We work with moving animals and sharp tools, so ensuring we have great lighting at our grooming table is a must. Unfortunately, not all workplaces are equipped with optimal lighting options, leaving us grooming with parts of the animal poorly lit. The inability to clearly see what we are working on can lead to a poor finish at best and injuries to the pet at worst. Inadequate light also contributes to eye strain on the stylist's part, and who has time for that?
Look through most groomers' toolboxes, and you will find that they use regular shears and thinning, blending, and chunking (or texturizing) shears. Each of these tools performs differently and is used to achieve unique results.
