Clipsters’ Reviews & Testimonials
Charlotte is the most wonderful, talented, patient, kind, and confident professional! We have an extremely anxious rescue dog and I can’t express how grateful we have been working with Charlotte to slowly learn our girl’s limits and introduce her to each stage of grooming. Charlotte has made our dog feel comfortable and safe and met her needs. I can’t recommend her enough or thank her for what she’s done so far. We look forward to working with Charlotte for years to come and feel so thankful to have found her and grateful for the incredible care and service she provides! Laura & Olive, Walthamstow
Charlotte is wonderful with my little rescue pup, so patient and does everything at Winnie’s pace and Winnie looks so lovely after! Brilliant service and the kindest approach ever. Lauren & Winnie, Leyton
My dog is very reactive and has been banned from the groomers previously. I took him to Charlotte at Clipsters and I feel like I’ve found the dream groomer. She’s so so great with Bob. She’s seen him 3 times and has spent a lot of time desensitising him to the sound of the clippers, and given lots of treats and cuddles. Now he runs straight into her house. Also, you can tell she loves dogs and has the dogs’ best interests at the heart of everything she does. She’s also great at communicating with owners and will call me before she does anything to explain. I’m so happy. It’s taken me years to find someone who can balance the dog’s needs with grooming needs. I’d fully recommend her. Danielle & Bob, Walthamstow
Absolutely lovely service. Charlotte made it a really easy process for the first time visit for my 5 month old pup. I cannot say thank you enough, we will definitely be visiting regularly! Sam & Nova, Walthamstow
Charlotte is amazing. I was roped into a meeting at the time of Walter’s appointment, and had to rearrange last minute, and she was so lovely about it and helping to squeeze us in at an earlier time. In terms of the groom itself she’s been fantastic. We have had Walt for a month, and he’s a rescue dog from Romania. Whilst nice tempered, he can get very nervous around new people. Charlotte sent us regular updates and photos, and assured us that he was okay, doing everything at Walt’s pace! Very happy with the cut, he now looks like the superstar he is! We will certainly be back, thanks Charlotte! Sophie & Walter, Walthamstow
Couldn’t recommend Clipsters more. My dog came away the best she has ever looked and even got a little goody bag to take home of home cooked treats. Katherine & Milhouse, Walthamstow
Hugo has a lovely time at Clipsters. Charlotte really took the time to get to know him and was so caring and cautious. Also love the little touches of sending him with a report card and some treats. Would highly recommend. Zara & Hugo, Walthamstow
Got a chance to see Charlotte do a full groom on a cockapoo. She is so professional, making sure everything is perfect, while also making sure the dog is still calm, even stopping for a quick run around and play midway through to make sure the pooch was happy! I would highly recommend her to anyone, she seems to go above and beyond! Jessie, Walthamstow
Just picked up both my dogs Dulcie and Ralph from Charlotte. She clearly loves her job and that comes across in abundance. Definitely be going back in the future. Janice & Dulcie and Ralph, Leyton
I highly recommend Charlotte. She’s a very professional and will accommodate large dogs. I have an Alaskan Malamute which we have had trouble getting groomed in the past. She gave the dog a break and really cared about her. Excellent customer service. Karen & Sadie, Walthamstow
Charlotte was great knew what was best for the breed. (I have a Pom). My dog looks clean and tidy but not too different just as we had discussed. Charlotte has lovely personal touches and it’s very clear she cares a lot for the dogs. Thank you Charlotte. Milla & Phoebe, Walthamstow
Charlotte is very professional and very friendly and I would definitely recommend Clipsters. This was my puppy Tara’s first groom and Charlotte knew just how to calm her down. I too was nervous but Charlotte sent me photos and updates and Tara also had fun playing in the garden. Tara was delighted with her new look and we are booked in for her next coiffeur. Thanks Charlotte! Anne & Tara, Stoke Newington
Would highly recommend Charlotte’s handling of our quite attached dog. Excellent service in every way. 100% recommend. Jane & Betty, Walthamstow
Charlotte has the perfect setup with a grooming salon in her own back garden and offers a great service! Very professional, fully COVID safe, and our little Wire Haired Daschund was very comfortable throughout. We’re really pleased with the results. Gareth & Luna, Hackney
We had our Cockapoo, Bailey, groomed at Clipsters and Charlotte did a fantastic job. Jamie & Bailey, Walthamstow
Charlotte has such a fun yet relaxing set up. Winston went for his first puppy groom – Charlotte made both me and him comfortable and everything was clear and welcoming, making sure he got used to the grooming experience Winston came back very happy, clean and handsome, with a report card too! We definitely will take him back. Thank you. Rosie & Winston, Leyton
Charlotte took great care of our shy puppy during her first grooming experience, kept us updated throughout and she made a new friend. Will definitely be back. Thanks again. Kris & Lexi, Walthamstow
I took my 3 year old rescue dog, Hope, here for her first proper trim since I got her and she can be a bit of a nervous girl with new people so naturally I was a little nervous as well. However, whatever nerves we had were quickly gone as Charlotte ran us through her facilities and process as well as being fantastic with little Hope.
I was more than comfortable to leave my dog there and a couple of hours later I was back and greeted by the most clean, well trimmed, shaggy dog I have ever encountered.
Hope and I could not be more happy with Charlotte and will definitely be going back for a pre-summer trim! Could not recommend any higher! Joel & Hope, Walthamstow
I took my wash shy water dog/lab cross to Charlotte this week. He came back smelling and looking lovely. Apart from wash and trim he was also given a good brush removing lots and lots of his under fur, waxy ear cleaned nails also trimmed. He seemed very happy with the experience, when I try to do this he sulks and tried to hide from me. Charlotte thank you! Sharon & Baxter, Walthamstow
Amazing, would recommend to everyone. Professional and friendly and done such a brilliant job on my little girl. Will definitely be going back. Sam & Trixie, Leyton
Liffey is 6 years old and can’t be quite a handful sometimes. However, Charlotte seems to have the magic touch and he even let her do his nails! It was our first time using Clipsters and we had the most amazing experience. I’m a worrier, so Charlotte reassured me by keeping on sending me pictures of his wonderful time during grooming.
Upon his return he looked magnificent and smelled wonderful too. A quick trim and he’s looking sharp. I love his look and he’s ready for spring. Thanks Charlotte and we’ll definitely do it again! Dime & Liffey, Bow

