Faces of Two Worlds
Guzal Adekoje
Knowing how to groom the heads to the breed standard is crucial for a pet groomer. In the everyday pet grooming world, we often modify breed standard grooming to a shorter length, except for the face. Pet owners often ask to groom the head to the breed standard. No wonder—it is the head that gives the first impression and distinguishes one breed from another. In this seminar you’ll learn how to groom two different heads of two different breeds. Guzal will demonstrate her grooming techniques on the Kerry Blue Terrier head and compare it to other brick-shaped faces like a Schnauzer or Airedale Terrier. She will also demonstrate how to create a perfect round head of a Bichon with a pair of scissors!
