Find the look. Name the details. Ask better questions.
Style names are only shorthand. These guides help you choose a direction, describe each part of the groom, and bring a clearer visual brief to the appointment.

Dog haircut styles
Start with the silhouette you like, then use the guide to make the request specific.
Teddy bear cut
Ask for a rounded face, tidy eyes, blended ears, and a balanced body length that suits the coat you have today. Bring a photo and name what you like about it.
Puppy cut
Do not ask for only a puppy cut. Add the body length you have in mind, how round or natural the face should be, and whether the ears and tail stay fuller than the body.
Summer cut
Ask for a practical warm-weather trim that suits your dog's coat type and condition. Let the groomer recommend whether that means a shorter clip, outline tidy, de-shedding service, or another approach.
Lamb cut
Ask for a shorter body with fuller legs that are blended smoothly into the shoulders and hips. Then specify the face, ears, feet, and tail as separate choices.
Top knot
Ask to retain enough head coat for the top knot, keep the eye area comfortable and visible, and choose how the longer head should transition into the ears and face.
Coat and haircut guides
These are coat-aware planning guides, not promises that every dog with a label has the same texture.
