Re: Before and Afters??? Just for fun! :D

Hi!
This is my puppy, Pixel. Her first real hair cut. How exciting it was to see her so smooth and tidied up for the first time.

Re: Before and Afters??? Just for fun! :D

I wish some of you groomers lived out my way. I have a hard time finding people who do a really good job! Ya'll do great work!

And I just love how dogs feel so much better after they are all done. My shitzu always prances around when we get home like look at me, i look good!

Re: Before and Afters??? Just for fun! :D

Just trying to keep this thread alive, as I think this is a great thread. Here's a few more.

Here's a mini poodle, only the after, cause I forgot to take a before. A kitty in the process of having his "pelt" removed. An older golden girl. She gets a "teddy bear" trim, but she is very thick coated, so the finish is not great. She will look better a week after the groom. lol And a VERY wiggly before/after bichon in a pet trim...It was all I could do to get any pictures of this boy..he was way too happy for pictures.

And here's one more. Not a haircut I am proud of, and this poor girl is not the best built girl, but she is a sweetie, and doesn't come in often enough, so the owners just want her shaved down. She is just over a year old now.

Re: Before and Afters??? Just for fun! :D

didn't get a before, but this was this guy's first cut and he was sooooooooooooooooo good! i wish i could have left him with his little furnishings, but dad wanted him all one length.


there wasn't much change for this guy before and after cause he's mostly just a brush out, but i see this guy every 5 weeks on the dot


my favorite groom ever. it was so much fun


sorry i don't have any before pictures. i ALWAYS forget before pictures. lol

Re: Before and Afters??? Just for fun! :D

Graco-

I want wondering what blade or CC that you used for the Golden. I have two Goldens and sometimes I think it would be great to trim them down. I have to shave my male in a #7 because he has really bad allergies and it's the only thing that keeps him from breaking out, but my female I think would look cute in a teddy bear trim! Just wondering what you did to achieve that look, she's not super thick coated either, so she would probably smooth out fairly well.

THanks, Karrie

Goldenmnm, I used a Wahl Stainless Attachment, number 0, (bright yellow color tab) over a Wahl 30blade with a Taxi Vac (vacuum system.)You could use any of the sizes though, depending on the length you want. I find the ) and shorter looks better than the longer ones though. If you don't have the vacuum, you could use a #2 or blue attachment and get about the same length.

Trying to bring this thread back to life. This is Maggie, an adorable little shihtzu with a "skirt" and fuller legs per her owners request.

Re: Before and Afters??? Just for fun! :D

Great pics all...I keep forgetting to add more pics...what with the loss of my Sophie not too long ago, I have an excuse right? Anyway...let's try to dig out some for you all!

Be right back!

Sirius...
Before his first 'fluffy leg' trim...


After

I've since taken his face off with a 40 blade, as this was done about 3 weeks ago...

A cute one of the cat who just couldn't resist getting in the pics!

Re: Before and Afters??? Just for fun! :D

Two of my favorite clients...These guys come in every 6 weeks...when I started grooming them their beards were horribly overgrown, and had soooo much disgusting stains in them, but they are much better now because I actually trim them (the other groomers didn't take anything off the beards ever...and I know owners like them long, but untrimmed or tidied, to me, is not a complete finish, especially when they still look 'dirty'...there are tricks to getting rid of that excess hair, without making it look bad!) Anyway, the dogs...only afters this time though...next time I'll get more pics! I love grooming these two! Oh, these are Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers, btw!




Only a head shot of the second guy

What you don't want your dog to look like before getting him groomed...




After...a much happier, and more comfortable canine!
