13, 2012 You and Michael
did a wonderful job with Zen. I have never taken him in for a bath and was a little
nervous. But you guys knew exactly what to do to make him feel calm. He smells
wonderful and was very happy to meet you guys. He will definitely be back for
baths, brushing's and nail clippings. I am very glad that he has a groomer that
he can trust. Amanda |

17, 2011 My foster dog was
in sad shape when I got him. Smelly and matted, he needed professional help. I
brought him to Deb and Mike and they were amazing! Not only does Lumpy look like
a brand new dog, but he carries himself differently! It is obvious from the moment
you walk in that Mike and Deb truly care about the animals and people they serve.
They've earned another loyal customer with me and I will refer everyone I know
to them. Carissa |

Services! - Wonderful service and definitely a reasonable price for everything
they did! Made my 12 year old border collie's coat shine, like she was a puppy
again! Zythur10 |

I urge you to take your pet here, I promise you the cut and the experience will
be a cut above the best! Nancy

4, 2011 I have been having
my dogs groomed for several years at a local shop, that never seemed to get it
right, despite the high cost. I was referred to your place by a friend, and have
now told all of my friends. The care that you gave my dogs was beyond professional.
You made little Harvey, a rescue dog, who was a matted, filthy mess, into the
most handsome little schnauzer. You and your husband treated our dogs as your
own. It is so wonderful to meet people that are "crazy dog lovers",
like myself. It was so apparent that you love what you do, because they were the
best grooms we have ever gotten! See you in a few weeks- this time- we'll have

2011 This place is so awesome.
First, they take appts 7 days a week and they were super professional and friendly
with our two dogs. One of our dogs is particularly afraid of nail clippers and
the hair dryer, but they were patient enough with him not to upset him too much.
Some other places we've been our dog has tried to bite groomers who go too aggressively
with either one. We've even been asked at some places not to come back because
of that. The service is fantastic
and the prices a loooow. I was so surprised they groomed both our dogs, including
a bath, blow dry, some trimming, furminator, and nail clip for about $45 a dog.
That's around $25-30 less per dog than almost everywhere else we've been. We
will be back!! Mark |

January 30, 2011 Izzie
and I absolutely love the way that Deb and Michael take care of her when she is
with them. Deb does a great job grooming Izzie; when I pick Izzie up, she looks
beautiful and smells great! I recommend Shear Elegance to everyone I know, I always
keep shear elegance business cards in my purse and I pass them out when I am at
the dog park or whenever I see someone that has a pet. Leanne |

January 30, 2011 Shear
Elegance has done a great job on both of my dogs. They are always friendly and
excited to see my four legged kids when we get there. I would recommend them to
anyone, not for just the fantastic job they do on my dogs, but also for the reasonable
price they charge for the grooming. I paid just about the same for one dog at
petco as I do with my two dogs with Shear Elegance. I would also like to thank
Deb and Michael for closing their shop to help care for the animals on the days
that Mn Snap is there to provide low cost spay and neuter to homeless animals

January 26, 2011 I
have not had my cats groomed at this salon yet but plan to when they recover from
their neutering surgery. I did, however, have the pleasure of talking with the
owners and found them to be wonderful, kind people who truly have a passion for
taking care of animals and providing these great services at very reasonable prices.
After listening to their stories about their own adorable furry companions and
listening to how much they truly care for animals and the people in the community
I began to admire these people for what they do and their passion for community
involvement, especially their partnership with MN SNAP. Sacrificing a day of business
for low-cost spay/neutering for those who don't have the hundreds of dollars to
spend on their pets is very admirable and is something that needs commending.
I would like to recommend them to anyone who has a four-legged friend who needs
a haircut or nails trimmed, because I can assure you that they will be in the
best of hands. Nikki Johnson |

January 10, 2011 Wow,
Deb and Michael are fabulous! They bathed and gave a customized shear only haircut
to my Silky-Poo. She looked terrific and was very relaxed when she came home.
Shear Elegance is not just any other groomer, Deb is unique in her hard to find
talent of Shear grooming at extremely competitive rates and hours of Service.
She has 21 years of experience and is very knowledgeable. In my past grooming
experiences my dog is done being groomed less than 45 minutes and sometimes leaves
me wondering how they could do a complete job with my dog? Well, when I asked
Deb how long until my dog would be ready she stated her average grooming time
is between 2 in a half to three hours. I was stunned-but it was clear that my
dog was pampered and her grooming was completed to perfection. From the precision
of her cut to the overall perfection from head to toe and treatment. It starts
with the attention of detail from genuinely listening to how I wanted to have
her cut, the shampooing, conditioning treatment with top products with time allotted
for my dog to rest from each step completing the finish look and Hollywood treatment.
My dog is a rescue from a puppy mill and has anxiety when she is put in an unfamiliar
environment. When I picked her up she was extremely relaxed and comfortably exploring,
I noted her behavior and Deb explained that she also specializes in animal massage.
When Michael noticed that my dog was having anxiety he went on to explain and
demonstrate how they massaged my dog to relax her! I tried on my dog when I got
home and it worked- within minutes she was snoring. I am thrilled and blessed
to found such caring, unique, and expert groomer. Deb and Michael are passionate
not only for animals needs but the owners. If you are looking for the best
of the best for your pet, you would be a fool not to go to Shear Elegance! Michelle |

