    Wow I just love this Salon. My pup was in and out fast. Her hairdo was just what I wanted. Also it's the closest groomer to me on the peninsula. It's my new favorite groomer.

    Our princess - inner beauty revealed!

    Samantha brings skill, love, and passion to dog grooming. Our doodle is 18 mos. old and can be a handful - still training. Bella was polite, all smiles and kisses for Samantha, and came back more beautiful than we ever imagined. How is this possible? Allow time to get down the peninsula to her shop and park in the city lot next door. Grab coffee at Balboa Lilly's just down the block. Come back in about an hour and meet a princess (or prince) - your happy, radiant doggie!

    This team of two did an excellent job on our dood Finley. Helped us with some de-matting as well as took the time and care to make sure his cut was too our liking. They did a 1.5" cut all around with a little more off the belly! 5/5 and will be using them going forward. Was skeptical at first as this was Finley's first groom but all worries about a groomer shaving Finley or giving the poodle cut have been alleviated. Thx Newport paws!

    the perfect teddy bear cut

    Newport Paws is the best groomer I've ever been to! Tried out 4 places before I found Samantha and nobody could ever get the "teddy bear" look I wanted for my dog. She's also very quick - takes 1-2 hours when other places take 4. It is so cute inside and I love that they don't keep the dogs in crates. My dog is always happy when I pick him up :)

    Even got to come home with a cute bandana!

    New favorite groomer! Tito got the best haircut of his life so far reasonable pricing, no crates, and only takes 1-2 hours! Thank you so much Newport paws! See you in again in a few months!

    New favorite groomer! My dog always leaves looking beautiful and so fluffy. The cut is adorable and they always put the cutest little bows in her hair. Our dog is always in and out of the salon so quickly and they treat our pup well. Highly recommend!

It seems a lot of people enjoy this place, which is great. Just wasn't the place for us.

The two staff who I think co-own paw spa now are really wonderful with the dogs and they're incredibly kind and soft handed. Their energy is just so beautiful & trustworthy. Before one of my dogs used to cry when I would take her there. However, after this most recent change in stewardship, my dog does not cry whatsoever she tail wags. She came back so happy! All three of my dogs came back stunningly fresh clean, happy bright eyed and bushy tailed and I feel very fortunate that they are so kind, accommodating thoughtful. They are expeditious with the work I think they do 4 hands working at one time. So that they can subject the pup to as little fussing with as possible. While just as much if not more attention to detail. Every hair is tended to. No exaggeration. If there's any fees unplanned that require discussion, they will call you during the grooming session and actually ask you. Hey we noticed this or that would you like us to XY or Z? And the extra associated cost will be this for Y and this for Z. How transparent in their pricing and reasonable accommodation is really refreshing. Particularly in a business you don't want to feel taking advantage of its great to have the trust and to feel respected, and you feel your animals are in superior hands. I also noticed these grooms have been the most long lasting work of cleanliness and just a complete change in the nature of the coat in a way that it's so much healthier and less shedding all over the house. The dogs are so much cleaner so much happier for the dogs that required a little bit of dematting due to their thick coats, they those two were a little puffy and adorably blown out the first two days. If you have heavy coated dogs like mine (Pekingese), you need to bring your dogs here. Have them de matted. And bathed etc. They will come home poofy. That's a great sign. Then just wait. Let the hair sit and settle. Your jaw will drop to the floor. The hair is perfect and remains that way. For months. Having the experience of groomed dogs now I realize a groomed dog should leave looking floofy and a little moppet on day one, two and three. If they've truly been cleaned and their hair has been properly groomed. Because then day 4 it's perfect and it's that way for months to come. Not just a week of looking nice. I learned so much from seeing the differences. They just look like they got touched by the hand of light and beauty and love. And as if they were groomed fresh today. So that's the difference. Before their partnership, my dogs looked great for about 5 days. At a week they were dirty again. Or seemed so. Now when we pick them up it's they look floofy and preciously clean and every hair tended. Then after the floof sets oh my word what perfect hair and skin they've had since. The thing I also noticed about these new talented partners whose work is worth every CENT. Don't go anywhere else. Even though I don't like to give out my favorite secret places. This is truly my favorite secret. And I'm sharing because this is life changing work. If you want your dog to be clean for 2 months+ per groom, go here. If you're tired of weekly or biweekly grooming. And want a groom that lasts go here. You'll believe it when you see it.

