Jimminy Clippers

We’ve been using jimminy clippers for about 15 years or more and always remain more than satisfied with their services friendliness and the fact that the dogs really do like the Clippers.
One time we brought our little dog to Petco and they were so hard on him they actually cut his puppy unit. Do your pet and yourself a favor and use jimminy Clippers all the time

They are super nice. Prices are reasonable. Friendly. Accommodating. We’ll def take our puppy back there!!!

*****The five star treatment*****
Cathy is a gem and Jimminy Clippers is hands down, the best dog salon in town!
My husband and I were in need of a place that was well educated and trustworthy. Kathy’s 20 years of experience set my mind at ease, as well as, the customers coming and going, appeared to be more than pleased. I decided this was the place for our new 5 month Pomeranian puppy to learn the ways of «being groomed».
I approached the desk for check in and the friendly receptionist had me out the door with my pick up time faster than you could blink (Even with it being a busy, busy Saturday morning).
Cute waiting room, quick drop off/​sign in, quick pick up, friendly & accommodating receptionist, great shampoo, great brushing, great cut and yummy scent! Our pup smelled delish long after it was all said and done.
Thank you and definitely won’t see the last of us :)

The people are friendly and took my Dusty in at short notice. The lady who took care of him really took good care of him. He was so clean and smelled great after his spa treatment. I would bring him back here. I was so thankful to all of them for taking him in at very short notice. I’m sure you have to have an appointment and it was a fluke and just a blessing. But they really did great with his hair cut and grooming.

Really cute place to bring your pooch for grooming. I came here because this place has very, very very good reviews, even in the not recommended section reviews were good. However lady seemed rushy with me and kept talking over me when I asked her questions since it was my first time there, she wasn’t personable. Not a good first impression at all. All around, quick in and out my dog came out with a cute ruffle on her collar for Easter and a big smile on her face after a nail trim. will be back again!

This place is amazing! My dog never wants to leave when I come back to pick him up, so you know they treat your pets well! They are very reasonably priced as well. The groomer gave him a free pawdicure so that his nails don’t scratch my hardwood floors! Best groomer in the area.

Brought our puppy in for grooming on Saturday. The place is small, but it has pink neon in the window making it difficult to miss.
The staff was friendly and helpful in answering all of our questions. Even better, the 1^st puppy bath and face trim was free. They did a great job, and our puppy is still fluffy and clean.
We plan on taking her back when it is time for a haircut.

They are the best groomers in town. I have taken my puppy here since he was born. They care about my dog and know the perfect style to make him cute.
The interior is very good and clean.
My puppy have loved here!!!

I thought long and hard before writing this review… Because although I was unhappy I don’t want to be all angry and say something unfair. Honestly I cannot recommend Jimminy Clippers. The owner as well as the people working for her are simply not gentle and kind enough with dogs. My toy poodle is my baby and I know him well. He would start shaking as I was getting ready to hand him over. Though they reassured me it was similar to the easily overcome anxiety of kids knowing their parents are going out, it didn’t feel right to me. The last time my dog was there (which was like his fourth time there) I got there a little early and was able to observe, and the girl cutting his hair was having a conversation with another groomer while working, and not paying close attention to my dog. I know they have a little collar around the dogs’ necks to keep them steady but there is no need to really tug it to get them to move. I literally told the owner to get my dog off the table because I did not like what I was seeing. And int doesn’t help that the owner has been rude on the phone several times… yes being busy can be stressful but I just feel she has a harsh personality. It’s unfortunate because their rates are good and the first groomer we had there was very nice. But she quit and they seem to have a revolving door of employees. I don’t like being negative, but I am concerned enough to say something,

I tried taking my dog here to get groomed a couple of weeks ago. When I walked in the two employees just stared at me. No greeting at all. When I asked about a fundraiser they were having, all I got in response was «I think they are done.» No «sorry but you just missed it.» As I had seen them outside less than an hour prior. No information on what their regular prices are. Just very poor customer service. Its as if they couldn’t wait to get back to their conversation. I value good customer service, I didn’t get it here. I’ll look for somewhere else to get my dog groomed.

This is the best groomer I have ever been to! They are reasonably priced and take care of your pets the way they’d take care of their own.

I recently took my cavalier to get groomed. He needed a good grooming. I had been to Jimminy Clippers before but used one of the groomers who is no longer there. Nicole stepped in to groom my boy and she had to put up with my crazy instructions. I mentioned his teeth were bad and he can’t have dentals due to a heart condition, she offered to use a dental gel which removes the plaque. I was skeptical but she said it works so I thought why not try it. Well it worked, my dog looked fantastic andNicole even called the following Monday to see if I liked the grooming. I am beyond happy and thought Nicole was awesome and professional and my customer experience was fantastic. I tend to groom my dog myself a lot but on the occasions when I don’t want to do it myself I will not hesitate to call Nicole at Jimminy Clippers!

This place does such an amazing lion cut on my long-​haired cat. Always friendly and professional. I will not take my business anywhere else! Loyal customer since 2011. Highly recommend.

Hands down the best groomers in the northwest suburbs! Such attention to detail and great care for our pets. This is literally the only groomer that I will trust!

I just picked up my puppy from Jimmeny Clippers. Tracey did an awesome job grooming our cockapoo, Duncan. Unlike another groomer we visited, his cut is even and his fur is nice and soft… he smells pretty great too! Thank you, Tracey!

I took my dogs here only one time. Unfortunately, I was living in Palatine only a short time. Actually its funny we were there only once and my dog is the cute malteese in the pics. I didnt even know! Anyway…
I am very picky with my pups and I was very satisfied with the service.
It cost double what I was used to paying in McHenry county. But Cook County taxes are to blame for that!
I would highly recommend this place.
If you want your pet treated like a family member and the most friendly service anywhere. .you need look no further.

I took my Archy here for his very first grooming experience, and I must say, I was very happy with everything! Archy felt so soft, his haircut was perfect, and he didn’t seem scared! Cathy took such great care of him, and made him feel comfortable. I love the way my little man looks! I can’t stop hugging him! Archy will be back again soon!

OH HOW WE MISS THIS PLACE! We moved out of state to Florida and let me tell you, we have not found a groomer than can even come close to this place.
We have a Shar-​pei and while he is the most gentile docile dog you will ever meet most groomers are intimidated but not here. They treated him as if he was a part of their family. They would do an outstanding job bathing him and when we would pick him up we knew he had a good time.
The staff is friendly always smiling whether it is early in the morning or at the end of a long day at work.
Please open up a location in Clearwater, FL!
Keep up the great work

It is no wonder that this business has been here for so many years! The quality of the groom and customer service is outstanding!
I first brought my Pomeranian, Gibson, to Jimminy Clippers and Cathy, the owner, took great care of him. She even made a follow up call to make sure I was truly satisfied and wanted honest feedback. We spoke about what she can do to fix his fur around his neck. She was very informative about Gibson’s hair growth. She wrote everything down and put it in Gibson’s file so they know exactly how I want his future cuts to look.
When I got River, an Australian Shepherd, I took her to Jimminy Clippers for her first puppy bath. Although Cathy did not do the bath, one of their groomers, Audrey provided the same quality service and knowledge.
This business truly cares for dogs and their passion emulates in their work. I will not take any of my dogs anywhere else.

Kathy takes such pride in her business; she is gentle and caring and always tries to make the animals and their owners feel at ease. Our Sophia (a.k.a. Mushface) may not love to be groomed, but she loves the results! Kathy and her staff are not only good at grooming, they know their stuff! They educate their clients in how to better take care of their pets… I say clients becauae once you come here once, you will never go anywhere else!
