Hand stripping is the process of removing excess dead topcoat, without clipping, leaving room for the new coat to grow and giving a more natural look. It keeps the dog’s coat tidy and healthy, leaving it strong and shiny. It is done by plucking/pulling the hairs out in the direction of growth. If the coat is not manually removed, the hair follicle can become clogged and matted and this can lead to irritation for the dog or more advanced problems later.

The Hand Scissoring method gives better

control to style a dog and do profile

correction and balancing the dog, and is the

foundation of Asian Fusion Services. The

hand scissoring technique can be used on

all lengths and all coat texture hair, but it

best suited to drop and curly coats.

Minor tangles may be resolved by brushing or combing, excessive matting must be carefully removed with electric clippers and scissors. Attempting to brush excessive matting is painful and harmful to the animal's overall wellbeing, skin, and coat. Our highly skilled and qualified team will do what is the best interest of your pet. We do not harm animals to please people.

The process removes your pet’s undercoat

and reveals a cleaner and healthier-looking

coat. Sidenote, if you are a cat owner,

expect the regular benefits of your pet

feeling lighter and having shinier fur, plus

​an additional benefit of a reduction in the

​number of hairballs.

When a cat licks itself it does not remove its mats, trim its nails, clean its ears, get rid of its dandruff, kill the fleas, or eliminate the grease in its coat.  Professional grooming cleans and improves a cat’s skin and coat and solves real problems.
An entire process that includes a degreasing bath, a thorough blow dry with an HV dryer, a nail trim, cleaning of the ears, complete de-matting and removal of dead coat, and any trimming or clipping that is appropriate for a particular cat.

Jacketed and Combination Coats consists of a harsh, weather resistant jacket and longer furnishings. Dogs will typically have longer hair on their tail, ears, legs and belly. The distribution of the short and long hair all over the body varies for each dog. Sometimes, you see the distinction between the type of coat, but sometimes it is more blended. This requires a combination of carding and scissors/clipper work.
