My dog was in need of a nail trim so I called this place to ask the price and was told it would be 8 $ dollars just for the trim. So I went ahead and took my dog here, and let me tell you WORST decision ever! Not only was the service rude but they ended up charging me 20 $ dollars! and they didn’t even cut all her nails! My dog gets really nervous when getting her nails trimmed that was the reason I decided to bring her here thinking that they would make the experience better. Well was I wrong. Make yourself a favor and go somewhere else.

I can’t say that much about this place. The place smells like dogs. it’s smelly! The service is good, and they take care of dogs well. The dogs turn out clean and cute as always. They do cute styles with the dogs. When my dog comes back from the bath, there is some accessories on the dog. If a holiday is coming up, the place does accessories of that holiday on the dog. Cute, friendly, and okay store!

My dog is super difficult when it comes to getting a hair cut, but these ladys get the job done. Considering she is a shih tzu –she requires a lot of maintenance and other groomers would stress her out way to much. Overall I love this place.

Would like to reiterate that we continue to take our two shih tzus to Barkin’ Beauties and are really happy with their services. We’ve been coming here for two and a half years and everyone has always been extremely friendly and our dogs have always come out looking super cute. Thanks, Barkin’ Beauties!

In and out in under 2 hours.
The dog gets a sweet Mohawk.
$ 50 includes permanent pink hair dye,
Dog was not nervous, was cleaned well, was taken care of. I’ll update my review with her St. Patricks Day Look.

I went to Barkin Beauties recently and was not impressed at all. I took my tiny 9lb dog to the shop to get groomed. The staff seemed really excited and patient with me when i first got there. 2 ½ hrs later, I picked up my tiny dog and was told that the haircut was $ 50. I commented that that was a little costly and was informed that prices start at $ 45 but «because of his temperament» I was charged extra. So I just have to take their word that my dog was difficult to groom? (I didn’t stay to watch) and that I incurred an extra charge. Seems a little weird to me.
Barkin Beauties website prides itself that they are not overbooked so as not to rush with the dogs so even if my dog was a litttle difficult — I don’t know where the extra charge applies…
The haircut itself was just okay. He didn’t look anything like the way I mentioned during my initial arrival. I didn’t say anything at the time b/​c it was my first time there and I didn’t want anyone thinking I was shopping around for a discount.
I will not be using Barkin Beauties again. The work was mediocre at best and the price was boutique price without the quality. SORRY :(

Super clean super friendly staff! They did an amazing job on my Shih Tzu. Will go back!!!

I LOVE them! Eventhough my dogs hair cuts are more expensive then my own, it’s totally worth it. They do a better job then when we took our dogs to a high end salon downtown. They’re so nice to us and our dogs and are a true community business that cares about their clients like they’re neighboors!

I’m was new to the neighborhood 2 years ago and took my pooch here for the first time. She (Dog) was terrified but the woman behind the counter made her feel comfortable and calm. 2 hours later I picked her back up and she was clean, nailed done and with a red bandanna tied around her neck. She looked like a pampered dog! She’s been there three times since and will probably go this week as well. Pricing is good, very reasonable and over all good service.

Second time there and I was a little disappointed this time.
My dog was still shedding a lot after we got him home (he was supposed to get the furminator). They also did not do as good of a job at trimming him and overall he just wasn’t as clean.
Not sure if I’ll be back. I may just try to give him a bath myself.

These people are wonderful. My dog was terrified when we walked in the door and they took their time with her to make her comfortable. One of the groomers sat on the floor with her to calm her down and the manager came out from behind the counter, too. I was very impressed with the care they showed toward my most delicate family member.
Additionally, the shop is clean and inviting, the prices are reasonable, and they did a fantastic job with my dog. I’m glad I found this great independent store in the area. I’ll be back.

My first time was this past Saturday with my Rottweiler, Piper… what a great place! The girl up front at the counter was very helpful and sweet. Three different employees came out to greet Piper and pat her on the head. The grooming took about 2 hours, not bad at all. Piper was happy-​go-​lucky when she came out, not frazzled or stressed at all, like I have seen her when we picked her up at other places. They got her nails trimmed nicely, which is hard to do, she hates it. :) The total cost ended up being cheaper than I thought, so we picked up some doggie bakery stuff that they had in a case on the counter. Piper was in heaven when we got home!
She smells so good and looks adorable in her little pink bandana… good job Barkin’ Beauties, we’ll be back for sure!!!

