“Natural Cuts”
Some owners prefer a more natural groom -often I’m asked for ‘scruffy’ but we don’t use that word around here 🤫
Natural cuts are perfect for dogs like Gus as he has a wire texture to his coat and it isn’t too curly, but it does get long and knotty. While the whole idea of the natural look is to eliminate that uniformed, I’ve-just-walked-out-of-the-groomers look, it can actually be harder to achieve. We need to know just the right amount to take off and where from, to achieve a finish that makes Gus look like he was “just born with it!”
In some ways we are aiming for uneven - which goes against pretty much everything in the grooming book of law! 🤣👌🏼
✂️ Gus had has a mixture of blue and peach comb attachments, a number 30 blade (very short) for his hygiene areas and sc******ng to his face and feet.
🐑 ⚠️ please don’t come at me with your curly coated doodles asking for this - they are doomed to a life of teddy bear 🧸 cuts and uniformed-ness thanks to their curls!! That’s if you brush… if not it’s 7f all over sadly!
