The Grooming Spa

This place is exactly what I was looking for! Stopped in for a quick DIY wash after my dog became a swamp monster at Green Lake. The girl who helped us even *picked up* my scared stubborn 80 pound gross creature of the mud and carried him all the way back! He was definitely not expecting that. I’ve taken him to another place in Phinney Ridge, and for some reason he was a lot better here. I even managed to dry him a bit, I think the dryer was quieter and less scary, and having a private room is nice too. We will be back! The place is clean, the staff super helpful, and the price is right. He looks so fluffy and handsome now :)

They did am amazing job getting through the mats and Snagle nails on my pup. She was treated so well, wonderful customer service, and really care about getting the haircut right. Stella had a giant smile and was running around the shop very happily afterwards!

We have been searching for a place to get our Scottish Terrier groomed for a while. In the meantime, Hazel Bean has become a walking dust mop. We decided to visit the Grooming Spa after a phone conversation with David. He was upfront, candid, and forthcoming about costs and options. We were delighted to pick up our well-​groomed Scottie. We will be returning here for certain!

I took my lab Lola to use the self-​service grooming station for the first time ever, and it was a great experience! Super nice and helpful staff, most reasonably priced I’ve seen around my area so far, and all the things you could need to get your dog groomed. Lola came in a muddy mess and came out a fluffy blow-​dried princess. I will definitely return.
p. s.: Lola’s favorite part was her complimentary treats!

I always come here to grooming for my dog although my English is not very well. They are very nice and my dog love here.

Absolutely the best place to take your fur baby to. Great people, and my dog always leaves with a smile on his face. Oh the coffee shop next door has great coffee and service!!!

Have been bringing my Golden Retriever here for probably 12 years now, even when I didn’t live close to Green Lake. As he has gotten older, they do a great job identifying skin conditions and other problems beneath the fur.

I am very picky when it comes to groomers. My pug has a ton of allergies. So, she needs extra attention when she gets bathed. David and Emma have done such an exceptional job. They listened to all my requests and even made suggestions on top of mine that I thought was just a classy touch. Beyond the great service they provide, there’s never a rush to pick my dog up. This allows me time to get errands done and my dog to enjoy the pampering. I often get a bite to eat at the café next door just to pass some time while the grooming is happening (incredible turkey melt sandwiches there).
If you like your pet well cared for, this place will do it. I am so happy I found the Grooming Spa! I highly recommend this place!

If you want somewhere that will care for your four-​legged family member as much as you do, I would suggest The Grooming Spa. I was relieved in how welcoming the spa was and how comfortable I was leaving my dog, Jude, there win good hands. I also appreciate how thorough Dave was in making certain he understood how we wanted Jude’s coat to be cut. Thank you!

S– uper experience here for Bruce
U– nderstood exactly what I wanted.
P– erfected the Lion Cut on my dog
E– mma was loving towards Bruce and he
R– eally appreciated the cuddles.
I was very happy with the overall experience here. Bruce looked and smelled great afterwards. He was there from 11am –2:15pm. Grooming goes by bath and time. I have to say though, I was shocked at the $ 80 price tag. He was only there a little over 3 hours when I was told it could take up to 5. $ 80 is expensive. I’m from Los Angeles where the cost of living is more and we went to very chic dog spa and only spent $ 55 for 5 hours. Maybe this is something I’m just going to have to get used to in Seattle? I’ll have to do some investigating. I would go back for sure.

We had a great experience with our long haired Maine Coon cat! She was desperately in need of a bath and buzz cut. On a whim I popped into see if they had an appointment free the next day, and they were able to slide us in. Unfortunately I had a medical emergency the night before and ended up sleeping through our appointment time. I got a very sweet text when I was almost an hour late, asking if we would still like to come in or reschedule. No guilt trips! By the time my husband dropped her off she was probably an hour and a half later than our start time was supposed to be. I know they were busy, so we were very grateful for their flexibility. I also appreciate that they communicate by text, which can be so much more efficient for simple questions.
Our kitty is sparkling clean and sporting an adorable bow. Only downside is that without her hair we can really tell how overweight she is. :-0
We will be back at least twice a year!

