Here Dave will get to the heart of understanding how conditioners work, explaining their differences, and providing helpful resources to identify what conditioners one needs in their salon’s arsenal.

A Blank Canvas: Great Grooming Starts with the Prep
Jonathan David
Every great work of art starts as a blank canvas, and every great grooming starts with a well-prepped dog. The brushing, bathing, fluffing, and prepping process, as well as the types of products you use, play a crucial role in a well-groomed, flawless finish. Improperly prepped dogs will result in a grooming that falls apart shortly after they go home and an unhappy customer. Jonathan will talk about the proper steps often overlooked as well as give tips on drying to achieve a clean, properly fluffed coat to give a great cut with a lasting look. Learn how to give that edge that sets you apart from your competitors. This is a great seminar for your employees!
