I forgot to take after photos of these two 🤦. But they both have texture in their coats, and I stripped the long fuzz out. The one on the left had been clipped so the hair was soft and faded but he will grow a lovely harsh and dark black and tan coat next time now that the fuzz is all stripped out.

Schnauzer puppy! This coat had some texture to it so I opted for a strip. The puppy tolerated it really well. The next time, there will be more wire growing out, and then I’ll strip the rest of the puppy fuzz out.

Puppy’s first strip for this Cairn terrier. There aren’t really any layers so we just start thinning the hair and giving the illusion of layers but thinning the back more than the skirt

Mr. Levi back for his second strip. He needed very little taken off. I mostly just thinned it so he could get another layer in his coat.

Angus got pulled down today. Not much for layers, as he hasn’t been in since January, but he cleans up pretty good! This took 45 min of stripping, plus a 15 min bath and tidy. igroom texture spray is my favorite product for giving the head hair some lost before they leave the salon.

Sophie gets her back carded and stripped.  She only comes every 8-9 weeks but she turns out pretty nice 🙂

Bentley the Border Terrier. This took an hour and 15 min. He was in 4 weeks ago. I basically ended up taking him down to his undercoat in most places, but he was coming every 2 weeks for three sessions, so he has new layers growing in.

Lenny had only minimal grooming over the winter and it was time to remove the scruff. The first pic is after combing and taking. The second pic was after 1 hour. The third pic was after 1 hour and 45 min. He will be back for his bath and final touch ups tomorrow.
