I hope this helps you take a breather on your lunch break today, or maybe your morning coffee, or while you dose off to bed.
This weekend I was able to get an exclusive interview with some high ranking contestants at the AKC Royal Canin National Dog Show! This is one of my favorite shows of the year, and being able to ask the hard hitting questions on everyone's minds this year just made it that much more special. Featuring Interviews from competitors from all over the world. Microphone is the Andis Grooming eMERGE, my favorite microphone-- er, clipper-- that's come out thus far. Let me know what questions you think I should ask at the next show!
One day 11 years ago this month, I came home to my mom from my first day on the job bathing dogs. I told her I never wanted to do anything else. I was 19 years old 🥹11 years of grooming shows, dog shows, and seminars. Of asking questions, listening, and watching. Of following around people who know more (and so that means there's always someone to follow). Webinars, contests, and private lessons. Over a decade of asking anyone who will answers, "How's this? How can this be better? What can I change?"Aaaand since my favorite hobby also happens to be my job, that means I'm going to be asking questions, listening, learning, and doing ALL the things for 11 more. 🎥 Photo & clips by Groom Haüs & Tone Vargas , which is honestly like... so cool. I mean, who do I think I am? On GROOM HAÜS BAYBEEEE!!

Tess' Summer Guide for Coat Care! If you want to keep your dog tangle free this summer, this video is for you! 😎
.
I always bring my handy dandy Andis bag with me to make sure I have everything on hand to take care of my pups after a romp in the pool. Today I'm using Iv San Bernard Mineral Plus Cream shampoo, PH Balance Lotion, and the Orange Pek Hair Mask. Product requirements will vary by breed/dog! ☺️
.
First, I wet down the coat. I use a loofa to pour my shampoo onto & dilute. This also makes it easier to spread & lather. I let this sit a couple of minutes, then rinse. I follow up with a PH Balancing cream and massage it into the skin & coat. Let sit for 5 minutes, then rinse. Finally, I apply a hair mask & brush it through the whole coat so that it becomes foamy. I let it sit for 10 minutes then rinse thoroughly. 🤩
.
One of the most important steps is to follow up with a COMPLETE blow dry. Moisture left in the coat can create hot spots & encourages matting which is exactly what we're trying to avoid. I use slow & predictable motions to dry the coat all over using a Shernbao 2 speed dryer. Once the coat is about 90% dry, I remove the nozzle from my dryer & use it to blow warm air onto the coat while I brush him thoroughly. 😁
.
ALWAAAAYYYS check your work by taking a metal comb from the roots to tips! If your comb gets stuck, it's back to the brushing board for you! 🤪
.
Well, there you have it! That's my super secret! That'll be 25 shmeckles. If you don't have 25 shmeckles, I'll accept following the steps in this video as payment. Your dog, groomer, vet, & wallet will thank you. 🥰 thanks so much to my bestie over at Happy With Dogs for the flamingo party & filming me! 🖤🖤🖤

Important updates for our wonderful clients & potential new friends:
On Tuesday, 1/28, our older van (which we now refer to as "Nati's Van") was badly damaged from hitting a tree. Thankfully, the only thing injured was the van itself and it is still in working condition, albeit pretty beat up. Due to our busy schedule, we will not be able to fix the damages right away so we wanted to apologize in advance to Nati's clients for the eyesore! The good news is that our insurance should be covering most damages, including the wrap. 🤞🏻 We will take it in for repairs within the 6 month timeframe given to us by our insurance company. 🖤
As we have always done, we would like to be transparent and let you know that we are once again a 2 stylist team-- Nati & myself. Nati will be absorbing the Bath & Tidy clients that were pulled from our waitlist should their schedules allow for it, but unfortunately we may struggle to be able to keep any haircut clients pulled as my schedule is completely full and unable to accommodate additional dogs.
I do hope to hire another stylist in the future and will be accepting applications, but we are happy to have our little & loving, special space split between Nati & myself for the time being. 🖤
