A good bathing and drying job is easily 50% of a great groom and 100% of many! The bathing room has been the starting point for every successful stylist and the active salon needs to pay more attention to this importance position. With an emphasis of safety and efficiency, Teri guides this fun and informative all-day seminar through an average day in a busy salon. Safe handling practices and a keen focus on time-saving tips and techniques will help save time and improve the finished work.
This seminar is a real eye-opener for the “groomer technician” as well as a lesson in efficiency for the seasoned salon owner.
From check in to check out. Integrating a salons’ bathing staff into the check-in and prep process gives them responsibilities that will make a busy salon hum like a well oiled machine.
Tools of the trade and their proper and efficient use. Teri will demonstrate the efficient use (and alternative uses) of some common (and uncommon) tools. Safety restraints and their alternatives will be an area of focus. Tasks, such as nail trimming, ear cleaning and brushing will be discussed and made easy. Safety and comfort of the pet is always emphasized.
Structure – What’s under the hair? Knowing how a pet is built will help answer many questions, like “Why doesn’t this dog stand?”
Dematting: It’s everybody’s problem! Everyone has a technique or tool that works well for them but you can save time, aggravation and money with a few easily applied techniques. Equipment and its proper use as well as handling the owner of a matted pet will be discussed.
Shampoos, Conditioners and Sprays. Which one is the best? Teri will take a “groomers-eye” look at the bubbles. Why do they work and how can we get the best out of the bottles?
Bathing: It’s more than just getting them wet Quick, efficient bathing and proper application of the products you use can make all the difference in the “feel” of that coat at the end of the groom.
Drying: The finishing touch. Teri will discuss the proper use of the equipment as well as different drying techniques. Dry coats quicker and learn how to get that final “oomph” on the coat to help you get a better scissor finish.
Sue and Jay’s list of accomplishments are stunning, with multiple Best in Show and Groomer of the Year awards, receiving accolades for their work literally around the world. Both also have been bestowed with industry “Congeniality” awards, which helps explain why they are so vested in helping others raise the bar with their own skills. They really want to help people that want to learn, and their in-person seminars are regularly sold out with those that do.
