I would look into a new groomer. I never have any issues with my groomer when I tell them to keep the top knot. They even groom Mia to have the top knot in so when I pick her up, they already have it up with a nice little bow in it.
Growing out a top knot feels like it takes forevvvver. When Mia got her first groom, she luckily had enough for them to do a little baby top knot so don't let them make you think it cannot be done. I am pretty lax when it comes to how I want them cut so my groomer is usually the one to throw out what she can do and what she thinks should be done before she starts. I ended up having to get Mia all shaved last time I went but the one demand I had was to keep the top knot, otherwise, I would not be able to tell Geno and Mia apart. They complied and would have immediately told me when I dropped them off if they would be able to salvage it or not, which they did.
This is the kind of service you should expect from a groomer, not one where they don't even listen to what you have to say. It's your dog. You have to look at her every day, not them haha |
