How to scissor a poodle top knot

[@angelagrater4193]

Very nicely done. I feel you do this to my expectations, checking over for hair sticking out, etc.

[@MelanieNewmanSalonEssentials]

Thank you so much, I am definitely an over checker, constantly going back over my groom, lol 😆💗🐩

[@angelagrater4193]

Yes I also love the extra detail on how to do the lines, etc. I have my toy poodle groomed at 6 weeks but if I could afford it I’d do it every 3. I have to tools to do the upkeep in between but this video was great informational. Nicely done, you’ve gained a subscriber

[@MelanieNewmanSalonEssentials]

@@angelagrater4193 thank you so much for subscribing 💘 it’s definitely hard to find the time to groom my dogs every 3 weeks, I probably give my dogs a hair cut every 5-6 weeks and bath every week to every second week🐩

[@ambermacdowell4477]

This video made me follow. Most informative video I’ve found so far to help me groom my standard. He grows hair so fast he gets a trim every 3 weeks and the cost adds up fast but even tho I’m doing it I still want him looking his best. Thank you!

[@MelanieNewmanSalonEssentials]

You’re very welcome Amber , I’m so happy this video has helped you.

I really appreciate your attention to detail. I'm just starting out in my grooming career and have groomed a Maltipoo and a Toy Yorkie. I have an upcoming poodle and have found your video to be very educational.

Thank you so very much. Excellent instructions 🙏

thank you 💖

[@patstemple2898]

Excellent instructions! Easy to follow and the camera work was spot on. Always showing exactly what she was doing. I will use this to help me with my senior standard poodle. Any tips on how to support my senior poodle while I groom her? Her back legs are weak & her neck tires causing her head to drop a bit. She’s very good & used to stand perfectly still for entire groom. Now, we take a lot of breaks sometimes taking a couple of days to finish. Thank you for your exceptional instructional video!

[@MelanieNewmanSalonEssentials]

Glad it was helpful! with my older dog, I groom him, with him either sitting or lying down. I groom him how he is most comfortable. I think its ok to give her breaks and groom her over a few days, allowing her to be more comfortable:)

[@marlenem7088]

He was soooooo good! Great job!

@@MelanieNewmanSalonEssentials shaving poodle feet & clipping nails (especially bc they are black nails). I struggle most with that so would love to see a video like that! But any video with a poodle getting groomed I enjoy really.💙 I do use the relax line of shampoos & that’s made grooming so much easier!☺️

Great job!!!!! Very helpful…… I am going to start grooming my poodles myself…….Help!!!!!!!!!!

[@sandieimus7711]

What a good dog! Mine is so hard to groom!

[@MelanieNewmanSalonEssentials]

He is a very good boy. If your boy is hard to groom start with basic grooming, go back to starting to brush his back only then working down his legs. Table manners is a very important part of grooming process, begin by placing him on a non slip Matt on a table and work your hand down his body, then the next day do the same, then slowly introduce the brush, let me know how you go💕

✔Well Done Melanie - EXCELLENT tutorial video 🐩

Thank you🙏🏻

[@connieb.317]

Thank you so much for this!! You are an amazing groomer. I have been grooming my own for over forty years but new tips are always great to see.. I am in the US and wondering if the spray you are using in this video is available here. Thank you! Snoopy is absolutely gorgeous and groomed to perfection.

[@MelanieNewmanSalonEssentials]

Hi LeLaurin, Thanks for your lovely comments, our products will be available in the US in coming months :-) and we will be sure to let everyone know once they are available. Snoopy is so beautiful, we have a few more videos coming up starring Snoopy :-)

[@connieb.317]

@@MelanieNewmanSalonEssentials I am so excited your products will be in the US soon. I had always had blacks for most of my life so I was drooling over Snoopy. He is just stunning. Thank you so much for the excellent videos. I wish I lived close to you so you could do mine.

[@catriamou]

New to your channel and loving it. I have my mother’s 15 year old Toy Poodle and want to learn to groom her. It’s less stressful for her to be at home. Have your products come to the USA yet? Thank you so much!​@@MelanieNewmanSalonEssentials

[@karlaharvey2623]

Thank you as your tutorials are the best I’ve been watching. Although::; it would be a lot easier to see what your doing if it had been a lighter colored poodle as with him being so black, it’s really hard to see really what your doing as in scissoring hair top know. I’ve been binging on Poodle cuts as I’m learning how to groom my tiny toy poodles coat. I have my clipper set, comb, slicker brush, nail clippers, but got to order a scissor set. I don’t want to make any mistakes and her too knotch I’ve never liked as her groomer always cuts it at an angle like a mullet and not rounded of. Soo that’s my goal is to get it rounded off. Thank you. I will once again scroll thru your videos for an in depth grooming on a light colored poodle. Phoebe has a band around her waist as well as her neck.

[@MelanieNewmanSalonEssentials]

Thank you so much💗 I will really try and get a different coloured poodle. I don’t have any other colours on my books, they are all black ✂️✂️✂️

I am checking out how to groom my toy poodle. He has worn out all his past groomers! Have you any tips for a dog that hates...I mean really hates being groomed.

[@MelanieNewmanSalonEssentials]

thank you for your question, can I asked how old he is and what he does at the groomers and what he does not like getting done?

[@JulieFry-x9l]

What blade do you use on the face thx

[@MelanieNewmanSalonEssentials]

hi Julie, I use from 10# to 40# depending n the poodle. On this poodle I used a #15.

[@JulieFry-x9l]

@MelanieNewmanSalonEssentials Thank you, just trying to teach myself . We (hubby & I) are attempting the top knot 😊 With the 5 in1 blade when looking at the back of blade is 9 on the left hand side ? Thanks

what about the eyelashes ??

[@MelanieNewmanSalonEssentials]

the eyelashes do get trimmed when scissoring the poodle top knot. 💖

[@rldorsey11]

This video made me so nervous for Snoopy. The size of the scissors were extremely large for dog grooming.

[@MelanieNewmanSalonEssentials]

I am very experienced with hand scissoring poodles and Bichons. The scissors I use in this grooming tutorial area appropriate size for this size poodle. Are you a groomer?

[@catriamou]

@@MelanieNewmanSalonEssentials hello. I am not the original poster but have the same issue. Being new to this is there a smaller scissor? (With the curve as I imagine that is important). Thank you

[@rrhistorian8828]

Ridiculous comment. Doesn’t make one bit of sense. You were so nervous for Snoopy. Are you always this dramatic? Extremely large scissors? What are you insinuating, that she was using hedge shears made for trimming bushes?? Again, you’re ridiculous.

[@MelanieNewmanSalonEssentials]

Hello, very sorry for the late . Yes, if you are new to grooming you can use smaller scissors. I would begin with a 6.5” straight scissor and practicing scissoring with the tips of the scissors ✂️

[@tgtg4512]

Very well explained, but visually a white dog would 've been better.

[@MelanieNewmanSalonEssentials]

unfortunately I don't have any white poodles that I can demo on, sorry :)
