We strive to give each pet the very best bath and haircut every time at a reasonable price. A Cut Above Pet Stylists opened its doors in 1991. We're now grooming third and fourth generation pets for some clients. We started as a one-person salon in the upper Westside of Manhattan and have grown to two locations here serving clients from the entire upper Westside and from throughout the tri-state area.
We're staffed with fifteen or more pet styling professionals so despite our popularity, our approach is the same as it was in 1991-- give individual attention to each and every pet-- just as we did when we first opened many years ago.

Services
Because we feel it's important for the well-being of your pet, we provide free brush-outs for clients of the shop between groomings. We ask only that you make an appointment for this complimentary service and schedule it on weekdays. How frequently should I have my dog groomed? A. It depends on the breed of your dog, his lifestyle and on how you want him to look and smell. While it's true that a clean animal is a healthier one, excessive bathing can dry out the skin and strip it of its natural oils.
We're located at 143 West 69th Street on the uptown side of the street just steps off Broadway toward Central Park on a charming tree-lined street of Landmark brownstones. If driving, enter from Central Park West or Columbus Avenue (our street is westbound). You can call us anytime at 212 877-7778 to make an appointment or discuss your pet's needs.

I have taken my Westie here a few times and this is by far the best cut he has ever received. He looks like a pet celebrity after he leaves this place and everyone always comments on how gorgeous he looks. This place is not cheap, but you are getting a top notch cut. Will be making the trek from BK to come back because it's so worth it.

I just picked up my dog and upon getting home noticed that not only he has split nails from where they nail trimmed, but they are almost down to the wick which is incredibly painful for dogs. He also has a cut on his chest where they clearly shaved too close even though I specifically said not to shave. Not to Mention when I picked him up I saw a peak into the room where they keep the dogs in their cages till picked up and the overall energy in this place is chaotic and stressful for any animal.
All of that and they charge $150 where other places have been half that. Worst grooming experience and I will not be taking my dog here ever again. UPDATE: my dogs right eye has been bothering him and struggling to open since we got home and I am absolutely appalled at this grooming salon. DO NOT TAKE YOUR DOG HERE. I've never written a bad review before for any company but these people cannot be trusted. I've tried calling and gotten no response

Our King Charles Cavalier had her best ever grooming experience here. The groomer was outstanding. He asked for photos to make sure her cut was what I wanted. He sat down with me after to discuss what they had done and that she might be developing an ear infection. The place was open and transparent. This was the best grooming experience we have ever had. Can't recommend them high enough.

Amazing Experience! We took our puppy who needed a haircut badly (other groomers said they had to shave him). Ming listened to our wishes and gave us exactly what we wanted. They were able to give him a GORGEOUS grooming and were able to get out knots and matting. If you are looking for a pleasant, professional, trustworthy place to groom your pet this is it!

Worst grooming experience I've ever had. They don't answer the phone so I walked in to make an appointment, and they scheduled me for the next day. When I arrived, the door was locked and nobody came to open it even though they all made eye contact with me and saw me standing there ringing the bell for at least 10 minutes. When they finally let me in, they said they had no record of my appointment and were fully booked.
The man called the owner and was extremely rude to her, then grabbed my dog and said they'd figure it out. I was very nervous about leaving her, and I should've listened to my gut. When I came back to pick her up, not only was the price outrageously expensive, but she had a large line shaved down her back and I needed to take her to the vet. Do not take your dog here, the service is abhorrent and the grooming is dangerous!
