Bark Slope Salon

My Cocker Spaniel have only been here once but we were very please with the results

My dog Mocha Latte loves coming here. The staff is super friendly and Stacey always gives her the cutest hair cuts. I don’t know what type of shampoo and conditioner they use but Mocha always leaves Bark Slope smelling like Downey, lol (which is great). I also love how they give the dog’s a bandana to wear after being fully groomed.

No one does a better job grooming our dog! Julia always takes the time to do a perfect job – not one hair is out of place on our little poodle mix. In fact, we’ve had strangers stop us on the street to ask where we get our dog groomed. And the cut always grows out beautifully. More importantly, Julia is always incredibly gentle and kind with our dog. He’s a very shy rescue and Julia immediately understood how to handle him. It gives me such peace of mind to know he’s in a place where he’s being treated with such care. The place is small, but clean and the staff are all excellent.

We love bringing our dog Rosie here — they transform her from a shaggy mutt to a soft, velvety puppy! Their shampoo smells great and the people are very nice.

We’ve (my fiancé, our pup, and I) been to a few pet grooming salons and nothing compares to Bark Slope. Our pup loathes being handled by anyone besides us so we were pleasantly surprised when he wasn’t fussy with the groomer.
His haircut was perfect– not too short and not choppy. His nails were cut and filed down to a good length. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Though the cost of the visit was pretty steep– we think it’s worth it. We look forward to our next visit :)

love this place. easy fast. my dog is happy. quality treats for sale if i forget to bring mine.

I brought my cat in for a nail clip recently and just didn’t have the best experience. He doesn’t let me clip his nails, but other groomers have said he is «awesome» and «perfect», so when I watched the groomer clip his nails (there is a glass window so customers can see into the grooming room) and saw him taunting my cat saying «oh you’re pissed, huh», it left a bad taste in my mouth. Also he didn’t do a very good job. I cannot attest to dog grooming here, but I won’t be returning.

The owner reached out to me after reading my review. I haven’t had a chance to go back in yet, but I appreciate the gesture.

Used to be a client of a busy groomer in Brooklyn Heights, until I found Bark Slope.
My miniature poodle has been there twice now, and he comes back looking perfect.
The team is kind and they listen to my detailed requests.
I highly recommend them.

I’ve been bringing my little Bella Bean mystery mix here for a couple years now. They are so good with her, kind and gentle, which is great b/​c she is skittish and a rescue pup. She has developed some skin allergies and Julia recommended an oatmeal bath (a small add-​on) that has made a HUGE difference. No more itchy skin! Bella looks like a million bucks and always comes out prancing in anticipation of all the complements we’ll get walking home on 7^th Ave. :)

***** THEY LOST MY DOG. *****
I never thought that I would need to worry that my dog could escape the groomer, but he did. Bark Slope is incredibly irresponsible, and will never have to opportunity to even pet my dog again.
I brought Woody, a Brussels Griffon in yesterday for a grooming. I travel by train to get to Bark Slope, so I have a dog bag, and Woody was on his leash. I took him out of the bag, removed the leash, and handed him to who I thought was a competent, reliable, trustworthy groomer.
I then left and went to the pet store to purchase his dog food. To my absolute horror, I was walking on the sidewalk about 20 minutes after dropping him off, and HE WAS ACROSS THE STREET WITH NO LEASH, and NO PERSON.
Also, nobody was looking for him!
I would STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST BRINING YOUR PETS HERE.
I am now having nightmares that my dog was lost. Had I not walked down the sidewalk, he could be gone forever, or possibly dead. He definitely crossed a busy street. I am absolutely shocked that something like this could happen.

