Extras
Scissored Paws is a salon in Manly, not a van. Sayaka trained in dog grooming and animal nursing in Nagoya, Japan, and has groomed professionally in Sydney since 2004, including Best in Show at Sydney Royal grooming in 2013. Her specialty is scissor work: traditional clips for schnauzers, westies and poodles, modern styles for cavoodles and spoodles, and Japanese kawaii teddy bear cuts, which the salon says are rare on the Northern Beaches. Cats are groomed without sedation, with breaks and no rushing.
