Actually, this cuts really cute too. Maybe next time I'll stick a post-it to her head that says "don't trim my bangs". ha ha

This reminded me of something kinda funny. I work in a grooming salon and my boss has a customer with a standard poodle that she brings in for haircuts. She won't let us wash it because she doesn't want him to have to be there too long or maybe she's a cheapskate and wants a cheaper haircut, I'm not sure. Anyway she brings him in and he's dirty and matted so my boss brushes him out and trims him. Well apparently the poodle has some warts or moles on his back that were irritated after a previous haircut, I am assumming from the brushing. Anyway the lady shows up with this black standard poodle with post it notes stuck to his back and tells my boss "last time you cut his moles with the trimmer so be more careful this time and don't cut the moles. I've marked them with the post it notes." My boss, who doesn't really take criticism very well, tells her that the clipper wouldn't cut the moles and if anything the brush probably irritated them. So the lady leaves and my boss proceeds to brush out the poodle and give him his haircut. The funny part is she cut around the post it notes and left all these little patches long where the post it notes were and when the lady returned she brought out the dog and handed him over to his owner and said "here he is and I didn't cut his moles". Not very professional but it was really funny. Apparently the lady wasn't too annoyed because she continues to bring him in.
Anyway, I agree it would be good to somehow make sure they don't cut her bangs. Maybe next time when you drop her off you could ask who will be working on her today and speak to that person directly. I think most errors in grooming salons are probably info not being passed on from the person that takes in the dog to the groomer. Maybe if you wait until her bangs are long enough to put up you could attach a ribbon with a note!