Lots of TLC for the dogs here; they really go the extra mile and take their time! The grooming is more thorough and seems to last a little longer when we come here. Mad extra sharp scissor skills, and the double shampoo is a nice touch! And the main thing: the dogs are happy.

I was so impressed with this pet salon that I signed up for Unilocal to rate them. Usually, I bring my Golden Retriever Benny to other salons, and I am used to having him there from the morning until the evening, and when I pick him up, I pay around $ 80 for the Furminator. I decided to try out Barkin Beauties today, and he was done in about 2.5 hours, and it only cost about $ 50! On top of everything else, This is the best trim I’ve ever seen on my dog, and the staff was very friendly. I will definitely return!

I took my black lab here for a bath, ears and nail trim and it was great to walk into such a clean, charming place. The staff was so friendly, and you can see them working on the pooches. No backdoor barber here, all out in the open. I believe it was 35 for the bath. The girls used a black shampoo on her coat to keep it shiny and rich, she looked great and came home with the cutest Easter bandana. I use it when we take her to the dog beach so I can tell her apart from the other million black labs! Quick too, in and out in a few hours. Best groomer I’ve found on the SW side so far!

I took my dog to get goomed there & my 2 cats for nail trimmings & coudnt be happier! The girl who trimmed my cats nails was so good & fast (I wish I could do it myself, but they bite & scratch me!) I got my dog (small dog, 6.5 pounds) groomed… I had a few errands to run & they were nice enough to let me leave my cats there until my dog was finished with his grooming. I like that I was able to see them grooming my dog, and that there was no ”back room grooming” The staff was nice, you can totally tell they LOVE animals. I was satisfied with the service here & plan to be back soon! I’m hoping they will eventualy start carrying dog food, probably in time since they are still new. Thank you Barkin Beauties :)

I reviewed Barkin Beauties the other day and since then have received 2 nasty emails calling me names. All because I was unsatisfied with a service, I thought thats what this site was all about… reviewing…good or bad.
One was from someone that worked there and The latest one is obviously from the owner since the name on the message was KAREN… and if you look on their website the owners name is KAREN. Then if you go to her site she accuses me of being some groomer that she fired. Well she couldnt be more wrong. If she does this to me just because I had something negative to say about how I was treated and the cut my dog received, I feel sorry for anyone who really gets on her bad side. I feel bad for all of those poor animals she will be taking care of in her shop!
And I noticed that some people have removed their reviews in the past few days… suspicious…must have been friends and family that rated them so high.

Believe alllll the goodness you’ve read about Barkin’ Beauties! It is a FANTASTIC place to take your pet groomed!
I’ve taken my mom’s 14-​year old, 50-​pound mixed Airedale here and the ladies are super friendly and extra gentle with her because of her age. When she came home she was nicely trimmed (no scissor /​trimmer marks!) and smelled fresh. I would like to skip the little bandanna they stick on her, but every dog gets one. The price is unbeatable! Only $ 40! That leaves plenty of tip room for the fantastic service!
They’ve even called to schedule followup appointments with her which is a nice plus.

First of all they do a wonderful job on their dogs-​I know this, NoT oNlY because my every own dog came out looking dapper with a shinning coat and fresh breath-​I know this because I’ve seen the other CUTE doggies! they conduct all their grooming behind the counter where the customers can see what’s going on. Friendly/​personal groomers, big, clean ADORABLY decorated facility… I look foward to my next trip here-I’ll be bringing my long haired CAT! hah thats right Cat YaY they’re feeline friendly too
For the reasonable price of $ 30.00 my big puppy was treated to a two-​shampoo bath, fluffed dry, trimmed nails, ear plucking, and trimmed sanitary area, then a spritz with cologne and a bandanna and or matching bows. But he’s a boy soo he got the bandanna :)
