Just got my official picture from the South Florida Grooming Show! I placed 2nd Place in my division and Im so proud of how I did. I had a bad fall that morning I was in a ton or pain. I groomed sitting down the entire time but I shower up and did my best. Grateful to everyone that made it possible. So grateful to Christine Standlee Pistone for letting me groom her lovely girl Charlotte. This was a combination Hand Stripping/ Thinning Shear trim with a full tease up on the head. Thanks to for the awesome pic 🥰 and to Grazia Adriani, organizers, judges & sponsors. Im looking forward to next year!!!

Grooming senior pets is always a privilege. But that comes with knowing when their usual groom must transition into a comfort groom. Something that will take less time and is easier on their body. This Border Terrier has always been handstripped and while he is amazing for it his body simply can’t handle the time on the table nor the stress. Today we did a light strip all over and the used a 1 & 2 guard comb on him to even up his trim and quick thinning shear on face and legs to tidy up. He also got to enjoy a microbubble spa bath to help his sore joints. Bathed with

When I have a Hand Stripping client that doesn’t get a bath I always make sure to add a Magic Touch leave in conditioner spray to hydrate the coat and protect the furnishings. This pup also had some tangles so I also used Tangle Free Spray to help get them all brushed out. This makes all the difference in how to coat looks and feels. Not a show dog and it wasn’t leg day. Next visit I will pull the legs. Pet pups absolutely benefit from Hand Stripping and proper coat care also. For clients interested in Hand Stripping, most sessions last about 2-4 hours. I offer one hour sessions if kept on a frequent schedule (1-3weeks)

Coat Restoration 🥰 One of my favorite things is to totally transform coats from dull clipped pet trim to shiny, healthy Carded out coats that look and feel like they should. This owner came to me 6 weeks ago and within just 2 visits you can see the difference. First 3 pics are from today(second visit) and last photo is from first visit. The owner wants a shorter easier to care for pet trim and is excited to see her pups transfurmation. Always bathed and prepped using .

It was Hand Stripping day for these 2 Mini Schnauzers. They are an adorable pair that I have been working with since they were pups. We now do short legs and faces on them but maintain the jackets fully Hand Stripped. Bathed and Prepped in ! I love using the Soothing & Shiny Coat shampoo to help calm and sooth the skin of any possible irritation after stripping and volume up with color enhancing shampoo on legs and beards. #954

This adorable Morkie had her Spaw Day with us recently. She gets a super cute easy to care for pet trim with short ears and clean shaved feet(due to the way her feet matt up between the toes this style works best for her) i figured Id show what guard combs I use to achieve this trim. I do a 2gc on her body a O gc on her legs and an A gc on her head. Then just tidy it all up with my shears. Using guard combs to set a your lengths and a pattern can help save time when grooming. I use all Wide Guard Combs even on my small dog. Bathed and Prepped in .