    Esther is soooooo amazing! My goldendoodle hates getting brushed daily so he gets matted so quickly…read moreeven with grooming every 3 months. We just moved to OC and found Esther thru seeing her work on another pup while I was out and about. To be completely honest, when I dropped my pup off, I was so ready to picked up a completely shaved boy (because he is so matted on random spots) Esther spent the entire day with him (blessed her heart) When I picked him up, I wanted to cry. He looked sooooo cute and like a perfect teddy bear! Could not thank Esther enough. You have a customer for life! We love you and grateful to have found you!

    One of the most frustrating and unprofessional experiences I have ever had with a business…read more The crazy part is that I had actually brought one of my dogs here before. The haircut was decent and the experience was okay, which is why I decided to come back with all three of my dogs. Looking back, that was a mistake. I scheduled appointments and clearly discussed haircuts for all three dogs. They kept my dogs for over three hours, and when I picked them up, it was obvious that almost nothing had been done. No haircut. No proper grooming. No bath. It looked like they had simply been brushed and sent back out. After wasting hours of my day and leaving my dogs there, I received essentially no service. Then came the best part: they expected me to pay around $100 per dog anyway. Let me be clear--the money is not the problem. The problem is expecting customers to pay hundreds of dollars for services that were never provided. Why would anyone pay for a haircut that never happened? To make things even worse, over a month later the owner called me demanding money and threatening legal action. Instead of taking responsibility for the fact that nothing was done, she chose to act aggressively and try to intimidate me. If that is how customer complaints are handled, it's no wonder people leave upset. This business seems far more concerned about collecting money than actually delivering the services customers are paying for. The lack of professionalism, accountability, communication, and customer service is unbelievable. I gave this place a second chance because my first visit was decent. After this experience, there won't be a third chance. I will never bring my dogs back here again. If you care about your pets, your time, and your money, I strongly recommend finding another groomer. There are plenty of businesses that actually do the work before demanding payment for it.

    Ruff Haus Grooming is THE BEST! The best grooming spot in all of Orange County…read more Like most dog owners, we used to go to the local groomer down the street and after a few experiences, we'd go looking for another one. Then go look for another one. Then go back to the first one. And alternate between the 4 nearest depending on our schedule and how they were doing and etc. After explaining my frustration to my fellow dog owner friends, we were highly recommended to check out Ruff Haus Grooming and we are so glad we did because we finally found a grooming home for our little fur baby! From the minute our fur baby arrived, the owners were so very nice, warm, and patient. Our baby is not the most "friendly dog" especially to strangers especially when he knows we are at the Vet or at a groomer but Ruff Haus Grooming team was so loving, he eventually let his guard down. The best part? It's like that TV show Cheers! They remember us, remember our baby, and remember how we like his cut, and etc. America was built on hard working small family businesses like this and I'm so very happy for them. He was groomed so well my wife asked the groomer if he could cut my hair LOL! I usually talk to the groomer (Kevin) who is the master groomer who is amazingly gifted at what he does. Very straight to the point peronsality which i love. I don't have time for small chat: I'm usually in a rush to drop off the dog so I can go play golf or pickleball! My wife is the one that schedules everything and takes our baby to grooming and usually talks to the lady who I believe is the wife: she's the very friendly and outgoing person who my wife usually interacts with. As reasonably priced as you'll find in the industry and for dollar for dollar, this is as good as it gets around here. We drive 35 minutes each way and it's worth every dollar and minute!

    Ruff Haus Grooming is AMAZING!…read more We brought our dog, Mochi in for her very first grooming, and we could not be happier with the entire experience. From the moment she arrived, the team was gentle, patient, and so loving toward her. First grooming experiences can leave a lasting impression--good or bad--and we are so grateful that Mochi's was nothing but positive, calm, and joyful. Not only did she enjoy her time there, but the grooming work itself was absolutely beautiful. She came out looking adorable, clean, and perfectly styled--far beyond our expectations for a first visit! Thank you, Ruff Haus, for treating our Mochi with such care and for giving her a wonderful introduction to grooming. We're thrilled to say she'll be a regular and very happy client from here on out!
