A small spa, big hearts.

Family-run since 2010. Three groomers, forty-six years of experience between them, one calm room at a time.

Forty six years.
One little spa.

Marina opened the spa in 2010 after more than a decade grooming dogs across Los Angeles. She wanted to create a calm, personal grooming space in Marina del Rey, one dog at a time, one gentle table, and every finish done by hand. No kennels, no production line, no rushed cuts.

Today, the spa still keeps that same small-team standard. Sophia joined in 2014, Daniel joined in 2018, and our apprentice program helps train the next generation of careful groomers. Together, our team brings over forty-six years of hands-on grooming experience.

The same calm approach. The same careful hands. The same dog, just cleaner, softer, and shinier.

Experienced hands.
Honest prices.

We’re a small, family-run spa, Marina, Priya, and Diego, plus a rotation of trusted apprentices. Three groomers, forty-plus years each. Every pup leaves looking like the dog you brought in, just shinier.

Forty years, hand on the scissors

Every pup is finished by a senior groomer, never handed off mid-cut.

Calm rooms, no kennels

One pup at a time on the table. We never crate or stack appointments.

Honest, posted prices

No mystery add-ons. What you see online is what you pay at the door.

Four unhurried steps,
one happy pup.

01

Welcome & chat

A few minutes meeting your pup, listening to what you want and noting any quirks.

02

Warm hydro-bath

Shampoo matched to coat and skin. Always at body temperature.

03

Cut & style

Hand-scissored finish, breed-aware shaping, or your choosen length.

04

Pamper & home

A pup-safe cologne spritz and final brush-through before heading home fresh and fluffy.

Four groomers,
forty-six years between them.

You’ll see the same face every visit. We don’t rotate stylists, your pup’s relationship with their groomer matters.

Things you might
be wondering.

Do I need to book ahead?

Yes, we’re a small spa and one-on-one, so we book out 1–2 weeks in advance. Same-week slots come up; call or message us if you’re flexible.

Usually 90–120 minutes. We don’t stack appointments, so your pup isn’t sitting in a kennel, they’re home with you the moment we’re done.

Tell us when you book. Our team has experience with nervous and senior dogs, and we often split the first visit into two shorter sessions to help build trust.

We do, but humanely. If a coat is severely matted we’ll shave rather than brush, pulling through mats is painful. We’ll always talk you through options first.

Yes. We groom dogs of all breeds, sizes, and coat types. From small pups to doodles, Aussies, poodles, and larger breeds, each dog is handled with calm, one-on-one care based on their coat, comfort, and grooming needs.

Ready for the
fluffiest day yet?
