Just Around the Corner Dog Grooming & Boutique

I took my dog in for a haircut last year and I was really impressed by the outcome. However, they really let me down this time. I tried to schedule an appointment with them and I got a spot one month later which is typical for them and I understand they are always really busy. I requested the same service as I went for the first time which I thought my dog would look as good as the first time, but this time they didn’t trim my dogs hair and I still found hair matts in her after going home. I could have achieved that result by myself. Also, I don’t like that they keep my dog for over 5 hours for haircut since my dog seemed to be completely exhausted on our way home. Overall, they did a really crappy job this time and I’m not going back for this kind of service with what I’ve paid for. I would give them 2 stars for this time and 5 stars for the first time. I’ll go somewhere else with more decent service for my dog.

Hmmm, I did not see that the store actually tried to contact me to apologize and refund, which is really nice of them. My dog’s name is Peppy. It would be really mean of me to actually have a refund since you tried to apologize for the second time and I appreciate that.

They do a great job! My dog loves getting his haircut here, and I do too! He smells so clean, and they give a great cut. They are friendly and smiley too, and pick up and drop off is easy. It seems to take about 3 – 4 weeks to get in, so be sure to plan ahead.

So, I got a call from one of the managers of Just Around the Corner and she was extremely polite and she talked to me about what happened. In the end, we agreed that there was a miscommunication between us about what I was expecting and what they understood. I will try one more time with them because after talking to them on the phone with the manager, I felt I should give one more try. She even offered to reimburse me but I didn’t think it was right of me but she insisted in giving me a free bath and brush next time I bring Luna there.

We took our Pomeranian to Just Around the Corner because we wanted him to experience something different than our local Petsmart. We looked on their website and the prices were competitive so we decided to make a reservation.
Reservations weren’t hard and they were accommodating to our needs. Walking into the store, we loved the boutique feel. The other dogs had beautiful haircuts and the owners seemed satisfied, however, our little guy just needed a bath.
When he was finished, he looked happy and refreshed. The bow around his neck was a nice touch. What was strange is what came next…
We bought the following bath:
15 Minute Body Massage
HYDROSURGE
THERAPEUTIC BATH
All Natural Shampoo
All Natural Conditioner
Ears Cleaned
Anal glands Expressed
Pads and Sanitary Shaved
Nails Trim
Bow or Bandana
For our boy, we saw online that it was only 24.99. However, we were charged 40.00. We also wanted them to brush our boys teeth, which was an extra 5.00 bringing our total to 45.00.
We still thought nothing of it initially, but started to wonder how a brushing a dog’s teeth would take a mere 30 seconds. When we walked out, we decided to inspect our dog.
He was not sanitary shaved because hair is everywhere around there, and his breath… it was the same as when we brought him…
I’m all for boutique’s and local business, but what the heck…
For a full service for 45.00 on the website it says I am able to get:
15 Minute Body Massage
HYDROSURGE
THERAPEUTIC BATH
All Natural Shampoo
All Natural Conditioner
Ears Cleaned
Anal glands Expressed
Pads and Sanitary Shaved
Nails Trim
Breed Specific/​Owner Designed Cut
Bow or Bandana
He did smell fresh, but the mistakes are glaring. Go save a few bucks and go to your local Petsmart, at least you can look through the glass and make sure that your dog is getting what you are paying for.
If prices did change, update your website, otherwise that is just cheating new customers. We will not go back and recommend that all pet owners not go either… unless you want to inspect your dog everytime…
Nice touch with the bow… but that can only make you happy when you see your dog… when you take him home… you will see the truth…

I bring my Mini Poodle, Luna, here about once every 6 – 8 weeks and they always do an amazing job. They give me a time window of about four hours for when she is expected to be ready to be picked up. They are always 10 – 15 minutes within that window. It makes planning a day of errands around her grooming appointment very easy.
The most important part, for me, is how happy she is when I pick her up. She smells great, looks great, and is exhausted for the rest of the day! A win-​win. The prices are very competitive, as well. We will continue to be a client as long as we can!

I used to bring my pup here when he was little because their pricing was so competitive. When he outgrew the puppy cuts, we brought him here every month for a full groom. As others have said, they forget to do things. They told me they’d shave his arm pits because of mats. Never did. I gave them photos and specific instruction on how I want his face cut, but they just cut the same old cut that I hate!
We changed groomers in the end and are much happier. They are more expensive but I can go longer between grooms.

First time came here for dog grooming and I will definitely take my dog back here again! Stuffs were pretty kind and helpful, but most importantly, they made my dog looks extremely adorable and beautiful! They told me at the end if I don’t feel satisfied with my dog’s hair cut, I can brink her back there anytime for changing. I strongly recommend this place for dog grooming, you will get the best experience as I did.

