I tried this for the first time this weekend since I am going on vacation next week and have no time to take him I didnt want to leave him with hair in his eyes. I may have gone a little to close between his eyes (good thing he cant see it..lol) But the bangs came out just fine. I gave up after that. I do hair for a living but I think I will leave this to his groomer. He actually gets excited when he goes there. She is excellent with him. She will even give him kisses in between doing another dog
