Chow-Chow Extreme Makeover
This is from quite awhile ago, and I’m not sure if I ever posted it. Lemme tell you, when a dog like this walks in, my heart sinks. Here is a dog that is gonna take ALL day to groom. The before photos don’t even give justice to the size of this dog. He was […]
Chow-chow handscissor
Edit Out here they call it a “jemez trim”, but I prefer calling it what it is… a tight handscissor all over. I was terrified of chows before I met Lexie, who is the sweetest, most prissy chow ever. She bounces when she walks and insists that everyone at the front desk fawn over her […]
Full-coated Lhasa Apso/Maltese cross
For those owners who dream of an AKC-style full-coated toy dog, know this: the owner of this dog brushed him, then combs him twice a day. He’s never had a haircut, except for rounded feet and trimmed up face. He STILL has mats behind his ears and in his tuck up (right before the back […]
Putting a little creativity into your matted pet shavedowns!
Let’s face it: no one is impressed by a naked mole rat, but sometimes a dog is just so matted that you have no choice. Below is my pom/bichon mix, featured here before, and she arrived super matted. she has extremely fine, silky hair, but I think the real reason she matted is because when […]
Panda Take Two!
After manic panic’s Raven black failed so miserably I went on a search for a better, truer black. This time I used Waterworks black, which is a powder you mix with water. It is water-based with no harsh chemicals but because I’ve never used it, I was very nervous using it around his eyes. I […]
Panda Dog Transformation Demo
I’m no expert, but here is the footage from over 2 months ago, when Bo was a panda… before I went crazy and chopped him up. This video is offered for use by PROFESSIONAL Stylists. I take no responsibility for the pet parents who attempt this. Please note the Hints & Tips at the end. […]
Shih Tzu TeddyBear Head – PetSmart ABQ
This is one of my FAVORITE request clients, Oscar. He has visited me once at Enchantment since I left PetSmart, and I can only HOPE that he comes back… his parents live across the street from my old Petsmart store, so Enchantment is about a half hour drive. This is an example of my teddybear […]
Maltese Puppy dematted – PetSmart ABQ
This gorgeous baby came to me matted to the skin. She was extremely mellow and let me gently demat her and put her in a shorter style that would be easier for her mom to maintain.
Standard Poodle Lamb Trim
This lovely lady is Paloma and she’s in a lamb trim. When I saw her in the kennel I did a double take and knew I recognized her. When I pulled her out I immediately noticed the tiny patch of dark straight hair on her shoulder (picture below). This was a rather undisciplined poodle I […]
West Highland White Terriers (Westies) transformed
These two westies came in yesterday, black, matted, and in desperate need of a good clean up. Right before I left petsmart Rayne taught me the secret of poufy westie heads (as opposed to the rounded yet flat teddybear heads so many stylists, myself included, are inclined to do.) The secret is to do it […]
