Whenever Angela can find a free moment, she’s testing new creative products. Angela is always discovering new ways to bring safe and fun color options to pets. Many of them are super easy to apply, like the three items we get to feature in this lesson!
In Part 1, Angela demonstrates how to work with shimmer gel. This is a new temporary product that washes out easily yet won’t easily rub off after it’s been applied. Angela shows you how easy it is to work with using stencils and free-hand application. She also gives super advice on how to introduce it to your clientele.
Next, she works with colored hair crayons. These are so easy to work with, they are now her ‘go-to’ coloring tool for quick and easy applications.
Finally, Angela shows that false eyelashes aren’t just for humans. They require a few tricks to make them safe AND stay in place! Angela shows you how to apply this fun accessory to your finished grooming product. It doesn’t matter what type of dog – big and small – they look charming on them all!

- which everyday item removes shimmer gel when added to the shampoo.
- how to market add on color options to your pet clientele.
- why this product has become the shop favorite.
- what happens when the next-door vet office has too many “office cats.”
