A Cut Above Grooming Salon, Castro Valley CA

Today was my first time having a cut above groom my pup! Always a nerve wrecking experience because of previous horror stories but they did not disappoint. They followed instructions given and my dogs cut was perfect! A little on the pricier side for me but they are super considerate of the time frames they estimate, and my dog seemed happy and at ease when I went to pick him up. I already scheduled my next visit. Thank you!

The first visit was great. I have never had my Australian Shepherd groom before she is 3 years old. Jeanette did a great job on her. Considering it was her first time there. My Aussie is very vocal and barks to much sometimes. I was pleased with her groomer. Because she didn't over groom her. Like most places do.

This place is amazing. I drive from the Peninsula to have my standard poodle groomed here and it’s totally worth it! She is always getting compliments on her beautiful cut and coat.

When you enter the shop you immediately see their commitment to excellent work as the lobby is filled with ribbons and trophy’s from national grooming competitions. Nathan Austin, who owns the business with his wife Katie, is nationally recognized for his work with poodles and many other breeds. They are certified Master Groomers and committed to a great experience for your beloved and you as a client.

Our girl, Colletta Rose, is always so excited when we arrive that she jumps out of the car and runs to the door wagging her tail. And that is a better review than anything I could write!

Highly recommend this team without any hesitation!

The kindest, friendliest staff who are very talented with animals. Our puppy came home looking amazing … and he was so happy!

Walked in with my dog and they were very attentive. Puppy didn’t even realize that I had left as they distracted him. They promised to have him done within 2-3 hours and held to their word. He was ultra soft and in really high spirits after his bath. It is kind of pricy compared to my groomer in Southern California but I had a great experience all around.

So pleased with my dogs groomer. Very professional and my shy anxious dog came out happy, calm, soft and looking amazing. She was had a ton of matting in spots this time from being outdoors a lot more. Not to mention a bad home cut She was able to save her coat we have found our new groomer! I wish I had a before and after. I will edit the groomers info later.

We bring out little chihuahua here for grooming and we are happy to drive back here even after moving further away. My Mom loves the staff and told me to write a review to say thanks for taking such great care of her lil dog Tag.

I have a Cavachon that most groomers took it as a Bichon and never understood the unique shape it needs to look good. Nathan here understood perfectly, and groomed her beautifully.

Love this place. Can’t go wrong. No complaints. They are super busy yet take the time to still talk to you and be patient with what you want for your fur baby.

My Kerry looks beautiful and she is strutting around like she knows she is gorgeous! They really took care of her.

They are all very talented, kind, and lovely people. I can't recommend this place enough.

Always friendly service and a top notch groom! The staff all participate (and win) grooming competitions and have show dogs themselves, so you know they will do an outstanding job. Plus, my puppy always loves coming here!

The best groomers for fluffy dogs in this area. Katie is the finest groomer and consistently makes my havanese dog looks super cute and perfectly groomed. A Cut Above grooming has 5 stars everywhere. I love them!

So great! Quick system for scheduling and extremely professional groomers who know how to do the right cut for more than Doodles!

Thank you Nathan and team for an excellent puppy cut (breeder approved) and first groom experience for my standard!
