Pet grooming professionals cannot seem to get enough of this style. Asian Fusion.
What is Asian Fusion?
Basically – it is a whimsical grooming style inspired by cartoon characters. Sometimes it can be extreme – to a point it is not practical for the everyday pet owner.
However – when done in a modified version – it can be very practical. Even for active, outdoor pets. And simple to do too! Plus, the look is super cute.
Megan VandenBerg is an award-winning Certified Master Groomer. She is one of the top producing stylists at Whiskers Resort & Pet Spa, owned by L2GD Founder, Melissa Verplank.
In this lesson, Megan is working on an active, rough and tumble Kerry Blue Terrier. The owner loves the breed – but not all the hair.
