Paws at London Towne

Took my 2 pups here for the first time and they came home looking very handsome! They did an amazing job especially with my terrier (who has an exceptionally long thick coat which is tough to deal with). Both dogs came home happy and smelling good. Definitely worth it!

Let me preface with the fact that my dog never got groomed here, and this review is just advising potentially new customers on the scheduling process…
I’ve called multiple times trying to get my dog in for a grooming after having seen the great reviews and living just a couple of blocks away. This week when I called, I left a message (a huge annoyance… I feel like it’s TERRIBLE customer service to not answer your phone). Of course I didn’t get a prompt call back (like in a couple hours time) so I called back hoping to get them before they closed. My second call, I spoke to the owner who couldn’t help me because she wasn’t at the shop. She would call me in 15 mins, which turned out to be 30, but close enough I guess. In the phone conversation, I was informed that most customers make appointments weeks in advance — I was looking for 2 – 3 days later. In the return message I was told that they couldn’t get my dog in for over a week.
It’s great that the local business is doing well, but they clearly don’t seem to need new business. It would be helpful if they put on their Unilocal page their scheduling requirement as it’s very frustrating to keep trying and to be told they don’t have availability.

SO GLAD we found you! We had a wonderful first experience today. When we stopped in to make the appointment early in the week, the person who took our information and scheduled an appt for us was very nice and professional. They said they’d call the day before to remind us and did exactly that. When we dropped off our dog, a mini schnauzer, the gal that checked us in, Sara, was very thorough and attentive to what we wanted them to do. They quoted that it could be 2 – 3 hrs, and she was ready in less than 2 hrs! Super fast compared to the groomer we’ve been using for years. At our old groomers, they’d keep her waiting hours before and after her appt, which adds stress to the dog. However today when we picked up the dog, she seemed so content and happy, and she looked beautiful-​they did a great job on her! My only suggestion would be to get new signage, and accent PAWS this to result in making them to get too busy, lol!) I’ve passed the building countless times and had no idea I lived so close to a great grooming place!

I love these ladies! They are so pleasant and it is quite clear that they love dogs. My dog always comes home happy and so beautifully clean!

I love this groomer! So worth every single penny! My 90 pound dog Mister looks so clean and simple. I recommend to all my fellow friends that live near by!

Alma is fantastic. My dog always comes back looking and smelling absolutely perfect. I would definitely recommend Paws at London Towne to my friends!

Absolute BEST! Kye LOVES it here!!! He runs all the way to the door and paws at the door in excitement as he is greeted by Sara. They provide excellent service, courteous, and are incredibly reliable. Most of all, they are exceptional with all of their furry clients! I refer everyone to Paws at London Towne!

I’m not surprised to see numerous 5-​Star ratings! We are very happy that we found Alma over a year ago. My girls always look great when they come back from their visit. I just wish we could do it more often! The shop is located in a convenient location, with plenty of parking. The professionalism and cleanliness are consistent. My girls love all the compliments they get when they prance with their new cuts. Thank you Alma & Staff… with love, your little Yin & Yang.

Highly recommended by my veterinarian. I took my dogs there for grooming and nail trimming and was very happy with their service. The owner and her assistant were very friendly and their work very complete. The parking lot is very tiny but street parking is more than ample.

Paws is awesome! I bring my two pugs, Willy and Woody, to Alma once a month. She does an excellent job with her de-​shedding bath and the full service. The pugs have always hated getting their nails trimmed. Alma and the staff at Paws are all so calming and soothing, my dogs are always calm when I pick them up. It’s a great place for anyone who loves their doggies and needs a truly great grooming option. We love Paws at London Towne!!!

Alma is awesome. My dog loves going to her. He always looks so cute when she is done. Pretty reasonable price as well.

Best groomer!!! I’m so thankful we found Alma! She has a gift with the dogs and is truly a «dog whisperer» I can’t believe how calming she is for the dogs! BEST GROOMER EVER!

Took my 3 babies to this wonderful doggy spa! :). Was very pleased with the service and my dogs looked and smelled wonderful, and appeared to have enjoyed their whole experience. I would highly recommend to try this place out, you will not be disappointed!

I have brought my little rescue dog Pumpkin to a few different groomers without success before I found Alma! Upon calling her and explaining about my dogs severe anxiety, she could not have been kinder. She first of all cut her nails, at which Pumpkin tried to bite her several times, Alma put on a huge protective glove that covered her whole arm so if Pumpkin tired to bite her again, she would be biting this instead, she was completely unfazed.
When I brought her back next day for bath and grooming, Alma said she would try to reassure Pumpkin as best she could, but if she had to use a muzzle she could, i did not have a problem with this. When I went to pick Pumpkin up afterwards, she was a new dog, she smelt great, looked great and was a little shaky but fine. Alma did not even need to use the muzzle, I couldn’t believe it.
I am so happy that I have finally found someone I can bring my little pooch to and I cannot say enough to recommend Alma and Paws at London Towne!

