Puppy's First Haircut Gone Bad!!! Before & After - Mommy's so upset! 3 Attachment(s) My baby Darwin went in for his very first grooming today with a groomer in town that everyone raves about. I specifically spoke with her about giving him a "trim" and keeping his face round and full, I like his beardy puppy look. I also wanted his hair on his body to be trimmed, not shaved. I picked him up at 5pm today absolutely horrified, he has the haircut of a schnauzer on his face, and his little body is completely shaved. I paid $53 for her to botch his pretty puppy fur, and now I'm afriad he'll never grow his puppy hairdo back ever again b/c she cut the hair around his eyes and his nose even though I told her not to. I am so upset, but I'm trying not to let him see me upset b/c he is still so loveable nontheless, and there's nothing I can do about it now, but do you think he'll ever look the same again? Should I take him back to her to have her fix his face? I'm so sad about my baby's haircut, what do you do when a groomer doesn't follow your instructions? The first pic is his before, and the other 2 are after the botched cut. |
So sorry to hear about his hair cut..when it happened to me I refused to pay for the grooming...the last question they asked me was "Do you want them trimmed?" I replied no and came back to find two butchered dogs...I only knew they were mine because they were happy to see me! I paid by check and then when I was in the car I really noticed the horrible job they did and I stopped payment on my check and called the place... and told them I wa not paying for the horrible job they did.... |
Oh gosh.. I'm sorry you weren't happy with it but I think he looks absolutly ADORABLE!!! Although I'm partial to shorter haircuts on Yorkies. |
Did your baby's hair grow back into its original shape? I've heard that once you start trimming the hair around the nose and eyes, you constantly have to keep it up. Will he ever have his "beard" look again? I don't know if I should stop payment on the check, she didn't do a bad job, she just didn't give him the cut I had asked for. I am definitely not going back that's for sure. I feel like a chain petstore would've done a better job for 1/2 the price. |
AWWWWW - he still looks adorable - and I really love his little face (both before and after) Don't worry - their hair grows back pretty quickly!! :p :p It's always a shock to see them after they've been groomed - which is why I starting grooming Sadie myself. |
I am so sorry you had to deal with a cut that you didn't want. One of the members here, suggested taking in a picture of the way you want it done. That way, you will both be on the same page. There are a lot of wonderful groomers out there. I don't now how many, but I believe we have some on here at YT. Maybe you could ask them for their opinion on what happened. I am learning to trim my own. Then I know they are treated well and cared for like I want them to be. Am I perfect at this? Nope.. I am still learning. But I am getting better. Your baby is adorable. I love his little face. He is cute in his after pictures also. Sorry this happened to you. |
When do they listen to what you want? It seems you can give instructions they will write it down and then do they ever go back and look at it? I just decided not to use groomers anymore due to that issue. I wouldn't want to take them back and give them another chance. I would let it grow out again if you want it that way. It will grow again it just takes awhile and the pain of working with that shorter hair around the eyes and nose area. But at least your dog looks good it wasn't a bad hair cut. |
Awww... :aimeeyorkI think he's adorable, but you should have gotten what you asked for... |
Thanks everyone for making me feel a little better. I know he is still adorable no matter what his hair looks like, I'm just still in shock I think. This whole experience really makes me want to do at home grooming. I just don't know if I'd be any good at it. I thought a professional would be better than me, but if she's going to mess him up anyway, I'd rather his hairdo be messed up b/c of my own fault. I have little clippers, but don't know if they're big enough to clip his body. How do you scissor cut their face? Do your babies hold still when you hold up shears to their cute faces? |
I am also sorry you didn't get the cut you wanted. I think he looks very handsome. I am partial though, because I like Taz cut like that. |
I do my lil at home....mainly cuz I dont' want to worry about what the groomer will do to her....I used to do hair, and think that working on another's hair, weather it be a dog or human....the person in charge of the razor/scissors has a mind of their own.....I have called around to a few groomers and told them that I want to be there with them when they groom my baby...and so far none have agreed to that...soooooooo till I can be there..supervising...I will to it at home... |

Ok you might not want to hear this, but he looks FABULOUS! I think she did a GREAT job! Im sorry you don't like it. Is this his first cut? When my boys first came back from their first groom, I was in SHOCK! I felt the same way soooo upset that they looked like little men, all grown up and not puppies anymore.... bbbuuuttt aaahhh they do grow up! :) He looks so handsome! :) |
Oh...I think he looks good! |
