There are so many options when it comes to grooming dogs. we ensure that your dog feels comfortable yet stylish and fresh, which why we use the technique of Hand Scissoring while grooming process. Although another option that is mostly used while trimming and cutting hairs of dogs is Ordinary clippers, our professional groomers choose the technique of hand scissoring to ensure that the dog's coat is tangle-free and without any mats.

The Hand Scissoring technique is the most preferred method by our groomers even though it is time-consuming, in the end, it gives a much nicer and smoother finish compare using an ordinary clipper work giving us an opportunity to customize the style according to client requirements as we are doing it manually. The Hand Scissoring method gives better control to style a dog and do profile correction and balancing your dog. i.e, a round head, around teddy bear round muzzle, want a straight leg but dog's profile has a turned out leg. The hand scissoring technique can be used on all lengths and all coat texture hair. The trim will also last much longer if you master the art of hand scissoring.

On the other hand, using ordinary clippers for grooming of dogs can be a bit difficult. Primarily some dogs are very sensitive to sound and the sound of the clipper makes because of which dogs don't stay calm, might get aggressive and in that situation, using clippers can hurt them or can remove chunks of hair and can hence interrupt the grooming process. In fact, while grooming different breeds of dogs such as Bichon, Poodle, Yorkie, Shih Tzu, or Maltese clippers might work, but if you want to keep the hair longer with different hairstyles, using scissors is definitely the right choice.

For those natural hair coated dog (such as a Golden Retriever, border collie, collie, Husky, German Sheppard or Great Pyrenees), using the hand scissoring definitely give them a natural look after trimming.