Sarah is the best my mom has been taking her 7 year old Maltese named Mister to her since he was 3 months old. Sarah is the only groomer he’s ever known and he loves her, he doesn’t love the bath part, but he’s always happy to see her.
My mom first found Sarah at PetSmart and has followed her wherever she went, when she finally opened up Paws at London Towne, there was no question about going there too.
Now that I have my own little one, Bambi who is a chihuahua, she sees Sarah for her nails. I found Bambi wandering a parking lot starving and scared. After having her checked out by the vet he said her nails were severely overgrown and needed to be trimmed, they offered the service but I declined, I knew I could trust Sarah. Bambi wasn’t very happy about getting this done but Sarah was so patient with her and then when it was done she didn’t even charge me…
Both Sarah and Alma are wonderful, they will treat your babies like their own. Great groomers and great people!!!

I was looking for a groomer to trim the almost-​ingrown nails of my pug Willy, and we found this great place via Unilocal.Alma did a great job with Willy’s nails and we will definitely be bringing him and his twin brother Woody back for a complete spa experience. :)

My puppy Ariel doesn’t cry when she’s here so it gets 5 stars!!!
As a new puppy owner I was very nervous about where to take my puppy especially after hearing some horror stories at other places. My cousin found this place because she actually followed the groomer, Sarah, from another business. I knew she was a good groomer because my cousin told me that her dog loves Sarah so much that he actually ran to her (not away!) when they saw her at the dog park, good sign!
[[ Location ]]
It’s located at a plaza at the corner of Torrance and Prospect
[[ Parking ]]
Small lot but I’ve never had a problem at the times I’ve gone
[[ Price ]]
This is the first place I’ve taken my dog so I can’t really compare to other places. It seems reasonable to me since Ariel always comes out well-​groomed, happy, and smelling great!
[[ Service ]]
FANTASTIC! Sarah is soooo nice and Ariel really likes her! My puppy always comes out looking clean, smelling good, and in one piece (which is basically all I’m looking for!)
[[ FINAL VERDICT ]]
I highly recommend this place. ask for Sarah!

Alma is the best, sweetest, most caring groomer ever! She is so gentle and loving with our puppy — you can instantly tell she’s an animal lover. Our dog, Sophie, is always calm and at ease when we take her to Paws at London Towne because the environment is peaceful and quiet. There are no loud, unhappy dogs barking or crying hysterically. The prices are very reasonable and the quality of the services are superb. Alma is extremely detailed and meticulous when grooming our dog, Sophie, to ensure that we get the exact haircut we are looking for. I can’t recommend this groomer enough!

I love this groomer. My dog Lexy is 13 years old and since we moved here last year she has never had a nicer haircut! Most of all I appreciate the care that is provided to the animals. Great environment, and friendly courteous service. Weve been there 4 – 5 times and I plan on making our next appointment asap!

Alma Sanchez has been the groomer for my dogs since I first adopted my wonderful Grammy Bear in April of 2004. Grammy was a young Australian Shepherd male who had lost an eye in a scuffle with his brother, but this unfortunate event did not prevent him from being a prince of a boy, and I wanted to find a groomer who was not just good at grooming, but who also truly was good with dogs. I live in Los Angeles, but went throughout the southland looking at salons and watching the groomers work with their doggie clients. When I found Alma, I knew immediately that she would be the one. She was immediately sensitive to the fact that Gram Bear only had one eye, and told me that she would take extra care not to get shampoo or anything else in his good eye. She had – and has – a loving touch with her charges, and all the dogs I have seen her work with sit willingly and unafraid during the grooming process.
Over the years I have adopted several other Aussies; some of them were older and have already crossed the Rainbow Bridge – including my beloved Grammy Bear. The three I have now are completely willing to go to be groomed – they don’t tremble or pull at the leash to get away.
You will LOVE Alma’s salon. This new location has been open for a little over a half a year (at the time of this writing). I see all her old clientele plus a lot of new sweet furry faces – good news travels fast. Her shop is at the corner of Torrance Boulevard and Prospect in Redondo Beach. If you are heading west on Torrance toward Prospect, you would make a left onto Prospect and then a quick right into the parking lot for London Towne. You will see a cute green awning over the door, and when you walk inside, you feel as though you are in an English Country Garden. It’s clean, it’s not noisy, and Alma and her other groomer, Sarah, use the best products available.
Become a regular before you have to be on a waiting list! Alma is the best!!!
