Located in the heart of downtown Austin, Gajeel’s Grooming Studio blends expertise, artistry, and luxury into every visit. Founder Nanci Cardenas, internationally certified at the Starwood School in Thailand, crafts a tailored experience for every cat and dog. Her specialties include show-level styling, precise breed-standard cuts, intricate hand-scissored sculpting, traditional hand stripping, and stylish Asian-fusion techniques that bring out each pet’s personality. The studio’s spa menu features fluff drying, a rejuvenating blueberry facial, and the signature “PawCuzzi” therapy soak to pamper coat and skin. With Fear-Free and Pet CPR certifications, Nanci ensures pets can relax while owners feel confident in their safety.
Her skills shines in the ring, too. As a first-time competitor, she won Best First Timer in 2022 and took first place at SuperZoo—one of the nation’s largest shows—in 2023. Nanci earned first at Groom’D in 2024 and also captured first in Sporting with her American Cocker at the U.S. Pet Pro Classic. In addition, she has had numerous second-and third-place finishes nationwide over the past three years.
Gajeel’s isn’t just a grooming studio; it’s a boutique spa where elegance, expertise, and care are the standard.
