Hair Off The Dog Grooming Salon & Spa

These guys do a great job with our short-​haired puppy. He loves coming in and seeing other dogs and I love that he isn’t crated while he is here. Plus he always comes home smelling so much better than when he came in! Amazing. Plus very reasonably priced.

what a CUTE cut they gave my baby on the first visit… think we found our new place

I took my golden retriever puppy here for his first grooming experience to look his cutest for Christmas. It seemed like a well-​liked place, and it was convenient. I dropped him off at opening, and when I picked him up a couple hours later I was surprised at the number of dogs they had running around. While they did a good job with the cut, he came out with a red and obviously very irritated eye (posted picture). Diagnosis was an ulcer on his eye, which could have been caused by anything getting in and scratching it. We called to let them know, and they said he probably had an eye infection before we hadn’t noticed he came in (NO WAY). The saddest part is we we had to re-​use his cone of shame to protect his eye from further irritation.
Two vet visits, pain and eye medications and $ 400 later, he’s doing well. But needless to say I will not be coming back.

I highly recommend! We have a puppy (doesn’t have all her shots yet) and Gail was able to accommodate us and allowed us to come 30 mins prior to opening so my little girl can get a bath and nails clipped. We had a wonderful experience and couldn’t be happier with their customer service.

I brought my new poodle to Hair Off The Dog and was amazed at the transformation! I wanted to share with other fellow Unilocalers my wonderful experience. I am now hooked forever. I have never once been disappointed from my visits. The employees are as friendly as the dogs. :) Today I walked in to drop off Jasmin and I got to see other works of art they had done on other breeds and these dogs looked glamorous.

Great service, love the atmosphere, the dogs all look happy and well taken care of, consistently give a perfect cut, plus great price! Definitely the best place to take your dog in the area

We took our little dog on Thursday and it was a great experience! Very nice and friendly staff and they worked as a team. Our dog gets very nervous and they immediately made him feel at ease. They also did a great job in cutting his hair, clipping his nails and the other things included for a great price. Would totally recommend this place to anyone.

Did an amazing job with my 6 month old shih tzu puppy. I would more than recommend Hair of the Dog to any dog owner!

This is not a convenient location for me but its worth the traffic because they do a great job. They always have my dog looking good and smelling fresh. They are friendly, professional and are always happy to see my pup. I always forget what I like for his haircut but they keep it on file and are quick to help me decide each visit. My dog is a tiny and cranky old man poodle and they always do a good job and keep him from having that wack poodle cut.

I went in thinking that they would groom cats but they don’t do that anymore (to give anyone in the future a heads up). However, they still offer a $ 5 nail clipping service for cats. They provided quick services and stellar customer service. I do think they missed a couple of nails on my cats front paws. However I know it is hard to control a rebellious cat, so I do not blame them.
Pros: Quick nail clipping service for cats (less than 10 minutes, I went around 1pm on a weekday). Place seems to be clean and with friendly dogs. Free side parking nearby. I definitely recommend this place.
Cons: There were many dogs in the shop so if you were worried about timing, you may want to schedule an appointment ahead of time. In addition, if your dog does not do well with other dogs, that could be a dilemma as well since all the dogs are running around in one area.

Toddy was in today for his holiday mani/​pedi. Gail and her crew are so wonderful… Toddy was excited and happy to be there and greet them all. With each visit he’s more and more docile. He loves the massage while his nails are trimmed. Gail noticed a couple fleas on him (shame on me), and when I inquired about purchasing something to take care of it, she prepared and gave me a small amount of a special shampoo product she uses in the salon. I swear, they out do themselves each time I visit. This locally owned neighborhood business deserves your patronage. They go above and beyond to exceed your expectations!

The most creative name for a dog grooming place…
Hair Off The Dog did a GREAT job on my chow/​shepherd mix who has a lot of fur (which we accidentally matted by attempting to bathe and groom her ourselves a week before).
She has thick coat as well as thick undercoat. We dropped her off at 9am and at 2pm she was ready to be picked up. She feels softer than EVER and not a single piece of fur remains matted. They trimmed her and groomed her exactly as we had requested.
This place has friendly customer service, very reasonable pricing, the owners are good with dogs, and was a wonderful experience overall.
While I understand these are attributes anyone would expect from a grooming business, I have experienced less desirable attributes at Baltimore City groomers (written in other review).
We are pleased & picky dog owners and Hair off the Dog does the job with 5 stars!!!

