✂️The knee is at the front. The clipper is at the back.

👉Why? Because the hair behind the stifle is what defines the line you see at the front. Remove it correctly and the knee appears on its own.

❌This is where most legs go wrong. We attack the front, take too much, and end up with a flat, straight leg with no angulation. Then we chase it, and chase it, and the dog gets shorter and shorter.

✅If that sounds familiar, it’s not a skill problem. It’s a sequencing problem, and it’s fixable.

➡️The full rear leg breakdown is in the Teddy Salon Trim, Short Salon Style course. Every step, every angle, filmed so you can follow along on your own table.

Sc******ng isn’t picking up a scissor and cutting.
It’s knowing which way the scissor is facing.

Watch the finger rest. That’s your direction. If it’s tilted, your line is tilted and the coat tells the truth every time.

Stand behind the scissor. Let your body set the angle, not your wrist.

Foundations first. Polish follows. ✂️

This is exactly what we build inside my Beginner to Intermediate Scissor Course, 8 modules covering scissor anatomy, grip and hand fitting, posture and straight lines, cylinders, bevels and curved scissors. Step-by-step videos, a downloadable scissor handbook and printable practice guides, at your own pace from home.

$149 (normally $199)

Behind every launch is a thousand unseen moments.

Today, it’s me behind the camera, capturing the final pieces of something we’ve poured our hearts into.

From developing and trialling every product, to designing our labels, using Australian-made bottles, and now creating our own photography and video, we do it all because every detail matters.

And this one is worth the wait…

🚨 Scissor Mist is almost here! Our exciting collaboration with Colin Taylor is a limited-edition, lemon sherbet-scented mist designed to help groomers achieve the ultimate plush finish with greater sc******ng precision.

No shortcuts. Just passion, purpose, and doing it all with heart. We can’t wait to share this launch with you. 🍋✂️

Some dogs teach you patience. The Kerry Blue teaches you precision.

That coat won’t let you hide. Every line you set, every angle you shape, every blend you cross-check, it all shows. And that’s exactly why it makes you better.

There’s a moment in every scissor trim where the dog stops being a shape and starts being a silhouette. Where the work you’ve put into your hands finally shows up in front of you.

I want you to feel that moment.

Kerry Blue Terrier: Salon Trim — start to finish, scissor in hand, all day.
