Grooming by Connie

Best groomer ever!!! I took my bulldog to get groomed for the first time and she’s did an amazing job! Not only does he still smell great she took great care of him! I would refer her to my friends and family due to the great service and amazing price! Thank you so much Connie

Connie is the best!!! She takes such great care of my Maltese Hannah! I’m always at ease when I leave her with Connie. She does the best job at giving my dog a great cut!

The only reason I’m giving even 3 stars is I do like the cut. I called the day before & Connie said she could take me at 1. My Yorkie was there from 1 until 7! I called at 6:10 & she hadn’t even started grooming. UNACCEPTABLE!

Alright, there were a lot of components that led to this 2 star rating. Let me elaborate:
Immediate reaction to the cut: My dog came out looking adorable. I liked his cut and my only complaint right off the bat was a few uneven parts on his back/​sides. But no biggie! 3.5−4 stars for how he looked…
Then, I pet him and his fur was flying everywhere… Simply putting my hand on him and slightly ruffling his fur caused a bunch of hair to float everywhere and get all over my car and my clothes. The main reason I get him groomed is to control his shedding. Every single time I get him groomed he comes back clean and doesn’t shed for 1 – 2 months. I think she probably gave him a bath and then cut his hair instead of doing it the other way around. It was ridiculous. I had to brush him out and give him another bath because his fur was getting everywhere;
Service/​interaction with Connie: She was quick to respond to my texts and I appreciated that she was able to get me an appointment quick. I dropped him off at noon and was told he would be done around 5:15 — 5:30 pm and she would call me when he was done.
I got a voicemail from her around 4:00 pm saying «your dog is done». So I wrapped up at the office and went to go pick him up. Upon arriving she took one look at me and this exchange happened:
Connie: Uh I said I would call you when he was done. He’s not done.
Me: Oh, I got a call from you!
Connie: No I didn’t call you.
Me: Yes… I have a voicemail from you.
Connie: No.
Me: Umm yes let me show you the voicemail…
Connie: I didn’t call.
Me: *plays voicemail of Connie’s voice informing me my dog was done“
She apologized profusely and I was alright with it at that point. She didn’t mean to and it wasn’t a big deal I got to go grab a drink and a snack while waiting. I did not have a sour taste in my mouth and I would have given a 3 – 4 star review if his cut was awesome. But when I came back and his fur was flying everywhere… Nope.
I should not have to brush or give my dog a bath right after taking him to the groomer.

I drive from Anaheim Hills to take my papillon to Connie. She is a great groomer. Reasonably priced, beautifully grooms my Pap., and my dog smells fresh and clean for at least 3 weeks after. Love Connie and won’t go anywhere else.

Miscommunications occur, apparently.
On Friday at 1:10 PM I received a text from Connie. She said she texted me, but while she said that, I found it hard to believe as we chatted for a good 10 – 15 minutes, receiving plenty of text messages on Friday, yet nothing since Monday.
Anyway, at 1:39 PM she sends me a screenshot. I’m guessing her graphics that she uses for her MMS was not compatible with my iPhone.
I will bump this up from a 2 to 3 star because she did reach out after reading my poor Unilocal review. But she says my initial Unilocal review was unjust, which I still disagree.
Perhaps instead of going all fancy with MMS, stick to something simple like text… Plain text messaging.

