Just picked my dog up who was not only there for a 3hours , she was scheduled for bath ,deshedding and trim. She only received the bath ! When waiting to hear back from them a groomer assured me she was ready and just needed to have her butt trimmed . When we picked her up she didn’t have anything trimmed , and the groomer told me because she was a junior stylist she couldn't trim her. I was still charged the full pricing of all 3 when she only bathe her something I could have done at home at my own doggy wash. Now my golden retriever is still hairy and has grinch feet

Just don't use this location. The staff in the shop itself are nice , friendly and helpful but the parking enforcement callconpany are gangsters. If you leave for one second even to use the nearby mail box they will boot you. And they are totally unreasonable.