This place was referred to me by a friend, and I am so happy he told me about it! Best groom my dog has gotten in Seattle by far!

Best neighborhood dog grooming in Queen Anne. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful! Their service is excellent. My bichon always looks fabulous after a bath (not only is she nicely groomed, she also gets decorated with nice scarves and walks away with treats and gifts!). I appreciate their services and would highly recommend them (tho the waiting list for hair cut is getting longer and longer, due to popularity — so be sure to schedule ahead of time!)

Java looks so cute after a trip to her favorite salon! Our Pomeranian loves coming here and they take such great care of her! Very helpful finding time for us to come in and she always looks awesome after they take care of her! Highly recommend you bring your puppy in!

6 STARS****** This place is fantastic. I’ve been bringing by Shitzu here for 2 years. Always fantastic service, they take really good care of my princess baby and most of all the cut is EXACTLY what I want every time. It’s not a hard cut — but I’m particular in what I like. They listen to the specifics of what I want and do exactly what I had in mind. There was only one hiccup in my service here. The only reason I bring this up is if there were any other people affected by this same thing then you will know what was happening at that time. About 6 –9 months ago they were having troubles w their phone system. The messages were not being delivered /​the hold function with their phone was not working properly. Anyways, since then the phone provider has been switched and no issues. 100% happy with the service at this place.

I’ve brought my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel to JATC Dog Grooming once since moving to Seattle and they do a great job! I like that it is a small, family run shop and you know that they take pride in their work and that your pet is receiving great care when they’re there. The owners and employees seem to truly love interacting with the animals. When my dog was done being groomed she looked fantastic and I made a follow-​up appointment right then. Additionally their prices are incredibly reasonable. Given that they are a small, family owned shop, I thought it might be more expensive than Petco, but I actually think it turned out to be slightly less than what I have paid before at Petco.

These folks go the extra mile, we visit for my pugs nails and they do an awesome job. I forgot my wallet and they were super understanding.

I used these folks when they first opened. At that time, I thought they were terrific so I told all my friends. Now they are months out for a doggie haircut. (At least whenever I call.) More often than not, you can’t reach them in person, then they don’t return phone messages. Case in point: I’ve left two in five days. So frustrated with them. Moving on.

I was referred here by a friend and thought I would give it a try. I have called twice and no one ever picks up! I left 2 separate messages as instructed so that they could call me back and I never heard from them! I’m not sure what kind off business they are running. Very frustrated!

I’ve taken my dog here twice now, and each time they forget to do something listed under the service I picked.
The first time was his ears didn’t get cleaned, and this time they forgot to clip his nails.
For the price they charge they should make sure they have completed everything as promised. It’s hard to check him over when I pick him up since he wants to get out of there asap.
The first time I paid for a haircut and his haunches turned out looking horrible, his hair was cut in a straight line that didn’t look natural, looked like a skirt. So I won’t be bringing him for anymore haircuts, but they did do a good job with the furminator last time.

First time coming here after a friend who also has a black Pomeranian recommended me to this salon! Tried petco and they didn’t do much for my dog at the same price. The pup came out looking so clean cut and perfect and the bows in her fur were so adorable! The selection of toys and accessories were also cute and the staff was so welcoming and friendly! Definitely coming back here as a regular!

Absolutely amazing! Taking our new puppy to the groomer for the first time made us and the puppy nervous but this place took all worry away! Our puppy Bailey loves this place! I want to keep this place secret but they deserve major recognition! Our puppy looks amazing! They take extra time and care to make dogs and their owners feel appreciated. Thank you for having a passion for what you do and showing love and care for our little Mr Bailey Doodle!

This place is wonderful. My dogs got two of the best cuts they’ve ever received. They look beautiful and happy. They really understand pomeranian hair here and I appreciate how they took their time to do a thorough job. The prices are really fair, so much so that I’m more willing to bring them in more often. They seemed really kind and gentle to the dogs and the little boutique is wonderful as well. We are going back!!! You have customers for life. Thank you!

After having our labradoodle, Biscuit, for three months, his hair had grown wildly in front of his eyes. We were super nervous to find a local groomer, and tried our Just Around the Corner based on location and reviews. Best decision! They gave him a simple puppy cut, did his nails and washed him for a very reasonable price.
He looked fab and I can tell that he didn’t mind being there (my biggest concern). We went back for another cut, wash and nail session today and I’m still thrilled. All the people working there are friendly and seem to care about Biscuit, which I appreciate so much. I’d highly recommend JATC!
