    Hand stripping

    Traditional hand stripping keeps the texture and colour of wire coats, instead of quicker methods that dull them. Ask if it suits your breed.

      Longer styles need brushing right down to the skin. If the coat is matted on the day, a shorter, kinder cut may be needed. We’ll always talk it through first.

      Lengths are what’s left on the coat after the groom. Ears, eyes, paw pads and hygiene areas are always tidied.
