    After trying several other groomers that were closer to home I found Sandy Tails and Karina. She makes my pup look fantastic and does exactly what I ask for.

    Duke is very anxious and usually doesn't do well at the groomers. They take their time and make sure he has a great experience. We love the dog spray and he looks so good after!

    Sandy Tails left Sugar looking cuter then a button! We loved it and can't wait for the next appointment. The groomers here were really sweet and experienced. I can tell that they have a lot of patience and work at the dog's pace. Sugar did well too! The one thing is that the shampoo has a really strong scent, but I personally just prefer a lighter scent.

    Happy V Day!

    Our pup's first time groom experience was awesome! Appreciate the quick service and results.

    Took my cavapoo to the sandy tails for the first time and I'm obsessed He looks like a puppy again (he's only 3 lol). Loved the 30-min pickup text and he's had a pep in his step all day

    I decided to try Sandy Tails because I wanted to support a local, woman-owned small business, but I will definitely return because of the outstanding service we received from start to finish. As the owner of a doodle, I've tried multiple grooming options, but I've often been disappointed in some way. I've been referred to groomers who never responded after I left texts, emails, or voicemails, and I've frequently paid over $100 for mediocre grooms or those unfortunate shaving/hack jobs. However, my biggest frustration has been leaving my anxious fur baby for hours because many places handle multiple dogs at once. My recent experience at Sandy Tails was the exception and, by far, the best solution I've found after over two years of research. I want to save every doodle owner time and frustration by highly recommending Becca and her team at Sandy Tails! I was able to book an appointment online, where it was easy to select the service I needed (The Bayside - bath with face, nail, and tail trim). I received texts confirming the appointment, updating me on the process, and reminding me of the appointment. Bernie and I walked over the morning of his appointment, and I immediately felt relieved upon arrival due to the friendly and efficient reception. The standout, however, was how Becca personally greeted us. She had a calm and caring presence that immediately reassured both me and my obviously nervous dog. She let me know she was just finishing up with another dog and would message me when she was 30 minutes away from completing Bernie's groom. To my surprise, I received the text in just 1.5 hours, which was record speed. I almost didn't make it back in time because I wasn't expecting Bernie to be ready so soon! I worried they might have rushed the service, but as soon as I saw Bernie, I knew the opposite was true--they went above and beyond! His face was perfectly groomed, he had an adorable and unique blue bauble instead of a polyester bandana, and he smelled amazing. I'll make sure to book well in advance from now on, as I'm sure this best-kept Eastside Costa Mesa secret won't stay hidden for long--especially after this review. Becca truly deserves a flourishing business so check it out; I promise you won't be disappointed...only amazed and pleasantly surprised!

    We love Sandy Tails. They do an amazing job with our poodle! We have tried several groomers in our area, and this is our favorite!

    Loved Sandy Tails! So easy to book and communicate with the team. We are so happy with Mia's haircut and grooming. Happy to say we finally found our go to groomer, so happy with the service! For reference she is a 23 lb aussiedoodle.

    I love Rebecca!!! She's the best groomer I've ever had for my fur babies! She's been grooming them for about 8 years. She's extremely talented and has always been kind, caring, and professional. Her pet spa is so cute and clean, and her staff is kind and friendly too. And whenever I take my fur babies in, they're always so excited to see her, which I love as well. I highly recommend her!

    We love coming here! Becca does an amazing job with our doodle, Ivy. Everyone is so friendly! Great service!

    My 4 babies after their grooming

    I can't even behin to thank Sandy Tails enough for their kindess and care. My husband recently passed away, and he did everything for our small furry family. He was the one who always fed and bathed the furbabies. Needless to say it's been super challenging for me and having our 4 furbabies to even get up out of bed and feed them let alone bathe them. Becca was so kind to help me out and she took excellent care of all 4 of them. They were getting pretty stinky and now they are all clean and smell amazing and I'm just thankful for the help. Highly recommend them and will definitely be back for their next grooming!

    Tried Sandy Tails for the first time and our dog has never looked so good or smelled so clean. Larissa was great. Definitely will come back.

    I brought my short haired dog Honey Bear in for a bath with Karla on Friday, and I also met the owner, Becca!

    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!

    This has to be one of the best groomers around. We recused our Heeler/Akita puppy from a ranch, so…read moreshe was super dusty, a bit stinky, and just had ranch life all over. We called around to get her all nice and cleaned up before taking her to the vet and home to our family, but no one had an opening. Then I found Kelsey and House of Fur. I spoke to the owner (Kelsey) directly and told her my situation and how we had just rescued Charlie. Without hesitation Kelsey told me to head right down and she would make room in the busy schedule. We are so happy we found this amazing shop with awesome groomers! The location is super nice and clean. No issues with parking as they have their own private lot and street parking. Once inside the groomers met us with smiles and took our new pup to the back. They showed us what kind of shampoos and conditioners they were using, and everything was top-notch. Cleaning took about 45 minutes, and when Charlie came out she looked amazing. No more dust or bugs! Just fresh fur, cleaned ears, trimmed nails, a nice touch of cologne, and a cute hanky around the neck. If you are looking for a spot in the Costa Mesa/Newport area I would absolutely recommend this location! We will be back every few weeks!

    They did an amazing grooming for our dog. Probably tried and been thru so many groomers and this…read moreis probably the best one we've have selected! He came back content and perfectly coiffed! Thank you guys! Looking forward to bringing him back for his next appointment!
