Brusher Bather Certificate

Program

Teri DiMarino | 12-6 PM

Your ability to do your job, and do it right, separates you from being “just a bather” to a position that contributes to the finished product in the salon. Teri believes that a good bath, brush and dry is 50% of a great groom. The bathing room is where most stylists started. Before future groomers begin to think of clipping coat, they must first know what to expect from the hair, and how to treat it to obtain desired results. Surprisingly, many great B/Bs remain in the bathing room, preferring the security of knowing there will always be a need for their expert services. Bathers-in-training, “groomer wannabes,” seasoned groomer techs, and salon owners will benefit from this day-long program with tips on equipment and products to make the job easier. From getting the dog ready for the tub, to finding the right shampoo through proper bathing and blow-drying techniques, Teri will cover the B/B fundamentals. Safety issues and handling will be stressed.

Tools

of the Trade and How to Use Them

From brushes and nail clippers, muzzles to grooming loops, Teri covers equipment basics, highlighting correct uses, in an effort to make the work easier and more comfortable for pet and bather. “These techniques and tools will make the finished groom a true work of art,” says Teri. Anals and ears will be also discussed.

Dematting…It’s Not What It Used To Be

Everyone has a technique for dematting a neglected pet. For some, it’s a shave-down and then entering the pelt in a Mat Contest. For others, it’s a time-consuming, hair-splitting experience, destined to take its toll on the pet, the B/B or both. Teri examines the most common and effective products, tools and techniques for the demat dilemma without getting all tangled up.

What’s In Those Bubbles??? Shampoos, Conditioners & Spray

Tocopherol, Ergocalciferol, Sodium Chloride. Teri takes a “groomers-eye” view of the stuff we use every day in language we can understand. Shampoos, sprays and conditioners are our most expendable items but what do we really know to select the right product for our situation? (Those scary words are techno-speak for vitamin E, vitamin D and simple table salt, often found in many grooming products.)

Getting the Most Out of Your Bathing and Drying Time

Bathing and drying are the most underestimated aspects of our jobs. Techniques can make or break a groom. The ability to properly apply products, thoroughly clean and then dry the pet will have a direct influence on the finish. You will hear about time-saving equipment and techniques.

Grooming Business Mastery: Profit, and Perfect Grooms

Elli Bultemeier | 12-4 PM

Let’s face it, NO ONE wants to talk about policies and procedures. How boring, right? Well, I disagree! Written policies and procedures aren’t “corporate”—they’re what make your business legitimate. In this four-hour class, Elli will walk you through setting clear expectations for management, employees, and customers, so your business runs like a well-oiled machine. We’ll cover everything from employee handbooks and handling call-offs to no-show/last-minute cancellation policies. But that’s not all! Pricing for profit is essential to running a successful grooming business. Elli will break down the simple numbers that help you stop guessing and start profiting. You’ll learn how to build an amazing work environment for your team and ensure that both you and your staff thrive.

There will also focus on hand stripping. So many shops get calls for hand stripping and do not offer it.

Creating the Ultimate Grooming Assistant

Teri DiMarino | 2-3 PM

We all need help at one point or another. Finding qualified help can be a chore, as we expect them to come into our salons and immediately know the routine. Well, this doesn’t always work. Sometimes we are better off “making our own” assistant. A good assistant can be worth their weight in gold and, if trained right, can eventually become one of your top groomers. What do we look for in this potential help? How do we start training them? What should we expect from them? Teri will give you some good ideas on how to get involved in hiring and training the right person for the job.

Why Forecasting is Important Retirement in the World of Grooming and Succession Planning
