I am so thrilled to have found Pawlor. This groomer is KENNEL FREE! — your dog mingles with friends while waiting to be groomed or picked up. When I arrived at the salon, I was greeted by happy dogs who were behind the counter but definitely out and about. I assumed they were the owner's dogs but Aaron, one of the owners, explained that they are a kennel-free environment and that if your dog is anxious or doesn't mix well with other dogs, they are separated into different holding areas, but never in a kennel, which keeps them relaxed for their grooming. I LOVE that. Ryann, one of the groomers, took my dog Freddy but not before asking his name first. Everyone was SUPER friendly and they were definitely dog people — Ryann was cradling a little dog in her arms as we were chatting later. (The other groomer I've taken my dog to never ever asked what my dog's name was, nor did he ever greet or interact with my dog, which made me suspicious.) Pawlor's grooming tables are also out in the front of the shop, not hidden in the back so you can see what they're doing at all times. Highly recommend.

I have two Maine coons and a Great Dane. My cat recently got a grooming service, and he looks amazing! He returned home so happy, and Eduardo was incredibly gentle and kind to my dog as well. Definitely recommend super amazing will be back!

I moved to Oakland recently and picked the Pawlor Salon and Spa because of their great reviews! They definitely did not disappoint! I was able to make a same day appointment, they did a fantastic job with grooming him (his haircut was perfect and just how I asked!), and they sent us a grooming report and before and after photos too!

The folks at the Pawlor are awesome. I have a nervous dog and they’re very chill and accommodating with us. They do an excellent service.

Very cute shop and friendly staff a walks distance from my residence. Did a great job with my dog who seemed very at home when I came to pick him up. Will definitely be coming back.
