BRUSHER BATHER
CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
FRIDAY— Featuring Teri DiMarino
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.
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 e ort 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 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 “groomer’s-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.
Teri will cover the B/B fundamentals
in this five-hour program. Safety issues and handling will be stressed. Trade Show Special included with Brusher Bather Program.