My puppy is super pampered. I baby him and fret over every little thing that gets done to him. My sister took her dog to Connie when she used to have him and recommended that I take my pup here. I was very reluctant to try a place just based on reviews so when my sister gave Connie a glowing recommendation, I had to come here. I live about 25 minutes away. Sure, there are groomers who are closer to me. But after Hunter’s first visit with Connie, I knew that I would make the drive each and every time.
1. You can text Connie to set up a time to come in. It makes it much more convenient for me to be able to do that.
2. She is extremely friendly. She sends us a postcard every month or so if Hunter has not been back. She even remembers Hunter and how he is. She reassures me that she will take good care of him.
3. She cares about her clients (parent & pup). She texts me a picture when he is done. She puts water out for him. She keeps him separated from the other dogs when he seems skittish. She recognizes him when he comes in. How great is that?
4. Prices are very fair. I’ve been to a few other places and her prices are competitive. Coupled with the great service, I definitely choose Connie.
5. Hunter comes home super sleek, clean, and he smells delicious. I’m very sensitive to smell, and the powder she uses on him is light and easy on the nose.
My experience has been exceptional with Connie. Typically, Hunter is there for about 3 hours for a bath, nail trimming, and other cleaning (anal glands, etc). I highly recommend Connie.

We live in Garden Grove but always make the trip to Connie’s every time we need to get our dachshund freshened up. Connie is always so accommodating. I usually text her a few days in advance to see when’s the best time to take him in. She always responds quickly and is always spot on with her times. She even knows all of Hunter’s tendencies now, and does an amazing job keeping him comfortable. Hunter drools when he gets nervous, and Connie found out right away the first time we took him in. He hasn’t drooled the last 5 times we’ve taken him in, and she always lets us know how good he was. After Connie’s, he’s always super soft and as my roommate says «he smells divine.»
There’s usually a good amount of dogs every time I come. Today there was about 4 in kennels, a golden retriever being washed off, a Maltese being blow dried, a poodle on the ground licking itself, a couple more terriers fenced in the front, and my little guy fenced in the middle of all the action with a comfy rug to lay on. She does a great job of keeping all the dogs happy and relaxed. They all just stared at me without a peep when I looked in. Well except for Hunter. He was excited to see me.
Prices are very reasonable and depend on your dog’s size and breed. A grooming gets our little guy bathed, anal gland and ears cleaned, and nails trimmed. A small price to pay to get Hunter pampered and keep him happy at the same time. Connie always texts me to let me know when he’ll be ready to be picked up too. I appreciate the fact that he’s able to go home as soon as he can. The next time Hunter decides to roll around in the lawn for no reason, we’ll be back.

I called Connie and left a message. She returned the call the next day and took my pup for his first ever hair cut. I was a little anxious being without him all day, but when I went to get him, it was clear that he had enjoyed his day and that she had loved on him as much as I do. Connie is also a kind and very nice person who likes to chat with you. Additionally, the whole establishment was clean and organized, which I like to see when dropping off my pup.

Grooming by Connie does the best grooming job by far! She loves your dog as if it were her own. She takes her time and does it right. I recommend her for your little fur babies!

Teddie & I LOVE LOVE LOVE Connie! She obviously loves what she does because she really puts pride and care and love into it! Not only did Teddie get an awesome grooming, Connie made sure to make sure he was comfortable (cuz he’s super shy and nervous) but he was a happy camper at pick up! Connie also was really open and communicated with me about his nails not being trimmed this time cuz it was too early and also about the socialization experience he had with the other dogs. I felt really at ease and would recommend Connie to anyone and everyone I know. She is the best! She even worked late to accomodate my schedule. She is definitely a hard-​working, honest, caring, dog-​loving, awesome groomer!

This was my first time bringing my puppies Brownie and Lola to Connie. From the moment we walked in She was very nice and the place was very clean. I was a bit nervous leaving them but Connie reassured me that my puppies will be well taken care of. I was late picking them up and she waited for me!!! My puppies looked amazing
Connie did a great job with them. I highly recommend her.
Thank you Connie

Connie does a great job bathing, cutting and styling my Tommy boys hair! I don’t know how she does it, I get so impatient just bathing him myself. He goes on looking like a street dog but comes out looking like a champion dog! I highly recommend Connie for your grooming needs!

Tiki Bön Bön loves Connie and her grooming shop! She always come home with a cute bow or bandana and smelling so so good. I am beyond happy with Connie and we will always be taking Miss Tiki here!

