Soooo ANGRY with groomer - Page 4 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

RMKC · 11-07-2007, 01:02 PM

aah she has an adorable face, dont feel alone , my new groomer cut mine all off too

it will grow back ! Have to say it is awsome to not have to brush them. And it gave me a good excuse to buy nightys

I can understand your being upset. Who wouldn't be? Groomer's at times
just don't listen. She looked beautiful before and she still looks beautiful.
It is a shame the weather is getting colder. This couldn't happen in the
summer, huh? Maybe jammies will keep her warm until her coat starts
coming in again. That face is the cutest. She looks very proud of her
new do.

Awe she looks like a little muffin.

RONLYNN · 11-07-2007, 01:45 PM

She is so cute but WOW she looks like a completely different dog. I've always kept Teddi shorter but one time she had to be shaved too and I freaked! I'll attach pics so you don't feel so bad!

MyTrixie143 · 11-07-2007, 01:58 PM

I would have been very upset too. Especially since it takes the hair on the face the longest time to grow.

But she is still so adorable!! She looks like a little puppy again, what a sweetie!!

Josie's Mom · 11-07-2007, 02:01 PM

Awww...don't feel bad. I had to go through this twice.

Once with Josie and just recently with Jojo

Josie's back to normal & Jojo's hair is actually growing pretty darn fast.

She looks so adorable. The cuteness is all in the eyes.

I have to say....she looks PRECIOUS both ways...it would have a been a nice summer cut...she will be chilly for a while...but geez is she ever cute!!

i think the groomer was just being LAZY! she should have called before doing that to her wow

Duke's mom · 11-07-2007, 03:22 PM

I had the same thing happen to Duke when he had his summer cut. I asked them to shave his body, but to leave his face alone. Well, imagine my surprise when I went to pick him up and his entire face was shaved short as well. I was furious! He looked like a Chihuahua -- not that I have anything against Chihuahua's, but I just was not expecting him to look like that.

As with any bad haircut that we would get, it is taking FOREVER for Duke's face to fill back in.

OMG - I know these cuts aren't what you guys were expecting, and I know they aren't the typical Yorkie look. But OMG - I just want to squeeze 'em and keep 'em warm, they're so darling!! Teddi is adorable too! MMMMUUUWWWWAAAAHHHH!! kiss kiss!

Guys, please! You're breaking my heart!!!
I am dog groomer and I do cringe when I hear that people can't talk to groomer, groomers don't listen, etc....I DO!!!!

I will admit he did a bad job on the face, if she was so wiggly...hmmm, maybe she zigged and he zagged and it went shorter then he wnated??? But still not a good job.

Search around for a groomer, on that goes to seminars (if they look at you like you have 3 heads back away slowly...), one with a portfoilo or pics on the wall of dogs they groomed.

On super wiggly little ones I like to use only thinning shears, if we zig and zag and I snip in a wrong area easier to blend...or I like using my Wahl metal combs to get a nice face length and then use my thinners to soften the edges to look natural.

Search and look hard and expect to pay good money for great service! There are some really wonderful groomers out there who do care if the owner is happy. I am known to call owners if I am unsure if they want ears tipped or not, etc. I want my customers to be HAPPY...happy customers come back

She is still really cute!!

crb · 11-07-2007, 05:26 PM

I would've been mad too...but oh, she is still such a cutie pie!! I'm surprised her dog tags don't weigh her down. LOL

Tinker'sMommy · 11-07-2007, 05:34 PM

She is still looks like a little doll, I love her face, but you have everyright to be mad..........I had a bad expenrience once with my poor maltese, they did a really bad job on him, never took him back to that groomer for sure

SANDYSAND · 11-07-2007, 05:42 PM

She's still a doll

And I really dont blame you for being upset, the possitive side: Her hair is going to grow back

Thanks for the words of advice...
Wanna move to Oklahoma????

I will say Thank you for providing such a great service to your clients. I wish mine would have taken the time to call me and talk to me.
In the meantime I am just setting here waiting for her hair to grow back...
