My senior German Shepherd Honey has been going here for about 18 months, for bath/dry and nail trims. I think my experience and Honeys have been excellent.Communication is great, space is clean and calm, the prices seem more than fair for the amount of labor involved.Honey is on the nervous side but when I pick her up she does not seem freaked out - she's clean, her nails are trimmed but not bleeding, etc. They mention she can't stand the entire time so they have to get creative at times but everybody seems copacetic with the situation.There's a bad review that mentions that they informed a customer they were taking care of another dog with fleas. To me, a place that really likes dogs and wants to help them would of course take a dog being menaced by fleas and help them. You never know if the owner is able to do the care themselves, some must rely on services like this. This to me is a good sign, not a bad sign.

My 6 month old mini schnauzer looks great!! He had lots of mats that they successfully got out and he seems very happy. Will definitely come back.

I took my dogs here for the 1st time back in oct/nov 2023 last year. Unfortunately i did not have a good experience soon after getting my dogs back from this place. My dogs have experienced skin infections with bug bites but could not find any bugs at all, itching, rashes and skin swelling since then. Im still dealing with it to this date.. its now Jan 2024... It has costed me too much time and money and heartache...i dont think the fault lies with the groomers or store as pet owners should be more considerate about bringing their dogs in for grooming if they have fleas or something. Otherwise its just blatantly Irresponsible selfish and inconsiderate pet owners that end up hurting others indirectly.And a suggestion for the grooming store is that the store has soooo much empty space in the back, the grooming area and holding area could be expanded a little more for space and safety between pets...In response to the owner's comment below: when i had come in, I heard the other groomer state that the current dog they had been washing in there was FULLL of FLEAS. So that is why i said what i said. You can deny all you like but i did Not hear wrong because i was right there by the door waiting with my dogs.

BudE hates anyone to touch his ? paws, forget about clipping his nails! Then he remembers places where he’s had his mani pedi and will not go in, but the groomers at SMW are phenomenal and quick!I barely walked to the front of the store and they were done!!!He came out again with a bounce in his step and I swear that he was smiling, strutting out of the grooming room. Then it was my turn at Polish a block away.

My pup Maple panics every time she gets a hair cut but the groomers at scissor me whiskers are always so sweet and calm with her. They hold her and give her plenty of pets to calm her down. When I pick her up her coat is super soft and the cut is perfect for her breed

Terrible customer service. Had been here many times but never again. They rescheduled my appointment from a weekday to a Saturday when they were busy. My dog has long hair and some mats but, on their recommendation, I started booking 2 month intervals. Dropped the pup off, no issues. Got a call after I got home. They “don’t have time” to deal. I paid these people $200 each time. Went downhill since Danielle left.

Besides scoring an 11 out of 10 for the outstanding full-service groom my dog received (and believe me, I have the highest standards..my husband says i am AAA, not type A!), I would like to share a little bit more about the service we received today, which really sets this place apart from any other.When I called in to schedule my appointment, I briefly shared with the receptionist that I was visiting from Manhattan Beach in southern Ca, as my 93 yr old father was currently in the hospital, and I expected to extend my already unexpected 3 week stay, another few more weeks! She graciously made room for me to bring my mini poodle in, on a Sunday nonetheless!Not only was I greeted by the receptionist, Kennedy (Louie's groomer), hand delivered Louie to me from her arms. The warmth and sensitivity in which she treated Louie was was only outdone by Kennedy's heartwarming thoughtfulness in presenting me with simply the most beautiful bouquet of flowers/flower arrangement, for my father. She wanted me to pass along her well wishes to my father in hopes for a most speedy recovery and to let him know that many others were thinking about him too! My dad cried when I conveyed the message to him.ABOVE AND BEYOND, in so many ways!!Thank you Kennedy, you are a sweetheart in spades

Coming on here to say a huge THANK YOU to the groomer Catherine!!! My pup does not like getting her nails trimmed (that's an understatement) but Catherine miraculously got her nails trimmed with relatively little fuss and also did it so quick. She totally minimized the stress of the experience. She was very courteous. Thank you Catherine! We'll definitely be coming back here. P.S. there's also a ton of cute dog outerwear in the store :)

I used to have positive experiences with this groomer in the past, but my recent visit was incredibly disappointing. The quality of service has significantly declined. My pet's hair cut was uneven and messy, with noticeable spots left untrimmed. It's clear that attention to detail was lacking, and I'm quite disappointed with the outcome. Additionally, the groomer has made the experience very inconvenient by requiring me to come back another day if I want dematting services. This change has made the whole process much less user-friendly. Given the drop in quality and the inconvenience, I've made the decision that I won't be using this groomer anymore. I hope they can take this feedback to heart and work towards improving their services.

Wonderful place to come always. Such a lovely staff and my dog feels comfortable whenever here. I highly recommend this great neighborhood doggie spot.

I used to go to the outer Richmond location which closed recently so trying this location. They did a nice job on my pup. It’s a bit pricey but beauty isn’t cheap! Dawnielle and her team are very nice.

I recently brought my dog to Scissor Me Whiskers to have her glands expressed, and I must say I had a disappointing experience. I specifically chose this place because it was convenient and had decent reviews, but unfortunately, my visit left me feeling frustrated and dissatisfied.Upon arrival, I explained to the staff that I wanted my dog's glands to be expressed. They assured me that they would take care of it, so I trusted their expertise. However, after a mere two minutes, my dog was brought out, and I asked if her glands were completely emptied. The groomer confidently assured me that they were indeed fully expressed.The next day, I ended up taking my dog to the vet for an unrelated matter. During the examination, the vet informed me that my dog's glands were extremely full. I was taken aback and mentioned that I had just had them expressed at Scissor Me Whiskers the day before. The vet then asked me to feel the glands for myself, and it was evident that they were still full. I couldn't help but feel frustrated and regret not checking the work done at Scissor Me Whiskers earlier.I decided to contact the store for a refund since their service did not meet my expectations. However, it took them several days to respond after they consulted with the owner. This delay in addressing my concerns only added to my disappointment. When they finally got back to me, they outright refused to provide a refund and displayed a rude attitude throughout our interaction.While I understand that there can be differences between having glands expressed at a groomer versus a vet, I expected Scissor Me Whiskers to uphold their claims and be honest about their services. Sadly, they not only failed to properly perform the procedure, but they also deceived me by claiming that it was done when it clearly wasn't. They refused to issue a refund for their poor service.Based on this experience, I cannot recommend Scissor Me Whiskers to fellow pet owners. They provided subpar customer service, failed to hold themselves accountable for their mistakes, and were unhelpful when confronted with the issue. I encourage you to seek out a different establishment that provides better customer service and takes responsibility when things go wrong.If you choose to use their service remember that they will not hold themselves accountable or try to make it right with the costumer.

The best grooming experience we’ve ever had! They did such an incredible job on my very overgrown mini goldendoodle and she had a great time there she was even excited to go back, which speaks to how they treat and care for the dogs.
