Pawsatively Elegant

I have a mini schnauzer and I have taken her to one other groomer before finding this gem. It was recommended to me by a friend who also owns a mini schnauzer. Our breeds get a very particular cut that can be easily butchered if not done carefully and right. Alicia is the absolute best! I have her cut my schnauzer everytime. Not only does she do a fabulous job she greets my dog with a happy loving voice. This makes me feel so comfortable handing my little one over to her. Thanks Alicia for all of the great cuts and experiences! Another reason I like and trust this establishment is that they have an open concept. You can see all the pups being groomed and it makes me feel comfortable that there is no hiding anything. Honestly I recommend it to all my dog owning friends and dog owners I meet.

When Pawsatively Elegant 1^st opened Dixie was amazing. Since Dixie left, it has gone to the crapper. The last two times we took Bobby to get groomed, I was very clear in what needed to be done (even to the point of actually saying the list twice to them). Both times he came back and his anal glands were not expressed. My Bobby has to have his anal glands expressed each time he is groomed because of the type of dog he is. Also, there have been a couple of times that they got way too close on his trimming of his private areas… really pink and irritated. Nonetheless, we will not be going back to them.

You know your groomer is great when your dog gets super excited when she sees her! I take both my golden retrievers here and they love it. Pawsitively Elegant does amazing cuts at a great price. So glad we found this hidden gem.

Took my Golden in for a haircut and a bath and he came out looking super cute and so happy! Definitely will come back :)

Irritated my dog really badly. His scrotum was bright flaming red within a week of coming here. It scabbed up really terribly. We took him to the vet ($$$), had to apply ointment, and kept him in a cone for 2 weeks.
Real bummer because they gave him one of the best haircuts I’ve seen him get from other groomers. Since my dog isn’t *great* with normal groomers (definitely squirmy), I suspect they were rough with him. Oh well.

Absolutely can’t say enough nice things about Pawsatively Elegant for donating their services to those 24 rescued German Shepherds. That was above and beyond and congratulations are in order. Thank you, thank you, thank you 24 times!!!

I have not been here before, but what they did for those 24 rescued German Shepherds is good enough for me to drive the extra distance.
See for yourself:

I took my cockapoo here to get a bath and trim her face only to get a phone call when she was finished, that they had completely cut her hair. I was upset and went to go pick her up and she was shaved so far down I could see her skin. There were also a few cuts on her, probably from trimming so low. I discovered those after getting home. On one good note they didn’t charge me for the cut… But don’t think I will be going back.

I was a last minute client and the staff was able to fit me in. The work done was the best my dog has ever received. So glad I found Pawsatively Elegant!

Was my 1^st time here. Everything was pleasant. As I expected from the rating on Unilocal which manifested in their customer service. Impeccable positive atmosphere they explained the process. Every so often they would call me with a status. This was pretty amazing since this is my first dog and I try to take care of it the best I can. So it was very nice that they did that. They did advise me not to cut my dogs hair but I did it anyway so the fact that I could have saved myself money was amazing just tells you it’s all around genuine company. Not only was I pleased with the haircut but I was very happy all around with how they treated me. ;)

We’ve been taking our 2-​yr old standard poodle to Pawsatively Elegant since she was 12 weeks old and couldn’t be more pleased. Our dog is a HANDFUL, yet Dixie and her staff keep their sense of humor while grooming her and she looks great! The real test in a grooming facility is if your dog willingly walks back into the shop after their first visit. (This is our second standard poodle, so we’re very used to grooming.) Our dog starts crying when we pull into the parking lot, pulls us through the door and runs up to Dixie and all her staff members. The fee is very reasonable, our dog looks great and she has a good time!

I brought my daughter’s matted dog here – Dixie was awesome! I was worried about him getting cut –he is such a sweet dog. He was perfect, and a great shaped face. My daughter said she will make the trip to OC from now on to get him groomed! Thanks!

First time at this groomer. Will definantly coming back. My dog is happy and looks great. The customer service is very friendly and professional.

As much as I scoff at businesses that don’t at least give you obvious subtitles so you know what they are (I’m looking at you, Mr. Katsu that just opened up the street), elegant paws does sound like a dog groomer.
You can read about my «confusion» with the «Lazy Dog» here:
After reading the consistent 5-​star reviews, we decided to take our new-​to-​us 1-​year-​old adopted sheltie mix to get a cut and his nails trimmed.
The staff here were wonderful, and our pup came out looking like a stud. We’ll be back.

Wow… Been going for two years now. Wanted to update… Dixie and her team are the best. My brother goes there now and I found out that one of my good coworkers takes her two pooches there too… One of our fellow poodle owner friends also goes there. We all agree… Top notch place… All of our pups are happily greeted and given the «royal» treatment :). Thanks Dixie and team… You are the best :)

This place is pretty awesome. Started taking our Schnauzer here about a year ago after having a «meh» experience elsewhere.
My biggest pet peeve is when they trim your pup’s nails, but then don’t file them off. You might as well have done nothing with how sharp they stay! This place understands. They give my boy the royal treatment and for about $ 5 less than the other place!
Now, we recently moved to Costa Mesa and will still make the drive to get the dog groomed at Pawsitively Elegant! Plus, they get your dog done in about 1.5 hours. Doesn’t take all day! Woohoo.
Keep up the good work!

Great place to take your dog. They are very patient with Trixie, my chihuahua, who hates getting her nails clipped. :)

Our Puggle loves the entire crew at Pawsatively Elegant… They truly have a love for dogs and always do an excellent job when we take him in. Frisco gets excited every time about going in for his «spa day» and we are happy to have found a place where we know he will get the best care!

I love Dixie! She is always welcoming and warm when we come to get my Brittany Spaniel groomed. She knows how to cut her hair properly. I have been going there for over a year now and will not trust my 10 year old dog with any one else. My dog gets bad anxiety and Dixie always makes sure Derry is well taken care of. Try this business– you will not be disappointed!

Love this place, Dixie always took care of my Maltese Pixie.
Pixie is always happy to get her hair trim and groom.
This is an update: I called and they told me Dixie no longer working there. I finally found a good groomer and now she is gone! :(
