I took Maggie to the groomer last Friday (her first visit). She looks great. Before the trip, my husband kept calling her, his little Punk Rocker. She had a major case of the sprigglies. So there is hope afterall.

That was Angel's first time too. She didn't get so lucky though. It's like they stuck her in a blender. ICK

1st pic - Chanel will be so embarrassed by me posting this - but THIS is a bad haircut !

2nd pic....check out Cheri's ears...face and nose - THESE haircuts almost made me cry after I stopped laughing - it was worse than the picture shows.

these pics are from 2 DIFFERENT groomers too - so you're not alone.

HeatherHamptons · 06-26-2005, 06:27 AM

Well the first one kinda looks like angel's cut. Except she doesnt even have that much hair on her face.

Her body hair is just as short and thin, HOWEVER, it's worse because she has a doggy mullet lol. The hair is short on top but long at the bottom.

How can a groomer possibly thin this looks good? Or do they not care?

IMO - they just cut to get paid.

There's nothing you can do to make Chanel look funny. She kind of has the lion thing going on though! I'm kind of speechless about the 2nd picture.

HeatherHamptons · 06-26-2005, 06:33 AM

I cant argue with you there. If they were smart they would realize that doing a good job means REPEAT customers. You keep screwing people over and you'll end up with no customers at all, which in turn means no money, and then bankruptcy.

So, let them be as moronic as they want to. It will come back to kick them in the butt one day, im sure of it.

Until then, im gonna see about doing it myself. I cant POSSIBLY make it any worse then they did. So once it grows out, I guess im gonna try.

Can you take her back and tell them to fix her up as best they could? I know I wouldn't have paid them one cent! I might have even taken the clippers to the groomers head and given her a mullet! I really feel bad because I would have cried. That's why I'm learning to groom him myself. I keep reading about the groomers from hell stories and it scares me!

lol...You should have seen ME when I saw her ..I was in SHOCK and asked if this was even my baby - I had specifically said NO FACE CUTTING - more than once.

She was just a baby and hardly had hair to begin with - they chopped it up so bad I told the lady a 3 year old could do a better job...after leaving I remember thinking I Just PAID them for this ?

HeatherHamptons · 06-26-2005, 06:36 AM

I so wish I could

It's been 9 weeks. Lord knows they would say "we didn't do that".

I can tell you though, I learned my lesson. Never, EVER will I take my babies there again!

Id rather pay twice as much and have it done right, then spend $50 and have them "F" it up!

Believe me, I wouldnt mind going back there just so I could beat them with their own shoes!

Actually - I remember laughing and being upset but not crying - I just knew it will grow but it IS why I do them myself now....if I make a mistake - I can cuss out myself ...and it's far less stressful on all 3 of us.

I can so understandw here you're coming from. They are BUTCHERS not groomers! Any idiot can take scissors and chop the babies hair off. if that's all I cared about I would have let my daughter cut Angel's hair. Chances are it would have looked better too........and she's 5 lol

It is so shocking to see how much Maggie looks like Cheri, when Cheri was younger. I can only hope that Maggie's hair will turn out as pretty as Cheri's.

HeatherHamptons · 06-26-2005, 06:39 AM

Well then, can you teach me how to do it so my babies can have the cut your babies have?

Thank you ! that was so sweet - here's Cheri after ME grooming her for the last 5 months...

For anyone thinking of grooming themselves - It's easier than you think - no leaving your baby - and no Butcher jobs like Heather just had and the pics I posted - It's something I do in steps - just cut a little here - a little there and usually you have a happy yorkie and no pissed off mom !

IF you DO have a booboo cutting - you just don't feel as frustrated and can always put a hat on them !
