About Shelley & The Salon

A peaceful home salon where dog comfort always comes first.

Kia ora Shelley! At ShelzWagz Dog Grooming, Shelley has built a sanctuary where dogs can be groomed at their own pace, free from the stress and sensory overload of busy commercial parlours.

Having previously cared for pups in the neighbouring Onehunga community, Shelley now welcomes dogs into her peaceful Mount Wellington home salon. Every grooming session is booked one dog at a time. That means no barking in adjacent holding crates, no rushing through treatments, and no assembly line stress.

Shelley is a proud member of the National Dog Groomers Association of New Zealand (NDGANZ), combining professional industry standards with a gentle, intuitive touch. Whether your companion is an energetic pup, a timid rescue, or an older dog with stiff joints, Shelley ensures their dignity, comfort, and safety come before everything else.

"Shelly is a godsend! Fig really struggled with groomers since he was a puppy and Shelly has the magic hands that made him feel safe enough to fall asleep during grooms. He's grown up now and is a chaotic teenager but Shelly still works her magic and he comes out looking handsome everytime. We love his lovely eyelashes and the attention to detail as she works around them is so appreciated"
