MC Pet Grooming

Johnnie Walker always loves his sessions with Claudia!!!
The MC staff is great and everyone is super friendly! They are great at working with their four-​legged clients!

I took my little furry to Claudia and she did an AMAZING JOB!!! She has always been kind, caring, professional and patient. She is by far the BEST groomer in Costa Mesa. I highly recommend her A++++ excellent customer service.

Claudia is excellent! We have taken our dogs to her for decades. Our airedale gets really happy when we pull into the parking. When they are finished with him, he comes back looking like he is ready for Westminster. Everyone always comments on how good all of our dogs look (airedales and poodles) after getting groomed. Highly recommended — 6 stars!

I am so shocked at how I was just treated at this place. I brought my two dogs in and my husband picked them up as I am in bed sick. When he brought them home my bijan’s eye was red all around its eye like it had been cut or cut to close around his eye. He can’t even open his eye. I called the owner and she said something must have happened between my dog coming home from her shop. I mean really? My dog can’t even open his eye. She said I complained before in the past and that is true because I continually ask her to cut my dogs hair really short not like a show dog so he can see well and she continued to do so. I would remind her every time and sometimes she would still do it that way. I asked her if I could text her a picture of his eye as she treated me like I was making it up. I mean why would I call? She said I would have to come there. But what would she do? He obviously needs a vet, he can’t even open his eye. She then hung up on me. What kind of customer service is this? So disrespectful. Not sure how you keep customers if you treat them like this.

If I could give it 6 stars I would. I have had my Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier taken there in the past with excellent results. We currently take our Sealyham Terrier there and have done so for the last 3 years. She knew immediately that he was a rare breed and understood the coat cut needed. She is very informative and in tune with the needs of the dogs that I see there. Additionally, her and her staff take our dog on toilet breaks when needed. Very professional and passionate about her work.

Claudia and the other girls take such great care of our golden retriever! He (and we) get some separation anxiety, especially with some of the horror stories we hear about at grooming chains, and we all feel totally comfortable at Claudia’s! Our dog walks right in, without trying to pull away, and when we pick him up he acts totally normal and happy — and looks LIKE A BOSS! Thanks, Claudia, we’ll never go anywhere else :-)

This was my first time looking for a new groomer in Costa Mesa. I stumbled upon this place via Unilocal.I have a Bichon Frise with a crazy mess of a do, and Claudia did a great job cleaning him up.
The establishment is small upfront, but appears to have more space in the back where the grooming is done. It is hidden inside a plaza on Harbor. I would definitely not mind coming back here again.

What a lovely experience! … Claudia is caring, loving and very talented with our fur-​baby. She made our Scottish Terrier look like a princess.
Its so nice to find a wonderful groomer closer to home.
… (feeling grateful)
Thank you Claudia. :-)

Fast and cheap, they have a mirror in the waiting area so you can see your dog, but the dog can’t see you. This keeps them calm and let’s you know there being treated well.

Always a large smile when I pick up my dog. She loves the attention.

Claudia is the best! I have been bringing my dog Sandy for a year now and wouldn’t want her going anywhere else. Claudia definitely loves her job and takes great care of your animals needs. Can’t beat the price!

Great service Claudia is a true Dog lover! I would recommend she had him done on time He is a hard dog to work with & she did an awesome JOB!!! Reasonable Price

I’ve been bringing both my dogs here for a few years and don’t have any complaints. Claudia does a great job grooming my Yorkie, Ninja when his hair gets a lil too long and scraggly. He comes out looking like a new dog, with a little scarf and smelling so clean. It’s also nice to be able to drop off my dogs early morning (around 8am) and be able to pick them up when I get off work (around 2), makes it really convenient!

I called to ask if my dog could have his nails dremeled instead of being clipped. I have managed a few doggy daycares and since we adopted him when he was 8 weeks old he has always had his nails dremeled only by me. He is afraid of them being clipped because he doesn’t like the Pressure on his nails. Anyway, when I asked this question the lady who answered told me they did both. So I asked again if he could have them just dremeled no clippers and she said no. She told me that if they were too long she would clip them anyway because «it’s faster». I’m sorry but I’m telling you that it would easier to dremel only on his nails and you are telling me no because you have a «faster» way? I only talked to her for less than five minutes and I will never bring my dog here based on that conversation. I live right down the street by the way so it would’ve been really convenient and i would’ve been a regular. I’m going to go out of my way to go to Fountain Valley to Claws & Paws now.

