Hmm, that's a toughie. I would say that if you are not ready, then wait. If you are nervous that it will not turn out the way you want you could stay with her at the groomers and watch. My groomer is always happy to let me stay when Louie is being cut, that way I can make sure he is cut the way I want and he is not mistreated. Also, taking a picture of what you want will help. But if you really aren't ready, then wait.
