Hey guys! My name is Allison and I’m a groomer just like you. I’m here trying to make our lives easier and creating a gateway for all your questions in this industry ! Make sure you follow me on Instagram @absebastiangroomer and patreon for more educational and grooming content @absebastiangroomer
Well you were certainly helpful to me,as I am new to grooming my standard myself. I had one before that died of bloat and was only 4 years old. The best dog I ever had for sure. The dog actually understood me and was able to make me laugh when I wasn’t in the mood. So my new puppy is going to be groomed by me, instead of every six weeks of taking him to a groomer and groomers are so busy that if something comes up and I can’t make my appointment, I’ve been told they don’t have another opening for two or three weeks from now. I’ve actually found other groomers because I always took him in completely cleaned up and brushed so they wouldn’t have to brush him hard and fast. I took good care of him because he was really my best friend. I also tipped very well. But it didn’t mean anything. So I’m learning all I can and bought everything from table to clipper oil. My five piece scissor set will be here today or tomorrow. I feel like those little pieces of crap scissors that come with the clippers are not what it will be like compared to the nice curved 8” precision set I’ve been missing out on. Thank you for sharing your expertise and knowledge with me. I’m going to practice what you taught me. ✌️👍🇺🇸
Thanks for the sound test. Little old, but reviews all over say the Wahl KM are quieter than the competition. Brushless motors are in fact quieter in operation as well. I'm not a pro, but want something that will last me years and take care of these 2 long haired cats I said I'd never own, dogs, and horses on occasion. KM10 seems like the price/value winner to me. It's a lot for a guy who won't be doing this for money, but buy once, cry once, and learning to do it the right way saves a lot more money in the long run. I'll be springing for the corded KM10.
So I have a boxer mix, I was told possibly mixed with Mastiff. Anyway she is short hair but boy oh boy does she shed a lot. I first purchased the furminator which really does amazing, but I’m wondering about how this would work, as I sometimes worry about the tines on the furminator hurting. I must say though it does get the hair out and it almost seems never ending because I can brush and brush and the hair keeps coming. I also have a pure boxer and while she does shed, it’s very tiny amounts.
Thank you so much! You have a fantastic ability to explain things clearly. I've been grooming my Shih Tzu for five years now and all this time I've been holding my scissors wrong and of course getting a less than satisfactory result. Annie's getting a bath as soon as I turn this off! I can hardly wait to practice. My only disappointment is that I see you provided this video three years ago. Think how fabulous a haircut Annie would be getting today if I'd seen it then! I'm going to subscribe. Undoubtedly there are lots more tips that will improve my skills.
Can someone tell me the exact measurement of the fabric? I cut 1 x 1 yard and folded it in half but it does not make any sense, I have much more fabric to cut off than in the video. Isnt the fabric square from start?
I was curious to what you think regards how they groom a dog. My boss has the Andis one that you just showed and she always gets more coat off with that clipper than the Wahl or Heineger.
You scissor legs, that in itself is a specialty. So many grooming shops say don't do that because it takes more time. I work in a grooming shop as a bather and pt groomer. Doing ft grooming in a shop that is not mine, I would not survive. I'm there for the practice and eventually want my own place. I also completed my grooming school this past December. I love to grow and learn more.
I love Hydra products. You recommended the De-matting and Finishing Spray which I love, can you recommend a light scented cologne from Hydra which is not fruity? Thanks in advance
The price raising method. What do you say if they ask why you are keep raising? Whatbif they sk if it's for everyone or just them? They could talk with your other clients.
Very pretty salon its very clean looking and not very cluttered its nice and the colors of everything go well together definitely one of the prettier dog salons ive seen
Redip blade solution is good stuff, but it is actually more of a blade cleaner than a lubricant or oil, so I am pretty sure you still need clipper oil. I love the way it makes those hair bunches fall out.
Carbon brushes literally brush the motor causing friction, and thus cause heat and loss of energy to heat and friction. Brushless drills and power tools are all the rage these days: you get more power per weight. With dog grooming, however, brushless means the blade will probably stay cool longer since the whole brushless device runs cooler, and this is even more of an advantage in clippers than say in a drill. Five speeds seem unnecessary to me, but Andis tops at 4500 spm compared to Wahls 3700 spm, which sounds nice, but torque, which is speed under pressure, is more important than bare speed and Wahl claims to have speed adjustment under work load, so your Wahl clippers shouldn't fall below 3700 spm even when working hard, so that probably makes them about the same except that you don't have worry about adjusting your speed for the load with Wahl and you don't need 5 speed with the Wahl. Thanks for rounding out my theoretical research with a real review. Now you just have to find a Heiniger to borrow/loan trade with someone.
Thank you for your video, good video, in the UK the Wahl is called km cordless only comes with 12 month warranty. Km 10 has the cable in UK. Both have the same brushless motor.
