Hand Stripping
Traditional coat care to maintain the health, texture and colour of wire-coated breeds
Service Description
Hand stripping is a specialist grooming technique used for suitable wire-coated breeds to remove dead coat by hand, allowing a new healthy coat to grow naturally. Unlike clipping, hand stripping helps preserve the correct texture, colour and weather-resistant qualities of the coat while maintaining its natural appearance. Every appointment begins with a consultation to assess your dog's coat condition and determine whether hand stripping is the most suitable option. Your dog's appointment includes: • Coat assessment and consultation • Full hand strip using traditional techniques • Brush through • Nail trim • Ear clean • Hygiene tidy where required • Light bath only if appropriate for your dog's coat • Finishing spray Hand stripping is suitable for many wire-coated breeds, including: Border Terrier Jack Russell Terrier (wire-coated) Norfolk Terrier Norwich Terrier Cairn Terrier Lakeland Terrier Welsh Terrier Airedale Terrier Wire Fox Terrier Scottish Terrier Schnauzers (where the coat is suitable) Wire-haired Dachshunds Griffons Other wire-coated breeds and crosses At Beyond the Brush, we always work with your dog's comfort in mind. Hand stripping should never be painful when carried out correctly on the appropriate coat type, and we allow plenty of breaks to ensure your dog remains comfortable throughout the appointment.
Cancellation Policy
At Beyond the Brush, every appointment is carefully planned to ensure each dog receives the time, patience and individual care they deserve. Please read the following policy before booking your appointment. Appointments: Please arrive on time for your appointment. Late arrivals may result in your appointment being shortened, rescheduled or cancelled if there is insufficient time to complete the groom safely. If you are running late, please contact us as soon as possible. Cancellations & No-Shows: We kindly ask for a minimum of 48 hours' notice if you need to cancel or rearrange your appointment. Appointments cancelled with less than 48 hours' notice may incur a cancellation fee of 50% of the scheduled service cost. Failure to attend an appointment without prior notice (a no-show) may result in the full appointment cost being charged and future bookings requiring payment in advance. Matting: Your dog's welfare will always come first. If your dog's coat is severely matted, clipping may be the safest and kindest option. We will discuss the available options with you wherever possible before proceeding. Additional charges may apply where extra time and care are required due to matting. Fleas & Parasites: If fleas or other external parasites are discovered during your dog's appointment, appropriate action will be taken to protect the salon and other dogs. A salon cleaning fee may be charged to cover the additional cleaning and treatment required. Health & Behaviour: Please inform us before your appointment of any medical conditions, allergies, mobility issues, recent surgery, behavioural concerns or if your dog is in season. This allows us to make any reasonable adjustments to ensure a safe and comfortable experience. Welfare-Led Grooming: Every dog is treated with kindness, patience and respect. If your dog becomes overly distressed, anxious or unsafe to continue, the groom may be adapted, paused or ended early in the interests of their welfare and the safety of everyone involved. Charges may still apply for work completed and the appointment time reserved. Payment: Payment is due on completion of your appointment unless otherwise agreed in advance. Our Promise: At Beyond the Brush, your dog's welfare will always take priority over achieving the perfect haircut. We believe in creating calm, positive grooming experiences built on trust, patience and understanding
