Beginning my self taught journey and very much appreciate experienced groomers like you being willing to share your knowledge. Thanks.

This was really helpful as a LOT of groomers these days are self taught and haven't been told ever how to properly hold scissors.

FINALLY! Someone explains the mysterious canyon between the blades! I have been trying to figure out why all of my curved shears have visibility between the blades.. now I know that the work is in the thumb 👍 Thank you!

Wow, thanks so much for this video! I was totally handling my scissors wrong. Thanks again.

I had no idea i was holding them wrong, thank you for making this video!

Thank you so much! You have a fantastic ability to explain things clearly. I've been grooming my Shih Tzu for five years now and all this time I've been holding my scissors wrong and of course getting a less than satisfactory result. Annie's getting a bath as soon as I turn this off! I can hardly wait to practice. My only disappointment is that I see you provided this video three years ago. Think how fabulous a haircut Annie would be getting today if I'd seen it then! I'm going to subscribe. Undoubtedly there are lots more tips that will improve my skills.

Best scissor tutorial on KZfaq. Thank you

Thank you so much! This helped me a lot ! I was having hand issues lately and i know it’s because I’ve been holding my shears wrong. As soon as I switch things from your video.. whole new world.. now I feel like I have to re learn how to groom

Thank you for sharing this..

Hii, this video is already a life saver no doubts in that, but can you make a video explaining the pressure points on scissors? My thumb slips all the way through and i get confuse where to put pressure on the rings and the shank. Just got a technical mind, and love your hands ❤️

Thank you for your tips! :)

Cool tips and explanations! S just found you and following!🙂

Thank you, helpful

Gracias ❤

You shouldn't have to put side pressure with your thumb to get your shears to cut, that's what the adjuster is for. If you put side pressure with your thumb while using thinners, chunkers or blenders you'll jam them up and bend or break the teeth.. FYI -- The "balance" you refer to is the proper adjustment of the adjuster at the pivot.

I didn't know how to hold the curved shears lmao. this definitely helped my thumb placement and how to keep it in. I'm left handed but I've been trying to learn with my right hand since I usually do everything other than writing with my right, so my brain doesn't comprehend the differences unless I'm sat down and shown while still trying with my own. so basically my inserts that were color coded have to be changed on my curved. 😂😂😭. thank you!!

thanks

OMG thank you so much I feel totally stupid didn't even know I was holding my scissors wrong

need to learn how to groom my malamute. right off the bat had no idea that was how you were suppose to hold them

🌹Thank You🌹

Hi I was wondering if you can recommend a set from Amazon ?? I am not new to grooming but I am not yet a pro especially with scissor cutting, so I would love your opinion on what starting set I can buy that is not too too expensive. Thank you so much for sharing this video. It’s really helped a lot.

Which scissors brand are best for grooming?

@thegroomerchanel where are your shears from ?

What brand shears do you use?

Ali, I need to buy a dog trimmer for my toy poodle. What is the best shaver I should buy for him? Thx!

Thanks. Btw, u so pretty!

What scissors do you recommend ? I am not a groomer but I have been grooming my dog and each time I am getting better and better . It’s hard to find a groomer that “only uses scissors technique on my Coton de Tulear”. Thank you so much for this advice, it is so helpful .

Smart girl if I have a poodle and I want one scissors to groom her with. What type do you recommend and what brand? She is a very tough forest dog and I want to mock her with funny haircuts And eventually refined a very practical style

What brands make good grooming scissors?

Thank you so much for this!! I can't open my shears very much just using my thumb, I have a lot of physical limitations. Any tips for that, or is it okay to occasionally move the index finger?

Wow's... smart girl.... very ☯️

Can anybody give me some terms or lango dog groomers use please and thank you !

What size would the shears be for a 30/70? I'm looking at either 7" or 8" sets online, I'm just starting to purchase things to groom my own dog for practice first! Also can you recommend a cheaper brand for those of us just starting out?

Please do more and if possible show us how you groom a dog tx

Can you turn down your intro title music? It's insanely loud compared to the actual audio of the video. Thanks

I want these inserts but the link doesn’t work! Help 😭

I came here to learn how to trim my GSD who's gotten hecka fluffy but u kinda cute heeyyy

سلام عليكم

that nails😊

Im left hansed!!!

I will watch this video again when my knee heals

Those shears are not set up properly. You need inserts that are small enough so there is no play at all in any finger hole. Why? Because it causes the shear to move as you scissor. With the thumb being sloppy like that you loose control. Your thumb controls the shear. Great presentation but the shears need set up properly.
