When a customer comes to you with a Golden Retriever, Rough Collie, Shetland Sheepdog, Australian Shepherd, Pomeranian, or other breed or mix with a similar coat, choosing a Silhouette Trim for their grooming session is often an excellent choice. A Silhouette Trim leaves the pet looking like a much neater, tidier version of themselves. Here is how to execute a lovely Silhouette Trim on the pets you groom.
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.
When it comes time to purchase grooming shears, the choices can be mind-boggling. There are various metals to choose from, different cutting edges, multiple blade lengths and widths, and even numerous handle styles, from offset to swivel, with or without finger rests, and more. The ability to become confused is real!