I first took my dog Ace to Connie a couple months ago. I called on a Friday and she took him no problem without an appointment. When she called me to tell me he was ready I was out at the beach and she was totally okay with me picking him up anytime as long as it was before she closed. When I picked up Ace he looked amazing!
I just took Ace back for grooming yesterday. I again, called Connie without an appointment and she again let me bring him in regardless. (Im not good with planning ahead). When I got there her and I chatted for a bit, shes super friendly and has great advice about dogs. She texted me when Ace was ready and I went and got him. He of course looked wonderful! There were a lot of other dogs there, A LOT, which shows that I’m clearly not the only one who trusts Connie with my dog.

Connie always accommodates our last minute scheduling and provides the best care and quality grooming for our baby Kona. Tomorrow is Easter Sunday so she placed two Easter ribbons on her collar, took a glamour shot, and then proceeded to send us the pic via text to inform us she was ready to be picked up. She goes out of her way to assure that your dog is taken good care of. Will never take Kona to petsmart or any other grooming place.

I highly recommend Connie, she is GREAT!
I used to get my dogs groomed at my vet, but they recently got bought by another company and with that came a lot of changes and old staff leaving including my groomer. I was really mad that I was going to have to find a new groomer. I found Connie on Unilocal,called and tried to make an appointment for the next day but she was booked. She said that I can leave my number just in case she has a cancellation. The next day I received a call from Connie and brought my dogs in half an hour later. I forgot the name of the gentleman at the front who helped me, but he was very nice.
I was nervous to see my dogs. Although I showed her a picture of how they normally looked groomed, I wasn’t sure how they would come out. My dogs look AMAZING, and far better than my old groomer has ever done! She even showed me a video of one of my dogs running around and playing, and they washed my dogs halters which was VERY nice of them. I really appreciated that.
Excellent customer service. Again, I highly recommend Connie! You will not be disappointed :)

Connie does an amazing job. I have to weenie dogs and they are my babies! From the start my dogs warmed up to Connie and they were super happy when I came to pick them up. Connie was on point every step of the way. If you are looking for a great dog groomer then you have found your place. Connie will get the job done and at the end of the day they are in good hands! I recommended Connie to my friends!!!

Connie is awesome and I highly recommend her!!!
We have been sending our dog to Connie for seven years. First of all we tried many grooming shops and none of them works out with my dog. He is stubborn and sensitive to tools and noises. With other places either they totally drained out his energy and my dog just collapsed the next day, or they use solutions that gave him bad allergic reaction.
Connie is my savor. She worked with my dog and gained his trust years by years. Now he loves going there and hangs out with her. We have moved further away recently but I would rather drive further to Connie. In this way I know my dog is well taken care of.
Not only Connie is super patient with my dog, but she is an excellent groomer. She always does a great job and I never have any complaints about the results. The cost is reasonable and she is a trustworthy person. If you want to find a groomer you can trust and build a long-​term relationship with, Connie is your choice.

We’ve been taking our dogs to Grooming by Connie for many years now, and she always does an excellent job with our bichon and chihuahuas. Our generally neurotic and xenophobic dogs actually enjoy the experience and get excited when we walk into her salon. They always come back beautifully groomed and happy!
Connie loves and treats every dog that comes into her salon as if it were her own. She is certified in many grooming techniques and is always continuing her education and certification on the latest techniques and products. She likes to give every dog the individual attention and time it deserves, and she frequently takes walk-​ins to try and accommodate her customers. With that said, I don’t recommend taking your dog in on a strict timeline with the expectation that she’ll always work her magic by an exact time. She generally gives and meets realistic time estimates, but if you always give her the time to work, you and your pooch will be 100% satisfied with the results. If you want to force your dog through a stressful assembly line grooming process to get him or her in and out on your busy schedule, then go somewhere else. If you want your dog pampered, happy, and groomed within a reasonable amount of time by a wonderfully talented groomer, go to Connie!
