Moving Over To Mobile
Mobile pet grooming is quickly becoming a popular option for today’s pet stylists. Many groomers are closing their storefronts and taking the show on the road. Jonathan made this very move himself and in this session, he will share his personal experiences making the move from a salon business model to a mobile business model. Jonathan will share the mistakes he made as well as share what he has found to be beneficial along the way.
Doing the Difficult Client Dance
That “certain” client’s car pulls into the parking lot and you head for the back room, hoping someone else will deal with them. Then you realize that this is a one-person business and you own it! You must deal with “that person” again! You try to explain salon policy and protocol, but they just don’t get it. Who is harder to handle – the dog or the owner!?!? Teri brings “client training 101” to the forefront in this lecture that is peppered with hints (and humor) on making it work while preserving your dignity (as well as sanity). A good primer to avoid client-induced burnout.
Ready, Set, Go – Bathe, Prep, Dry!
The bathing room is the starting point for every successful pet stylist. With an emphasis on safety and efficiency, Teri guides this fun and informative 6-hour seminar through an average day in a busy salon. Learn how safe handling practices and time-saving tips will improve the finished work and save time. This session will include the efficient use of tools, safety restraints and tasks such as nail trimming, ear cleaning and brushing while focusing on the safety and comfort of the pet. Teri will discuss quick and efficient bathing and also take a “groomer’s-eye” look at the proper application of shampoos, conditioners, and sprays and why they work. Teri will discuss different drying techniques to help you get a better scissor finish. This seminar is a real eye-opener for the groomer technician as well as a lesson in efficiency for the seasoned salon owner.
