Grrrrr...... I think you should have cut her ponytail too!

Seriously I really thought about it, expecially when she was patronizing me, I hate that more then anything.... when you are telling her OMG what did you do and she keeps saying well she looks cute!! I am furious expecially when my mother just stopped in and has NO idea about yorkies or thier hair cuts and she said , WHAT DID THAT LADY DO , OMG SHE LOOKS HORRIBLE.. Ill take some pics so you all can see how she shaved above her eyes... she now looks like a drowed rat!

I feel so bad for you. I swear my DH has no problem telling people when they have REALLY screwed up, especially when they don't even have a clue! Want him to make a call.....??? (rolling sleeves up)...

nanahas3 · 06-12-2009, 09:19 AM

I do not understand why they can't listen to people and if they have questions ask first before cutting. I have been doing Laddy's grooming since we got him but have been thinking about a groomer until I read this lol. I really thought about taking him and Lolita to a friend who has been showing me some on grooming but my daughter took her silky there and was pretty upset she said she told her to barely trim and shape and do a sani-trim. Everything looked good except....she shaved little Petey's entire tummy

Of course doing that made his skirt look very thin. I think I will just keep learning and keep grooming at home.

What a bummer! At least it will grow back and isn't permanent...I'd be mad too! Sorry...

Ksena's hair always looks like that

it will grow back and she'll be as cute as always....it's not permanent!!!

First off, there is NO excuse for this crap and I would demand a refund. Never ever pay up front for a "service" and only pay when satisfied!
Then, absolutely cut that *&^%$#%^& pony tail off!!! Then say, "Oh damn, I was mistaken. I thought you'd look cute but you don't...and never did!"

I can't believe the number of groomer horror stories. I'll never take Curly to a "pro". This is crazy and they think it's acceptable???

I know how pissed you are and I hate it for both of you.

I was debating on finding a groomer for Lucy, but now I think I will just invest in clippers, table and stuff and do it myself. DH would probably have a fit if Lucy ended up looking like she did the first and only time we took her to be groomed. She looked ridiculous and he felt bad for insisting she needed a "trim".

My husband used to get mad when Ernie was cut too short...funny, you'd think the men wouldn't care...

rayedelsol · 06-12-2009, 11:38 AM

OMG I can't imagine how heartbroken you were to see her like that! I would have been furious! If she works for a company and isn't independent I would call them and tell them as many curse words as you can too! I know it is no comfort, but at least the hair will grow back and we aren't talking about irreversible surgery or something.

In the mean time, we will all sit back and fantasize about you chopping off the horrible groomer's ponytail!!!

cashsmommy · 06-12-2009, 11:57 AM

aww i feel bad for the pooch,

when a groomer shaved cash, not what i wanted, i was pissed and I swear cash understood, he got all shy and sad looking, make shure to give ur fur butt hugs and kisses so she knows its not her fault.

maggiemommy · 06-12-2009, 12:01 PM

oh my i would be mad to. at ciaras last grooming the lady cut her bangs i was like why would you do that and cut the hair between her eyes as short as possible i can not wait for it to all grow out

mscat · 06-12-2009, 01:51 PM

That was really bad, what the groomer did to your baby! I'd be pissed off too! My Suzi had to be shave down several months ago, and her hair is still not long enough for a topknot. It's almost there though! The thing is , that it is the stagewhere her hair hangs down , however not yet long enough.
I feel for you. i'd definately would have been telling off that groomer

yorkiepaws · 06-12-2009, 01:58 PM

I cut Laya's top knot off because she would take it down several time a day. It's just easier for us, but about every 3 months it has grown enough to put in a bow. I would say in 6 months you will probably be close to where you were. So sorry your groomer sucked. Next time insist on staying! If they say no, get another groomer. It's your money and you have the right to do so.

Zanders' mom · 06-12-2009, 02:48 PM

uuuughh, what a terrible groomer, geeeezz. It is so tough to find someone who is goooooddd. I have told the person myself and left written my instructions on paper, they still get it wrong. I did find a very nice lady and now if they need a trim I go to her. Hopefully you will find someone too or purchase a dvd that shows how to clip the hair. Who knows, you may discover a talent you did not know about

. Grow hair, grroooowww.
