Cheap plug: read about my coinciding review of the store here: http://www.judysbook.com/members/Anastacya/posts/2006/6/390646/
We own a short-haired breed. Which means she power sheds, but doesn't need much in the way of shaving and other hair-trimming products.
However, a basset hound has the fastest growing nails known to man. Thick, too. Combined with their amazing lack of athleticism, it usually results in me having to cart my dog to the groomer about once a month to get those bad boys trimmed!
And no, I know I could do it myself, but I tried it once and knicked her. Now I am forever paranoid. I trimmed my iguana's no problem, even the ferrets now, but not the dog. To the infinite ire of my husband...
The people that work here are nice, and really know how to treat a dog. They understand how to lift my Norma (being a long-backed breed, it is critical not to strain her hips), and soothe her while they clip away. Aside from one nasty knick, I have never had a problem with infection or them cutting it too short. The one instance they did draw blood, they quickly plopped some styptic powder on her and the problem was solved.
Pricing for a nail trim includes ear cleaning, breath defunkitizer, perfume, and a choice of a bandana or bow. It runs you around $12. You take the slip up front, pay, then bring your receipt back to claim your dog. It used to be that you could take your dog and the paper to checkout, but I guess a bunch of klepto's would throw the paper out without paying for their grooming services, so they want proof now. I don't mind.
I cannot really comment on other grooming prices, but considering I always see at least one animal there to be shaved, I have to think they are reasonable. They are full service, too, so they will shave and bathe, trim around the eyes or clean the ears. As far as I know you don't need an appointment, but they will set them up. For smaller services, I know for a fact you can just walk in. I do that for the nail trims.
If you need a place to have your favorite pooch... or even cat, I would imagine... groomed, this is a good start. The people are nice, the service is good, and the pricing seems to be fair.
