| Would you pay the groomer if she cut.... your dog's hair off, or should the service be free? Another friend of mines has a 2year old female yorkie. There is a groomer in the Vet's office that she goes to. The same groomer has been cutting her hair for at least a year and a 1/2. Last week she picked her up from the groomer, and all her hair was cut down, except the face. She's usually parted down the middle, as her hair was growing out. My friend told them what she says each time, shampoo & trim. She said the groomer was not there when she picked her up. Everyone was looking dumbfounded while she cursed them out. She said no one volunteered a sorry, here's a coupon, nothing. She said it was closing time even the vet was gone. She has never had a problem with the groomer and felt the groomer let someone else cut her dog. She feels she should be compensated in some kinda way, even though it won't bring her dog's hair back. When she finally spoke to the groomer, the groomer said sorry, one of her assistant's thought TRIM meant to take it off. What do you think?

| What do I think?? Uh, thats why I do my own grooming now! Most groomers don't take the time to get mats out, its faster to shave dogs. I've learned just enough about grooming to be dangerous, but least my babies will have hair when I'm finished! And I save a bundle too! |

| Well it sounds like a bad communication problem to me. At our shop we would never cut hair unless we are told to and even then it is discussed in depth. You did not talk to the groomer, so that in itself is a problem and when there are more people to pass the directions down to these things can happen. Lucky for you the hair will grow back but it will take some time. I would think that maybe the groomer or the vets office would give you so compensation for the mistake. If not then I would think they do not care about you as a client and I would find a new groomer. Owner Best Friends Pet Salon Salem Oregon |
