Grooming for Freshwater's pets
Freshwater runs on village rhythm: the beach at sunrise, the headland at sunset, and a café strip where dogs outnumber laptops. It's a suburb that likes things personal, which is exactly how we run our salon.
No production line and no rushing. Sayaka's small team handles the bath and dry, she finishes every haircut herself, and your dog is home to Freshie in time for the afternoon beach shift.

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.

Freshwater questions
About seven minutes along Pittwater Rd to Manly. Drop-off is between 8am and midday, and a beach walk first is highly encouraged.
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.
Never. Grooms are unhurried, with breaks and rest time as your pet needs them. We ask you to allow enough time so your dog is never hurried through; that's the whole point of a small salon.