A few months ago, I noticed that my cat was drooling. I asked Julia (the owner) to take a look in Lego’s mouth just to get an idea of what I was dealing with. Though she’s no vet, she’s seen enough animals to know that something was up. She tried to get some plaque off of Lego’s teeth, but she noticed that he was in pain and had inflamed gums. I’m so glad I had her look because after heading over to the vet (she recommended the Prospect Heights Animal Hospital on Flatbush), I learned that Lego needed a few teeth pulled. Thank you Julia!!!
Honestly, Bark Slope Salon is AWESOME! Ok seriously, I don’t even have a dog and I love this place. If you are in need of grooming services and you haven’t been here, you need to commit to this place. I have a bunch of friends who go here on the regular and they’re always super happy with their dog’s cuts and styles. Are you worried because your dog has anxiety issues, is a biter or has stinky farts? Stop worrying and stop by anyway. Julia and her staff are super accommodating and always ready to help. Not only will your fur baby get an awesome cut and style, they’ll also get one of those adorable neck scarves that change with the seasons and holidays.

This place is AWESOME! They really treated my baby like royalty. she loved it! We have even made our next appt. The staff is polite and friendly and they really treat your pooch like something special. We live in Ft Greene and its a quick car ride over for great service!

My bf took his dog to Bark Slope a couple of days ago and WOW. She’s a large pitbull and hadn’t been groomed in a while but what a difference. Her coat is shiny, her nails are amazing and she smells great. She can have bad separation anxiety but she was totally fine without him for a while. Not only that, she’s prone to skin infections so she had some dry patches on her that were a little discolored. I don’t know what they used but you can’t even tell they were there! We will definitely bring her back!

I’ve been taking our two dogs to Bark Slope for grooming (bathes and nail clipping) for about one year. I live in Fort Greene but, am so pleased with their service it’s well worth the walk. The staff is super friendly, our two pups always feel comfortable and happy. Best of all, they leave looking and feeling so clean. They are always given a cute bandana too!

I brought my dog here for the first time two days ago. I thought everything was great until I found that they had cut my dog around the neck area and they neglected to inform me about it and they attempted to hide it by putting on his collar and a bandana to cover the spot when I went to pick him up. I have never experienced anything like this and I’m totally pissed off as I ended up paying about $ 100 for them to physically hurt my dog. I will never bring my dog here again! I would suggest avoiding this place!

I’m a little confused by the glowing reviews here. The place is super tiny and a little depressing. My dog seemed really freaked out here. There was no music, a crying lone dog, and the employees were oddly cold and rude. That said, they did a great job on his bath, but we’ll go somewhere a bit brighter and friendlier next time.

My dog has been groomed in many places. He is sensitive around his hind quarters due to a broken hip. We warn all the groomers and never have a problem. Bark Slope called said he bit her (no broken skin, so he was just giving the groomer a warning). They insisted on a muzzle ! They, also, did not follow directions and shaved his tail, they were told just to trim the tail. When asked why his tail was shaved, receptionist said I wasn’t here, obviously there is no communication. Will never go back.

Excellent place with great vibes. I feel comfortable leaving my pooch here. My dog Noah has come here a couple of times. The owners are down to earth, and the groomers are loving. It’s a bit pricey — -but worth the trip! Also in a great neighborhood (can grab a coffee while waiting). Tip: Make an appointment in advance. It’s a small grooming salon and they book quickly.

Wow! Thank you so much fellow Unilocalers. You did not steer me wrong here.
I took my little Blondie in for a bath… and boy did she ever need one! She finally had all of her puppy shots and the coast was clear to bring her in for her first ever trip to the groomers. I am so glad I chose this place!
It took a bit of time for her to be finished but I think that is because they have great work ethic here. And I’m glad that I had the extra time because Bark Slope Salon is in a great area with lots of fun shops to entertain myself with while I waited.
When I picked her up I couldn’t even believe she was the same dog that I dropped off. My jaw literally dropped. And no offense to her because she’s an absolutely beautiful maltese but I have never seen her look so good. She smells fantastic and is soft and fluffy as can be. That is because they use top of the line shampoos and conditioners here. They will even brush your dogs teeth or scale them if you pay a little extra.
She now looks like she could become a show dog and maybe they will even cast her in the Cesar’s dog food commercials as Cesar himself’s love interest someday. Haha! ;)
I liked it so much, that I made an ongoing weekly appointment. Bring your dog here and be prepared to be wowed too.
