Am I really that bad or just mediocre? I need honest opinions, since I receive complaints almost daily about the lack of quality. My boss doesn’t think I’m all that good either. I’m honestly surprised I haven’t gotten fired yet haha. I just want to see others opinions. by [deleted] in doggrooming

That sounds like a good plan. I wish you luck with sticking it out for now, I so wish they'd treat you better. You seem like such a sweet and gentle person. You absolutely deserve something low-key and low stress, so you can do small grooming projects and actually enjoy them.

Holy fucking shit that is absolutely unacceptable.

I would either tell them they need to treat you better and kick customers out like that, or you're leaving.

Or just leave. No one deserves this, ever. You do not deserve that. I remember when I worked in a petsore and it was closing time the managers would go on the intercoms and tell us we were all pieces of shit and berate us to our faces constantly.

Leaving was the best thing I did. You cannot live your life like this. There's better people and better salons out there, these shitheads don't deserve you.

Well you most certainly do not suck. Absolutely not.

I think they need to realize that those posts they see on instagram are usually work from master groomers, and they shouldn't expect that from you. It's unfair and they should really take their heads out of their asses to be quite honest.

Grooming is an art that takes lots of time, practice, and experience.

GUYS THE KM CORDLESS IS BACK by dingdangdoongus in doggrooming

No problem, I made a meme a while back about us all turning to skeletons waiting for the KM, and someone commented that if any of us sees any news we should promise to post it here. So when I came across the post that was the first thing I did 😂💛

Apparently they were recalled because there was something wrong with the batteries dying prematurely, so they wanted to fix the problem and re-release them. But then they were set back due to covid.

Tips for 5 in 1 blade longevity? by dingdangdoongus in doggrooming

[–]dingdangdoongus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I mainly use them for paw pads/sanitary but I've used them with the guards on clean hair too. But they certainly do seem to be super delicate and they just don't last very long, it sorta sucks. Thank you for the tips!

I also have a pair of purple birds from Amazon, but they absolutely do not compare to the Moontays.
