This was the 2nd time I took Sam to The Dog Salon and they did a phenomenal job with him. Today his groomer was Mariano who said he was a sweet boy who likes to nibble on his feet (which is true) his 1st visit was with Stephanie and she said the same thing. B/t the 2 of them I was very pleased. Definitely will continue to go back to them.

The Dog Salon always does a great job with my pup, Riley, she's been going to them for I think about 3 years now. She only needs a bath, no cut, but MY GOSH she comes out so soft & smooth & not to mention I stay staring at her lovely trimmed nails! And now they offer CBD bath & treat! Our last experience sealed it for me though: I was awfully late picking up my dog from the groomer (wish I remembered her name) & Liz the receptionist, she was the last pup out but they stayed with her, played, & took her out for a walk, & made sure she was comfortable. I couldn't be anymore appreciative of them!

If you're looking for a groomer in CLT this is your place! Incredibly attentive and friendly staff. They always do a great job on our two Doodles!

Our baby boy got his first big boy full groom by Steph. We are so thankful with how patient she has been with him! He looks so handsome.

My dog loves this place! He's been getting his haircut here for 10 years and counting.

I do not recommend the dog salon. My dog got a groom there for the first time a few weeks ago and they were not careful while washing around her ears. About a week after I noticed some sensitivity around her ears and decided to make a vet appointment. Finally when she was seen they said it was a bad ear infection. They said it was really bad and came from water in her ears and asked if she had a bath recently.

Well the groom was her last bath. I am always super careful when I wash around her ears and have been for the 7 years I've had her and never an infection. Also, that groom was her last "bath". We have only washed her paws off. These people are supposed to be professional and totally unhappy they were not more careful.

Was a little nervous to leave her because of past experiences at other groomers but The Dog Salon took great care of our girl Ivy! Shes so soft and smells so great! All staff was so friendly and you could truly tell they genuinely care about your dog! Will definitely be back!

My foster dog was completely new to going to a groomer and I was concerned he would be anxious because he had already been through so much in his life before he was rescued by us from the shelter. The Dog Salon not only did a fantastic job with his haircut (and his bath, he smelled wonderful) but gave him a pleasant experience with his first groom and that means so much. He was all tail wags! I can't thank them enough for taking such good care of him or for making him look so dapper!

Picture on left is what the dog salon did and refused to fix it or mediate the issue! The photo on the right is what he looks like after I took him to be re-groomed! They didnt have a problem getting my dog groomed correctly! My dog came home happy so they must have treated him very well! I would never go back to The Dog Salon and would not recommend them to any one! I would rate them a zero if I could!

I really love the way Rebecca cuts my pup and it was his very first. It really activates the Miniature schnauzer-tude (beard and brows) in his truest form!

Been going here for my dog's grooming services and they have been so wonderful and amazing. There was one time I was running late to an appointment because of traffic and they were very understanding and still let me dog in for a groom. They really do care about your pet and will make sure your pet is comfortable while they're groomed

Took my dog for her first grooming session (at age 2 -- whoops!) and cannot sing The Dog Salon's praises more. Hazel gets anxious at the vet, so I was a bit worried, but she walked out happy as a clam and beautiful as ever. I was pleased with how fresh she looked, and yet not "over groomed, " if you will. The Dog Salon is the best!

Took very good care of our Baloo. He is a Saint Bernard that need a bit more attention when th grooming is complete since he does not enjoy being crated. Their "waiting room" for the dogs after their groom is perfect.

Drop off was quick. They said give us about 4 hours and as they said she was done in about 4 hours. My dog went with a lady named Jennifer who did amazing. My dog is not happy with me but I'm happy with how she looks. Will be coming back

My dog Olive and I had a great experience at The Dog Salon! We just moved to Charlotte in September and Olive was in need of bath/mini groom badly. I kept hearing great things about The Dog Salon so I called and made an appointment for a few weeks out. Olive is a 3 1/2 year old Bernese Mountain Dog and she is a very nervous/shy dog. She was fairly nervous when I dropped her off but she is extremely sweet so I knew she would be okay. When I picked her up she looked gorgeous and fluff

Brought my dog in at 10am, had her out by 1pm (exactly how long they said it would be) and she came out smelling great with an adorable little bandana! I had her nails trimmed, a teeth cleaning, and a bath and it came out to $65 which is a great price considering how well they did. Would totally recommend to anybody looking for a new groomer in Charlotte!

I was a little nervous at first because drop off was a bit chaotic (my dogs a yapper) and there were several people waiting outside. My groomer was so kind and patiently waited for me to bring my dogs to the front of store. She was super sweet. I think her name was Krissie. They sent me pictures of my boys! They texted when they would be ready and I walked in and I was expecting to hear my yappy boy from the back of the salon but nope!

Both my boys were calm and seemed very happy and content. I was in shock! It made me feel that my boys were well taken care of! They look adorable and I cannot wait to bring them back!

Ashley did a wonderful job with my anxious little dachshund Teddy! Will definitely be coming back to her and The Dog Salon in the future. The appointment booking, drop off and pick up processes were all easy and I loved getting a "report card" on Teddy at the end.

We love having The Dog Salon on the East Side! Our mini goldendoodle always looks great when we pick her up : They are also very friendly and easy to get in touch with via phone and are quick to respond to email. We will keep going back for sure!

The process was simple, my dog seems relaxed and happy after his appt and his new hairdo looks so great! Angie did a great job and I appreciate how efficient it was. Thank you dog salon!

They were very thorough for my new puppy's first time at the groomer. She came back beautiful and clean. I was worried about the hair on her face and butt because she is long haired and tears a bit and sometimes gets poop in her hair that is hard to get out. They trimmed the areas I was worried about and left her pretty long coat. She is a very shy shihpoo but they said she was very sweet and had a great time on her report card. Can't wait to bring her back when her next grooming session is needed! Thanks

I've really been meaning to do this review and kept forgetting. So let me say I am so glad I finally found my Charlotte dog groomers. The emailing scheduling process was simple, despite some negative reviews. The walk in process was quick as well. But as you can see from the before and after pics it's truly the cut that seals the deal for me. I wish I remembered my groomers name but she was really good with my Schnauzer and did everything that I asked. So thank you THE DOG SALON, Baldwin and I will definitely be back.

1st time at the salon. Amazing experience. Researched various salons and reviews after getting 2 Havapoo puppies and was more than pleased. They took care of their first bath and trim and also bath my sweet pitbull. Super friendly

Took my dog to The Dog Salon for the first time for a full groom. I'd always heard great things about their services so finally made the switch and very happy with the results! Booking the appointment online was easy and they were quick to respond. The covid protocols in place are very thorough and easy to follow as well! Olivia did the grooming for Lolly - she was very friendly in the consult and followed all of the notes I gave her - Lolly looks cute as can be! If you're in the search for a new groomer I definitely recommend The Dog Salon!

I absolutely love The Dog Salon! Drop off and pick up always goes smoothly. Olivia does an amazing job with Peanut's hair, I can't recommend her enough! I also love how you can request an appointment easily online.

I absolutely loved my puppy's new look when I got him back! He was like a whole new dog, had lost an entire layer of hair. He's an Akita so he blows coat 3 to 4 times a year and when this happens it comes out in handfuls. So I decided to take him to the groomer and they took the majority of the hair out that he was shedding and it helped tremendously! They are also very reasonably priced!
