Don't be afraid to go to a groomer. Take a picture with you. And, if the cut isn't what you wanted, go over your concerns with the groomer before you leave.
Please be prepared (just like all of us) ---your puppy's haircut will probably be a little shorter than you might want it when you first have it done. And - it will last longer this way. My puppy's hair grows very fast!
If after a couple of visits, you and your groomer can't get together on what you want - try another groomer.
If you're not interested in grooming your dog yourself - you might as well get out there and get started finding a groomer that you like. After all, you are going to have your little pup for a long long time. A couple "too-short" haircuts are going to be the end of the world.
PS: With my Bichon - he always looks a little better a couple weeks after he's groomed.......but before I know it - he needs to go back again. I've learned that his haircuts that are a little too short aren't so bad after all.