Double trouble! ‘We are gorgeous but we’d like a wash and a trim please.’ 
A whitening shampoo can make all the difference. 
‘Please be nice. This is my first ever visit to a groomers.’ 
‘I look all grown up and I was really brave.’

Friday wondering why she had to come in for a spruce up. 
…But now she understands! 
‘Helllllloooo. I’m afraid I’m a bit matted, so I’ll need quite a bit taken off but I’m worried I won’t be as cute.’ 
No need to worry, Ace. You’re a proper little cutie.

Don’t worry Paddy, you’re in safe hands. 
Paddy looking super comfortable and calm after his all-over clip and ear trim. 
Bailey’s hair getting a bit hair during lockdown, so we’re going to make him super handsome… 
Super excited to show off my new trim and go on new adventures. 
The handsome Marley after a wash and brush-out. I worked around his poorly leg and made sure he was comfortable at all times. 
Mitzy looking a little unsure before her groom but she was a braze little pup and did really well. 
Doesn’t she look beautiful. So well behaved on her first ever groom. Ready to break hearts with those doleful eyes. 
Winston’s first ever visit to groomer and how chill is he at end? Brave boy. 
Couldn’t break any more hearts even with clipped nails, cleared pads and a wash and dry….. but he probably will. Too cute. 
The beautiful Trixie’s adult coat is coming through so is especially prone to matting. 
After removing every matt, Trixie had to be clipped close but will soon grow back and who can resist those big eyes! 
6-month-old Lexi looking a bit unsure at the beginning of her first ever groom. 
…But she was very brave. She went home after her wash, de-shedding, a light trim and nails clipped. A true superstar. 
‘Nope, not my hair’. Queenie having a brush out before her wash and go. 
Looking and smelling gorgeous before being dropped home. So much character bundled up in the beautiful Queenie. 
It’s a family affair with Tina and Cooper. These two beauties have very adventurous lifestyles and came for a shorter hairstyle to suit their outdoor activities. 
And Tina wasn’t going to be upstaged. Her goggles protect her from her light sensitivity but that doesn’t stop her being full of curiosity and hunting down cuddles. What a gorgeous black coat. 
Cooper’s first visit to a groomers went really well. He thought it was play time with a twist. Such an action dog, this photo doesn’t do him justice; he looked ready for lots of muddy adventures. 
Baxter (possibly the friendliest dog I’ve ever met) before his wash, de-shedding and trim. 
And after his trim. What a well-behaved dog he was. Can’t wait to see him again for summer cut. 
Liffey looking handsome after his wash and blow dry. 
…And looking even more handsome after his trim.