January 4, 2011 I
have been using Shear Elegance since summer of 2010 and I will never go anywhere
else. Deb really takes her time with Pixie and makes her feel comfortable - now
when I say "we are going to see Deb!" Pixie runs to the door and can't
wait to go! The lower prices are certainly appreciated but what keeps me coming
back is the SERVICE. Deb does a fabulous job. She is patient, experienced, and
most importantly she loves dogs and it shows. Pixie recently got a scissors cut
which other salons have refused to do because she is young and doesn't sit still.
I am here to tell you Pixie has never looked more beautiful, the cut was perfection
and I couldn't be more pleased. I promise you will not be disappointed with Deb's
services. Thank you Deb! Nichole

14, 2010 Oh My Goodness!!!
That is all I can say. We brought Fluffy into our home a month and a half ago,
he was just furry and had extremely long hair and is all matted underneath. After
looking for a groomer that was not just like working on an assembly line of puppies,
we found Shear Elegance online. When I picked Fluffy up today, he literally looked
like a different dog! I could even see his eyes again! I almost didn't recognize
him! He looked amazing! Thank you Deb so much for making him look AMAZING!!! Shawnacy |

September 7, 2010 I
decided to try Shear Elegance after spending hundreds of dollars at a retail grooming
salon. I have to say I am VERY pleased! Pepper looks fabulous! I could tell she
was very comfortable with you and that means so much. You are great! Thank you,
thank you, thank you! We'll be back soon! Shari

17, 2010 Both my dog &
I had a very positive experience at Shear Elegance. Debbie is so sweet & good
with both dogs & people. I really appreciate her lower prices and the special
attention. The environment was new & very clean & relaxing. At the other
places my poor dog would be so anxious about me leaving him there but Debbie made
him feel right at home & Max warmed up to her instantly. She has a way with
animals and did an excellent job making my dog look & feel his best. Kristine

care of him. I've been to plenty of different groomers but no one compares to
deb...she is affordable. THANKS DEB.... Talisha

5, 2010 The most professional
and courteous groomers we have every dealt with. Did an excellent job on our dog.
Would highly recommend to anyone!!! Most reasonable rates compared to what we
used to pay at Petco, and Groomingdale in Eagan, MN. Saved at least $15.00 over
those other 2 places listed. Steve

16, 2010 Love Shear Elegance
Pet Grooming! Not only did I save money from my former groomer (La Pooch) prices,
but Deb and Michael did an awesome job on my Pomeranian, Taz! Taz is very neurotic
at best, but when I picked him up today he was so happy!!
Thank you Deb and Michael! Taz and I will be back soon! Leslye

15, 2010 Sophiedog is 11
yrs old and we have had her groomed in one place primarily, and not been that
satisfied. The first time Deb cut her she was perfect, and she grew out perfect,
too. But more than that, Sophie was having a problem with throwing up stomach
bile at feeding time and then in bed at night after eating. Deb told us just what
to try, and it worked!!! We haven't had one incident since then and it has been
months. Thank you Deb for understanding dogs and their needs and helping us dog
lovers. |

| July 6, 2010 Our
LaChon (Bishon/Lhasa) was way overdue for a cut. I have a difficult time getting
her into a groomer because no-one seems to be open nights or weekends - or they
are all booked up into eternity on Saturdays. I met Deb at a community event on
Friday and we got Snowy into see her on Saturday. Snowy is 19 months old and this
was the first time we were asked how we wanted her to look. Snowy's cut took twice
as long as the last groomer. She looked more than twice as good! Deb took her
time and instead of just shaving her down in an assembly line fashion she washed
and conditioned Snowy's hair. She did a great job dealing with Snowy's knots and
only shaved her in a few spots. Snowy's tail has never looked this good! She also
showed us how to brush our little dust mop and suggested a different type of collar
to reduce the knots caused by her collar rubbing. Barbara |

June 26, 2010 Hi
Deb, Mom and I
had to check out your web site. WE LOVE IT---it's really cool---every dog should
be as lucky as I am to have you take care of them. I was walking down the street
last night, and the neighbors were saying, "Kasey, you got a hair cut. You
look so handsome." Mom said, "Deb at Shear Elegance does such a good
job of grooming Kasey." I think I look handsome too! It
was a pleasure to meet Michael--we liked him a lot. It's like being with family
instead of an unfeeling business. It's very obvious you like what you are doing
and good at it. Thanks
for taking such good care of me. See you soon. Love,
Kasey & Mom |

12, 2010 Deb, We
would like to thank you and Michael for doing such a great job with Gizmo. Giz
is very friendly, but quite large. She looks very comfortable with you and you
show great care to the animals we have seen you with. Giz leaves your shop looking
soft, beautiful and very content. Animals
can read people and we see that Giz likes and trusts you. You have gained a loyal
customer in us and we will continue coming back to Shear Elegance. Your fees are
very low compared to the others we have gone to. We highly recommend Shear Elegance
and it is a pleasure dealing with your company. See
you next month for Giz's bath. Bruce,
Sandy & Gizmo |

| Deb is the
BEST! She does a fantastic job with our little guy. Harley is normally a squiggly
8 pound Maltese. Deb is not only a talented groomer but she understands dogs,
their needs, and temperaments. We have had the opportunity to watch her as Harley
is getting his haircut and he is calm and enjoys every minute. Truly amazing!
...Deb and Michael have a genuine love for our four legged friends and it shows!
We highly recommend Shear Elegance Pet Grooming...you will not be disappointed.
Cathy & Dick P.S. Harley
is looking forward to his next visit! Cathy

8, 2010 Deb groomed my
dog and actually asked me what I wanted instead of telling me what I was going
to get. She is very knowledgeable about grooming dogs as well as helpful hints
for me and my dog. I will never take my dog anywhere else.
Thanks Deb for the great job on my dog, Thanks Deb you're the best. Bikerboy
