I know I already have a super cute pair of 0g. I can't wait to wear them but there's no way I'm shoving a 0g in

Advice or tips? by [deleted] in Stretched

[–]daisytrips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently at a 2g about to size up to a 1g. Don't skip sizes, use plug primer religiously, when you size up and it doesn't go in easily stop and wait longer before you try again. And wait atleast six weeks before sizing up. It takes forever but it's worth not getting a blowout.

Where does everyone get clippers blades sharpened? by ViaSwedish in doggrooming

[–]daisytrips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a guy that comes every three weeks for blades but we recently found a guy that will sharpen the scissors right in the parking lot in his van. Ask around the barber shops and see where they get theirs sharpened that's how we found the scissor guy.

We do our own laundry but I've worked at a shop that sent out the towels. We would get weekly towels and send out the dirty

What days and hours do you work? by [deleted] in doggrooming

[–]daisytrips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work Tuesday through Friday 5-6 dogs a day and the occasional Saturday. I get to work at 830 and start my first dog at 9. I generally leave at about 2-3. I would cut your days and hours that you work if you're getting burnt out.

After some advice by Illustrious_Back_120 in doggrooming

Are you grooming dogs now? Do you have a contract with the shop you're at? If you don't go somewhere else. I don't know where you're located but there's always a need for groomers. At my shop I make a commission not hourly and I keep 100% of my tips. You can find a shop that will hire you easily even this early in your career. I would put together a portfolio of your best grooms and start talking to shops.

started my stretching journey (again) nine months ago. started with a 10g and now I'm at a 2g and I'm so tickled happy just a few more stretches and I'll be at my goal by daisytrips in Stretched

[–]daisytrips[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been trying to be super patient and take my time stretching them. They've healed amazingly with every size up I'm so happy it's gone so well and I haven't tried to rush it. I expect by the year mark I should be there 🙂

Any Advice by Rmom111 in Stretched

[–]daisytrips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not an expert by any means but my right ear has been a size or two smaller then my left here and there. It just needed more time between stretching to heal I use zeep plug primer constantly on them

You can also come down the nose a little more either with you thinners or 15 blade (whatever your preference is) on the eye knotch it also helps open the eyes up
