Wow Arisa! I’ve always wanted to watch one of her full grooms. Always always love all the little details & comments the groomer has to add. Loved the detailed explanation on clearing out the eyes, I will definitely be trying this candy head.

Very digestible course. Explanation of the head and ears was pretty easy to follow. I can’t wait to try it out next time I get a bichon or toy poodle in!

I loved it. It’s well explained, although I personally don’t like the wide legs. The head is beautiful. Awesome.

OMGoodness!,, I’m Arisas newest fan now. Will seek to follow. I absolutely loved how she talked and was easy to listen and learn. I even was able to take notes and follow along with no issues. . She was clean, classy and knowledgeable. Her style is beautiful and the dog was so well behaved. Thank you for sharing. I have a mini doodle. I will try this on her next groom.

Loved Arisa’s guidance on how to achieve this cut. One small thing, if the videographer could avoid using auto focus, that would be great… the constant seeking was quite distracting. But otherwise, Arisa’s content was great! I just need a good Bichon candidate!
