John Fisher Park
the legendary off-leash run beside Curl Curl Lagoon
Serving Curl Curl (2096)
Scissored Paws provides dog and cat grooming for the Curl Curl (2096) community from our salon on Pittwater Rd, Manly. Home of the peninsula's best-known dog park, and some of our sandiest, happiest clients.

Curl Curl might be the most dog-dense suburb on the beaches, and John Fisher Park is why: the off-leash stretch by the lagoon is a daily festival of tennis balls, zoomies, and joyful chaos.
All of which ends up on our table. Sand-packed coats, lagoon-water tangles, grass seeds in unmentionable places: Curl Curl dogs live hard and groom often. We keep them on cycles that match the lifestyle, and we never lecture anyone about the sand. It's a badge of honour.
Our clients' favourite local legs-stretchers, perfect before a groom.
the legendary off-leash run beside Curl Curl Lagoon
clifftop between the two beaches, best at first light
shallow, splashy, and responsible for many of our best before-and-afters
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.
The local pack
Every suburb has its signature pets. These are Curl Curl's, and chances are yours is one of them.

sun-lovers who come in for baths, nails, and the occasional grass-seed rescue
every size, every colour, all of them magnets for lagoon water and sand
Baths to full styled grooms, unhurried every time.
No sedation, ever. Rare on the beaches, standard here.
The Japanese kawaii signature, hand-scissored.
Award-winning pattern work for pedigree silhouettes.
No booking needed, walk in during opening hours.
Around nine minutes by car via Harbord Rd to 123 Pittwater Rd, Manly. Plenty of clients pair drop-off with a Manly errand run.
It's practically a membership requirement. Sand accelerates matting though, so park-daily dogs do best on a 4–6 week grooming cycle with brushing in between.
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.
Send a photo of your pet, we'll confirm the groom and the price, and you're booked. Easy.
