Johnny’s House Dog Salon
If your pet is in need of a s-paw day then Johnny’s House Dog Salon on Kaheka Street has got you covered. The Japanese-style salon is owned by true dog-lovers who named the business after their own dog, Johnny (if you’re lucky, you might even meet him during your visit!). Customers can choose from a basic package—featuring nail trimming, ear cleaning, shampoo and conditioner, gland expression and pads and feet trims—or a full package, which includes the aforementioned a haircut and styling. After each grooming session, pups can strike a pose and show off their new ‘do with an adorable and creative photo shoot. Johnny’s House Dog Salon also offers dog boarding for furry friends who can fit into small crates.