I dropped my dog there over the weekend, and I must say I was a bit nervous because of the outlook of the building and inside wasn’t really a clean place… But honestly they did a wonderful job… you can’t really judge a book by its cover. My furbaby was well taken care of and I will continue to go here ongoing.

I just brought our doggie in for a cut over the weekend. Or poor doggie had to be shaved due to the fact that we were negligent and had not brought her in to be groomed in a while. Sometimes trying to save a few bucks backfires in your face.
Despite the fact that she had to be shaved, her cut come out so cute. Like other reviewers have said, you need to make an appointment early to drop your dog off early in the morning and she will call you in the afternoon to pick your dog up.
When we picked her up she smelled so good and had on a cute bandanna. I will bring her in more often so her fur does not get so tangled and matted.
The price was $ 50.00. Cash or check only, no credit cards.

The overall service is ok, BUT I got an issue with the waiting time my dogs have to endure whenever they come here. I usually get an appointment early in the AM (8 – 8:30) but my guys won’t be ready ’til closing time! WTF so what’s the point of having an appointment if my dogs will sit in the cannels for the whole day? I do understand they are busy (good for them!) but don’t chew more of what you can handle! Last time –after not hear from them for the WHOLE DAY– I called at 4:30Pm and the lady’s told me «we just working on them, stop by closing time»…in search of a new groomer :(

Pros:
The women here do excellent doggy haircuts. My Maltese and Shih-​tzu always leave looking adorable and not like the groomer just chopped away at their hair. Friendly, knowledgeable grooming staff and a clean location. The doggies always return with either a bandanna or two bows on their ears. There are 2 FAT cats in the front waiting area that are hilariously adorable.
Cons:
They have you drop your dogs off at anytime before 10 AM, however, they will not be ready until later in the day at around 6. I have had to rearrange plans to be able to pick up my dogs.
Clearly, the pros outweigh the cons. The cuts are the best I have seen thus far and the prices are not bad, either ($ 100 for a maltese and larger Shih-​tzu). I will definitely continue to be a repeat customer!

Had been taking our little doggie to another place for years, but because we had moved to Costa Mesa, the other place was pretty inconvenient to get to (in another city, and over a half hour away), plus their work had been lagging the last several times we had taken her in.
We checked Unilocal for places in CM, and MC Pet Grooming was one of the groomers that came up. The business is in a little strip center 5 minutes from our house, so we decided to give it a try. We’re pretty particular about where we take her for everything, and I was a bit apprehensive about trying a new place, until I walked through the front door. The shop is small-​ish, but VERY clean, and tidy, and you can tell that this is a place where your pet is going to be well-​taken care of. There are even two MASSIVE cats who seem to have the run of the place, wandering here and there within the shop while business goes on around them.
Claudia welcomed me and wanted to know how we’d like the dogs’ hair cut (it had been several months and Mya was really shaggy). I explained, kinda, even brought a picture of how we’d like her face trimmed but, in the end, I asked her to use her expertise. I’ll stop here and say that I felt that my pet was in VERY good hands, and was with people who were true animal lovers. Also, because this was Good Friday, and we had called that morning, she could have told us that they were full, and to come another day. But she said no problem if we could have her there by 10 AM.
Anyhow, I got the call to come get her, and when I walked in the door, Mya looked better than she EVER had before. The haircut is AMAZING, and they even put a little bandana on her! We are so so pleased.
When Claudia told me that she’s been in the same location for 23 years, I can see why. She does beautiful work, with care and compassion. We are so very fortunate, and glad, to have found her. Mya is, too.
One other point, which I didn’t notice, but my girlfriend did. When we used to take Mya to the other place, she would come home kind of «shook up» and «nervous»…not sure why, but it seemed to happen everytime we took her there. When I picked her up from MC, she showed none of that behavior at all… she was just her happy little self.

This place is the best! The service is way better than Petsmart, and the staff are super friendly. I have been to this place when they are completely booked and they still took my dog. They worked past their closing time just to get my dog back the same day with no extra charge.
Their washing and grooming service is the best. The way they cut and trim the fur is genius. They always make my dog look like a pro show dog. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who is in need of a dog groomer.
The customer service is very personable and super friendly. They will bend over backwards for you. They definitely know what they are doing!