I have been taking my golden here for a couple years for a puppy cut. It used to cost $ 70. This last spring (after they closed the Bellevue location) it suddenly went up to $ 100 and I was told he has giving me a deal since my dog took so long. He said if I came in every few months it wouldn’t be as expensive. I booked again 4 months later, again same response on cost. It also was was one of the most uneven cuts she ever received. I will find another groomer.

I’ve been here twice to take care of my long-​haired cat. First for a claw trim and some mats removed from her hind end when I first got her. She seemed to appreciate having them removed after the fact, although she put up a fight at the time, I think.
Another time I got her a lion cut for the heat. She really liked that! I was nervous while it was happening (afraid she would be traumatized or something) but it was over in a little over an hour. She was happy and extremely cute, the way they did it (Five stars for styling) Going again soon, since it is going to be a hot summer.
I can’t remember how much their services cost, exactly, but remember thinking both times that they were pretty reasonable.

They took such good care of our bratty cats!!! They smelled so good and were soft and squeezable. And they were very accommodating with my time constrains.

My dog (an mini-​Aussie named Leo) wife and I were generally pleased with the service at the Grooming Spa. First we appreciated Dave finding time to fit our dog into the schedule at the last minute. He really tries to help customers. Secondly, when I arrived Dave really demonstrated a genuine compassionate attitude that earned him my trust that he would look after Leo during the appointment. As for the final result, initially I thought his cut was a bit short but after a week, Leo’s coat looks great. He’s ready for some serious and hot summer hikes. All of the other grooming elements such as bathing, ear cleaning, nail clipping etc. really turned out great. Leo doesn’t smell and our carpet isn’t showing any excess dog shedding as was the case prior to the appointment.
The only detail preventing a full 5 star rating deals with the cost. The final cost significantly exceeded the quoted phone estimate. Had the estimate been a little more accurate or the final cost came closer to the range, I’d award a full 5.
Aside from that minor incident I would recommend the Grooming Spa to anyone looking for some reliable dog grooming. Thanks Dave, see you in the future!

The Groom Spa was great! Super amazing staff was able to get our puppy in for a full service treatment right away. She looks great! Will be taking our dog back again. :)

I took my five month Goldendoodle puppy in for her first grooming appointment and was extremely satisfied with the results! I had the appointment date wrong, but they were able to accommodate me and fit me in! Also, because I was new, we got some free special oatmeal shampoo ad ons. The manager also a great job explaining all the services that we’re going to be included and the general cost it would be. He had his own sweet puppy there, and two pups were able to play together which was a nice bonus and helped with Bodhi’s anxiety. He even called to check in 45 mins in to tell me how well they got along, which was very thoughtful. In total she was in there for 6 hours and I could definitely tell they put in a lot of time in with her.

I’ve been taking my little terrier mix to the Grooming Spa for the past several months, and I’ve been very happy with the service there. Each time I go, my dog looks great, has been well-​cared for, and the owner and staff have been super kind and courteous. My dog has only been with us for 5 months, and was rescued from a shelter; she is still nervous around other dogs and sometimes other people. She never seems agitated when I pick her up, though, I am confident they are taking great care of her!

I used to go here years ago when I lived near by. I just moved back into the area and gave them a call yesterday morning. They were able to squeeze my Frenchie in short notice. She hadn’t gotten a good grooming since I had my baby a few months ago, so she was more than due. They did a fabulous job, especially on her nails, which I thought were a lost cause. We’ll definitely be returning!

This is a great little shop right beside Greenlake. All three employees I met were kind and ready to answer any and all questions.
I dropped my medium size half yorkie half Maltese and was quoted between 70 $-$ 80 for a bath, haircut, nail clipping, and all the fixings. I thought this was a little steep and honestly a little out of budget at the time, but the GM David was able to work out a package for us that fit our budget with all of the same details. He did a great job explaining all the details and working with us to make sure our dog was well taken care of. Although the price is a little more than the average groomer the level of customer service is far superior.
