I am definitely not a professional, but I have been grooming my 2 toy poodles and pups from their first 2 litters for over 1 1/2 years... I taught myself how to do it by looking at pictures and reading "Poodle Clipping and Grooming" by Shirlee Kalstone. I bought the Oster Golden A5 clippers from Ebay, the #10, #5F, and #3 blades (from Petsmart and PetEdge), the shears (scissors) from Petsmart, slicker brush from walmart, a "Greyhound comb" from Walmart, and the basic pop-up grooming table from Ebay. For hair products, all I use is Minksheen Shampoo. I don't use all of this for my Yorkies, as I only trim their rear end, feet, and ears, and scissor trim their face.

Hope this helps!
