Canine Coiffures

I have a 1 year old Rottweiler and they do a great job at this place. I take my dog here every two weeks to a wash and she comes out smelling great and looking fantastic. They really take their time and get her to look great. I will keep using them

Charles is awesome at grooming, and great with the animals and their «Parents» highly recommend this business!

I have been taking my Bijon to Charles since I moved to North PB 3 years ago. He always does a great job and my dog actually really likes going which always surprises me. Lol cause I used to have to drag him into other places. Maybe it’s the dog treats on the counter and the way Charles is with the dog makes it easier to drop him off there for the day.

I have been going to Charles for the past 6 years and have absolutely no regrets about his work on my pup. He’s a great man and has such a great personality. He truly is passionate about his career and his clients, dog and human.

Today was my first visit here and I can say I will be coming back!
The man on the phone told me that he’s busy but he can take the two dogs at 3. Everyone was very friendly and got to us right away.
My feisty chihuahua didn’t like the man but he handled everything really well and I was in and out within 10 minutes with two dogs! Nail trimming was only $ 5 and the service was great.
I highly recommend you bring your dogs here for friendly service!

Charles is wonderful. I have been taking my 140lb. alaskan malamute here for 5 years now. My boy is a big baby when it comes to the groomers, but Charles always makes it happen. Would recommend for big dogs with bad groomer tempers. :-)

I like this place. My dog seems happy to be here. They do his grooming and the price is good. What else can I ask for?

Love, love, love this place! It is so easy to book appointments for my puppys nail trim and ear cleaning. The owner is super chill and flexible. I come here every 6 – 7 weeks and I’ll continue to do so. Not to mention that the view is of the beach. so it always puts a smile on my face!

I took both my dogs too, Charles. Both were matted and needed some work. One of my dogs is older and is not the easiest dog to groom. Charles took his time with her and gave her one of the best cuts she’s ever had. I would recommend this dog Groomer as they are fairly priced, give great cuts and take good care of your animals while they are there.

Zeus, my shih tzu, is obsessed with Charles! He is so excited when he gets dropped off, and always comes back super clean and SMILING for the next week. Charles is great. Highly recommended.

Was referred her by a friend and i have to say Charles is wonderful! My dogs are always super clean and happy when I pick them up. I have used other groomers before and it has been difficult to even get my dogs to walk into the shop.
Charles always takes the time to answer questions and get my directions before hand, and prices are super reasonable (especially for the shop being in La Jolla). My dogs love Charles and Canine Coiffures and we will never go anywhere else!

It has taken me some time to sit here and write this…
I was so angry since there was nothing I could do…
I have a wonderful little 3.5 lb Maltese and went in and met Charles, we chatted for about 30 mins… I was told she would be done in about 3 hours.
I come back and from GO something was off… the personable Charles wasn’t acting like before. maybe he was busy. maybe he was stressed. ok… that’s fine. let’s see my beautiful little dog. He goes in the back and brings her out.
She is set of the counter. she’s standing there stiff as a board making grunting noises. NOTE– she is the most lovable, happy, playful dog… this is not like her… maybe she got stressed out…
this is where the red flag went up that something happened.
Charles then tells me. he’s going to give me a 50% off discount because «she was so good»… NOTE: I’ve never paid under $ 55 for her… ever. and she’s always «good».
I was a bit confused about the whole interaction. I left the shop (I tried walking her out of the shop but had to carrier her since she didn’t want to walk).I sat in my car looking at my dog. listening to her grunt… something was wrong.
I listened to my gut and took her directly over to my vet.
** After a full exam and Xrays, I was told she had a compressed spine from being dropped. She could become paralyzed.
After 3 MONTHS (no joke– 3 months) of being completely drugged/​immobilized she was able to leave the house.
*** I UNDERSTAND *THINGS* HAPPEN, BUT YOU ALWAYS NEED TO BE HONEST. If I didn’t take her to the vet she could been completely paralyzed or dead.
Charles behavior is disgusting and weak.

Our Doberman gets his nails trimmed here everytime. It is so nice to be able to just walk in without an appointment and have his nails trimmed in less than 5 minutes.
Great prices and our puppy walks out looking happy rather than enduring some type of traumatic event.
Highly recommended for your furry friend!

Charles and Canine Coiffures were referred to me by several friends who have been long-​time Canine Coiffures clients. When I made my first appointment and brought my Wheaten Terrier to meet Charles I knew immediately that we were in good hands. Charles is not only a very talented groomer, but he is friendly and a genuinely nice person to talk to. Before we met Charles my dog would either have stress-​induced allergic reactions to having his haircut or he would have an upset stomach for two days after his haircut. Now that he goes to Canine Coiffures I don’t have to worry about any of that. Charles takes his time with my dog so that he doesn’t get «stressed out». When I pick him up he walks out of the grooming area with his tail wagging and ears up. Thank you Charles for all of the attention and care that you pay to my pup Griffey. I appreciate it!!!

We were referred by another Doberman owner to get his nails clipped. We walked in randomly and the man working set everything down to take him for a few mins. Drake didn’t make any noise during the clipping. Great customer service and great work.

Found out about this place on Unilocal.We took a chance and got my wife’s Maltese haircut here. She is very picky and particular about how he is cut. It is the best haircut the dog has every had. Our dog was still happy when we picked him up, he has never been like that before anywhere else.
A+ all the way around. Charles is a great friendly guy and you can totally tell he is great with animals.
Will keep going back and highly suggest bring your pet here. You won’t be disappointed.

New to the area and did my research (mostly on Unilocal).
I decided to try Charles and his team to clean the pooch. They have not disappointed. They are always super busy — which is a good sign. You need to make an appointment, or at least call in advance to make sure they can accommodate.
They get the job done and the prices are fair… what’s not to like about that.

Charles is THE best! He LISTENS as long as you feel like talking and then does exactly what you want.
He genuinely cares about your pet. Truly, seriously cares. You can see it in the way he hold the animals, talks to them, catches on to their mood and adjusts to help the animal know they’re in good hands.
Both my parents and I live in Bankers Hill and we drive into Pacific Beach/​La Jolla to take our Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (dogs that definitely need an excellent groomer!!) to him every month.
Charles will make both you and your pet completely happy!

We have 2 Shih-​Tzu and 1 boarder collie mix, all go to Canine Coiffure every few months for a full grooming. Charles knows and cares for all of them — he is great with each one, keeps records of prior requests (he knows ours without asking). We get simple puppy cuts, so nothing special. But I’ve seen show quality stuff going out the door many times.
He is busy and it’s not a huge place, so you might need to wait a few days to get a slot. Don’t let the name and the La Jolla Boulevard address throw you. It’s in North PB, just below Bird Rock. The place isn’t fancy, but it is clean. Worth it without a doubt. Prices are very reasonable, a bargain when you consider the total experience.

We’ve tried a lot of groomers in the PB /​La Jolla area, and find Canine Coiffures to be the best by far:
* Our dogs don’t mind going there (as much as the others; not that they’re in love with it!)
* The results are fantastic; our dogs always come back looking great.
* It’s a great value for the price
Highly recommended, without qualifications.
