Panda Border Collie
This little girl only had her face, ears and paws done, as she wasn’t use to coloring. I love her!
Yet another Japanese Face attempt…
I need some tips… what am I missing here? What makes this an American teddybear head and not a Japanese-style face? I brought in the sides of the face at the eye corners with thinning shears, more than you would with a Schnauzer, making an hourglass shape. I scissored his topknot and muzzle round, fluffing […]
Attempting a Pink Fade Upgrade on a Retro Lamb trim
This client’s mom LOVES color and gets something new at every groom. With Halloween coming, I gave her the link to Starwood Center, the Grooming Academy in Thailand (link is on the right) and told her to pick something to try. I’m excited to have this kind of client, it makes grooming fun. Now, for […]
Spiderman: Now in 3d!
What a day. I’m beat. I somehow managed to pull off a Spiderman Extreme Makeover for my boss’ friends, who will be throwing their kid a themed birthday party on sunday. I used a 5 on her body and a 7 on the red belt. I left a circle of fluff in the center of […]
An alternative face for Schnauzers with eyebrow cowlicks!
I love this schnauzer’s eyebrows! She has cowlicks on both that cause them to grow out sideways, and no amount of product or blowdrying will make them face forward. So mom has me thinning shear them quite short and leave just enough to have a shape to them. She’s adorable!
Final moments as a Panda…
Bo has been growing out since his last Panda cut and color and was at a record length… about 5 inches. I finally cut him down today, using a laube 0 clipped comb. i also gave him tassel ears. most of the black came out, leaving him with tan-ish boots. I’ll take a pic later, […]
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 […]
Poodle/Pomeranian cross with pink ears and slight bells!
I’m getting better at these japanese-style bell legs!