Been here several times. Most kind, courteous & REAL place I’ve taken my dog to. They squeeze him in and can usually accommodate the fact that I may be 15 – 20 minutes late picking him up. Love this place. Highly recommend. And I have a large dog. A+++++ service

Awesome!!! They took the time to get to know my dog and make him comfortable. I was able to easily make an appointment and he was ready when promised. No cages and they work in an open environment where you can see what they’re doing. My Labradoodle looked beautiful and he was happy when I picked him up!
I highly recommend Hair off the Dog Grooming Salon & Spa.

I visited this place because my friend recommended it, and from the Unilocal review, it sounded like an amazing place. So I guess my expectations was much higher than normal, but still there are few things I wasn’t too thrilled about. (1) Condition of the place was rather crazy, dogs running around, barking constantly, etc. My dog is a little 10lb shihtzu, she gets intimidated very easily, and she started shaking soon after we entered the premise. I wish it was a bit more under control. (2) After she got back, her ears were bleeding. I guess they yanked the hair out of her ears. I felt so bad for her, because I had to take her to vet (another scary place for her) to get medicine for the infection. (3) I understand they are busy due to awesome reviews here, but they didn’t really take time to get to know my dog or me, so when she returned, she looked cute, but I was hoping they would’ve shaved «everything» like I requested. Her tail hair was still long, her face looked cute but I wanted her face to be shaven too, because of massive eye boogers she gets.
If you want cute haircut for your dog, this will be a good place. If your dog is medium to large size, and very social, this will be a good place. I don’t think it was a good match for my little girl, unfortunately. I was really hoping this would be the place for her, so that I don’t have to cut her hair!!!

I’m satisfied with the work they did on my cat and it was for a reasonable price. I wish they had more things for cats in the shop, but I’m not surprised since it’s predominantly for dogs. I’d recommend them though.

Amazing! I took my foster pup here (she is a bit rambunctious), and they did a wonderful job of grooming her. They were very kind to her and provided me with excellent customer service.
I would highly recommend this doggie spa!

Though the lobby area could use a clean-​up and spruce up, this groomer is FANTASTIC! I have a 2-​year old Goldendoodle with a fairly curly coat. In other words I need to have him groomed regularly. Hair Off The Dog has got it spot on every time and at the best price around. They even beat Petsmart. The groomers listen to what you want and record it on a client card.
I am a customer for life.

With a surprise dog acquisition we needed to locate a groomer here in Baltimore for our new puppy. These guys are fabulous! I read the reviews of the other groomers from Linthicum to Baltimore and this place blows them all out of the water!
We have a new 19 week old Lhasa, not only did they do us a huge favor and get her in the very day we called, they did an outstanding job.
All of the dogs (customers) were just hanging out and not in cages, they were all happy (no one seemed anxious at all), everyone got along.
The owner and her daughter were delightful, nice to us and really amazing with the animals.
If we were going to continue to stay in this area we’d use Hair Off The Dog for all four dogs every time. I had zero reservations about leaving Ginger with them (and I’m over protective).

I will never take my pup to another groomer again. This place is amazing.
Tyson is a rescue dog that spent the first three years of his life as a stud at a puppy mill, so he is extremely timid and afraid to say the least. I had a very hard time finding a place to get him groomed that would take the time to make him feel comfortable. He isn’t an easy dog to groom, because he is very afraid of people.
From the moment you walk in the salon it is very clear that the groomers at Hair Off The Dog have a true love for animals. The first time I brought Tyson here I explained his background and gave them a heads up that he was a very scared, and the groomer leaned down and to let Tyson give her a lick before she attempted to bring him back with the other dogs.
I also really like that they let the dogs roam around with the other dogs instead of keeping them in cages. They will also let you drop your pup off before work and pick him up later in the day if you have a far commute back into the city.
I would recommend this place to anyone in a heartbeat. Keep up the great work!
