I brought my standard poodle Thelma in to be groomed for the first time ever. After some really bad experiences (injury being one of them and just really jacked up cuts being the other) at other groomers near me with my other standard poodle, I did a lot of research before deciding to bring her to classic grooming. After speaking with Ron and scheduling my appointment I felt at ease. When I dropped her off her groomer talked to me at length about what I wanted and what she thought she could achieve. And Holy smokes, Thelma looks better than I could have ever expected. They may be more pricey than other groomers but you get what you pay for and this was definitely worth the cost.
