Groom 2 Grow｜Lindfield

Groom 2 Grow is a dog grooming salon on the Pacific Highway in Lindfield, on Sydney's Upper North Shore, run by the same team behind the Rydalmere location and trading since 2016. The salon is built around what it calls low-pressure grooming, an approach that puts the dog's comfort first so that grooming becomes something pets can settle into rather than dread.

The focus here is the full hands-on groom rather than rushed turnaround. Every wash uses two relaxing hand shampoos with massage, and the team works through blow-drying, hygiene clipping, nail trimming, brushing and ear cleaning before finishing each dog by hand with scissoring, a touch of doggie perfume and a bandana. The staff describe themselves as dog and customer oriented, and the guidance offered to owners, from when a puppy should first visit to how often a long-haired coat needs attention, reflects a salon that thinks about a dog's grooming over the long term. Alongside grooming, the wider business also offers doggy daycare and in-house boarding.

It suits owners on the North Shore who want a calm, unhurried groom and a groomer happy to advise on keeping a coat in good condition between visits.
