How to choose a professional beautician?
The qualifications and levels of beauticians currently in the industry vary greatly. How to choose a suitable beautician to entrust your pet to is a question that needs to be considered. The following suggestions are provided for reference by parents:
1. Check whether the beauty shop provides a license or certificate for beauticians.
2. The first question you should ask should not be how long he has been in this industry, but how long he has been dealing with pets? Only by understanding the characteristics of various pets and what kind of repairs are needed can you have the qualities of a professional beautician.
3. Find out whether the beautician has been injured by a pet and what kind of pet has injured him. If he can't even conquer a pet with a good temper, then you have to doubt his business ability.
4. When you first meet, did the groomer seriously ask you about your pet's age, name, health, allergies, recent immunization status, and other special conditions? Also, did he ask you about your grooming requirements?
5. You can take a look at the groomer's operation. If the pet is happy and relaxed after the grooming, it means that the groomer has superb skills and confidence in his ability.
The above suggestions are not the only criteria for selection. Most groomers are very careful and patient, and are very passionate about their work. Parents should communicate more before choosing a groomer's service so that the groomer can fully understand your pet and your grooming requirements, so that they can provide you with better service.
