Grooming for Balgowlah's pets
Balgowlah quietly has some of the best dog country on the Northern Beaches: North Harbour Reserve at the bottom of the hill, Tania Park up on Dobroyd Head, and the Spit walk threading past it all. The local dogs are fit, salty, and frequently magnificent.
We help with the magnificent part. Balgowlah is one of our biggest client suburbs: close enough that a groom slots into the school run, and full of the wool-coated crossbreeds that need scissor work, not just a quick shave.

Parking at the salon
Street parking is available around our Pittwater Rd salon. Better yet: park near the beach, walk your dog before drop-off so they arrive calm and happy, then finish the walk together after pick-up. The fresh groom deserves a lap of honour.

Balgowlah questions
About six minutes by car, down Sydney Rd to 123 Pittwater Rd, Manly. Most clients drop off between school run and coffee.
Street parking is available on and around Pittwater Rd near the salon. Our favourite trick: park near the beach instead, walk your dog before drop-off so they arrive relaxed, then finish the walk together after pick-up to show off the fresh groom.
Yes. Sayaka trained in Japan and has won national grooming awards for breed work. Schnauzers, westies, poodles, and cockers all get their proper silhouettes.
