@olwebs DM me I can explain what you’ll need to fast track through paragon.

@olwebs If I was in your position I would reach out to the DL explain everything and see where the conversation goes. I would also see if there’s a Co near you even if it’s a drive. CO’s usually send people to be trained faster and more reliably than marts.

@gentleminh Email him, if he tries to harass you/becomes abusive you have a paper trail. Do not accept any calls from him unless you can record the call (check state laws most are one party meaning only one person has to know the call is being recorded).

I just personally don’t think...

@ayu415 Fair warning about Petsmart: They lie a lot I mean a lot, a lot about everything. Working in a Petsmart salon is basically like working with all the high school mean girls who weren’t smart enough to become nurses. I know there are some exceptions to this but the majority are pretty...

@mutambo Never had an issue with any of my clients most dogs aren’t bather daily or weekly with either.

@simon84 Conditioner containing keratin are my favorite as of right now. However the coat has to be really clean before using any conditioner. I shampoo once with a clarifying/degreasing followed up with silky show or another protein shampoo. I also use a leave in conditioner after I’ve finished...
