Pictures of the trade

These are photographs of grooming — coats, towels, brushes and dogs at the end of a bath — chosen to show the work the way Bramble & Paw Pet Grooming does it: on the table, in the bath and at the dryer, one dog at a time.

The pictures

Three groomers at three grooming tables behind a salon window, one dog on each table.
Plate 01Three groomers, three tables, one dog on each. A dog is never left waiting on a table while its groomer finishes another, and the day is booked so that never has to happen.
A groomer scissoring a curly-coated dog standing on a grooming table in a busy salon.
Plate 02Scissor work on a curly coat. The shape is worked with the dog standing, and the clippings stay on the table until the dog is down.
A red brush drawn along the back of a grey and white cat lying on a patterned rug.
Plate 03A cat brushed out at home. The stroke is the one any long coat wants: short, with the lie of the hair, and finished before it is repeated.
An apricot standard poodle standing on a grooming table in a freshly scissored trim, clippings lying around its feet.
Plate 04A scissor finish a minute after the last cut. The clippings are still on the table because a coat is shaped with the dog standing and swept only once it is down.
A hand shower rinsing lather out of a German shepherd's soaked coat while a second hand works it through.
Plate 05The rinse, which takes longer than the wash. Shampoo left in a double coat is what itches a week later, so the water runs until it runs clear at the skin.
A white poodle in show trim on a black ground, the hair of its topknot held in pink wraps.
Plate 06Wraps on a show poodle's topknot. Hair kept that long is banded between shows so it grows without breaking, and it is a coat almost nobody keeps at home on purpose.
A Yorkshire terrier in a long show coat lying on a grooming table, its topknot tied and the length of the coat folded into paper wraps.
Plate 07A coat kept long enough to need wrapping, folded into papers between appointments. Length like this is maintained rather than cut back, and it is agreed before a blade is chosen.
A groomer blow-drying a small long-coated dog standing on a grooming table beside a window.
Plate 08A small long coat blown dry on the table with a brush working through it, so the coat dries lying flat and the dryer finishes the job rather than starting it.

Talk to the salon

A picture is not a plan for the coat

Describing the coat in a message gets a straight answer about which service fits and what it costs.

The column

A short note when the salon changes something

Holiday hours, a groomer joining or leaving, a price that moves. Two or three notes a year and nothing else.

The privacy notice explains what happens to the address.
