PSA to men who ask us groomers if they can get a haircut too, please stop. It’s creepy

[bonitadan]

12 years I’ve been a groomer and I’ve lost count how many times I’ve heard “cAn YoU cUT mY hAiR toO?”. And if you reply “sorry dogs only.” They come back with “wELL iM A dOg!” It’s unoriginal and comes off as really creepy. I just got out of my mobile van to walk a client dog back to their apartment and was immediately bombarded with the above encounter. So please, even if you mean well, just don’t.

That is all, have a lovely day

@bonitadan There’s a grooming place next to a barber down the street. They have a sign out that says something along the lines of… stop in and get your man and dog groomed while you have a beer!

 

[bonitadan]

@sjb That’s awesome lol

@bonitadan My dream in life was to marry a barber or masseuse and open a business together.

@sjb My partner was a hair stylist for ten years and now she’s a dog groomer. If they ask, she will cut their hair.

She gets those p’s.

@anmarcos Way overcharge them for it, too. They deserve it.

@bonitadan I used to work with a girl who'd tell them "I only do neutered males"

 

[bonitadan]

@auwebber23 Hahah, might use this !

 

[greenviolets]

@bonitadan It’s not creepy to me unless they add “I won’t bite ” and then I wanna stick my shears somewhere sensitive

 

[imagebeastmarkbeast]

@greenviolets Literally LOL

 

[shayamno]

@bonitadan I say “sure, hop on up” and pat the table. They all laugh and stammer something about joking.

 

[greenviolets]

@shayamno I might try this!

@shayamno Wouldn’t ask a groomer to do it but I shave my head with the same clippers i groom my Aussie doodle with, so I’d let a groomer do it
