Yorkshire Terriers are ideal for creative grooming. Their silky, smooth coat resembles human hair – it holds shape perfectly, it is easy to create clear lines, transitions and color effects. In addition, Yorkies usually have a kind character, accustomed to attention and care, so they tolerate the procedures well and willingly “pose” after grooming.
This breed has long been associated with style, grace and charm. And if you want to do a show, you should do it with a yorkie! They are the most frequent heroes of glossy pages, Instagram stories and creative photo shoots.
Yorkie haircuts with character: shapes, outlines, styles
One of the brightest trends of creative grooming are unique haircuts. This is a real design, where every line is thought out, and the final result should express a style, mood or even a certain image.
For yorkies are popular haircuts with “zest” – for example, when the silhouettes of hearts or stars are left on the back, when the hair on the hind legs is trimmed in the form of “pants”, or when the chest and sides are formed so that the dog looks like a puffy “skirt”. Some variations even mimic dresses, frocks or suits.
You can create the illusion of a mane face (like a lion), elongated bangs with filigree eyeliner or “waves” on the sides. It is important that all these elements preserve the comfort of the animal – the dog should be comfortable to move, lie down, run. Therefore, an experienced groomer will always find a balance between beauty and comfort.
Such haircuts are a way to stand out, emphasize the individuality of your yorkie, make him the main character of a walk, event or photo shoot.
Artistic design: painting, drawings, airbrushing
Coloring a yorkie is one of the most famous and spectacular creative grooming techniques. But it’s not just about pink ears or a colorful tail. Today masters can create real pictures on the dog’s coat: from delicate pastel transitions to bright graffiti-style patterns. And all this is absolutely safe.
For coloring are used specialized dyes for animals, which do not contain ammonia, do not cause allergies and are easily washed off (if it is a temporary effect). There are also airbrushes – devices that spray dye in the form of a very fine powder, allowing you to create precise drawings, shadows, volume. It’s like a tattoo, but on wool – and without all the pain.
Popular images include a rainbow tail, a heart on the back, a flower on the paw, a butterfly on the withers. In some salons even order drawings in the style of cartoons or anime! Everything depends only on the owner’s imagination and the professionalism of the groomer.
Add glitter or ombré effect and your Yorkie will look like an art object on the legs. By the way, many colors wash off in 3-6 weeks, so you can change the image even every month.
Jewelry and accessories: rhinestones, tattoos, stickers, bows, earrings
Another dimension of creative grooming is jewelry. Yorkies, with their graceful appearance and elegant coat, look simply gorgeous in glittering details. The most popular elements are:
Rhinestones on the coat – glued on with a special non-toxic adhesive, lasts up to several days, does not disturb the dog and is easily removed.
Temporary tattoos – these are not paint on the skin, but drawings on the coat, applied with paint or spray. You can make a flower, paw, star or lettering.
Stickers and glitter elements – for photo shoots or holidays. They are applied to the back, paws, ears.
Decorative bows, rubber bands, clips – yorkies often have long bangs, so it looks especially stylish.
Earrings-clips for ears – only with the consent of the owner and if the dog calmly accepts it. They are often put on for photo zones or shows.
It’s like makeup and jewelry in fashion – the image can be changed every time, combined, supplemented, creating something really unique.
Creative grooming by season and for events: New Year, weddings, photo shoots
It’s no wonder that many owners want their pet to look special for holidays and events. And creative grooming is the perfect solution!
For New Year’s Eve, looks with silver or red accents, Santa Claus colors, snowflakes, glitter or white fluffy “cuffs” on the paws are popular. In spring, pastel colors, floral patterns, dragonflies or butterflies are often chosen. And if a photo shoot is being prepared – then images in the style of superheroes, fairy tale creatures, Disney characters or even a copy of the owner are possible!
For the wedding ceremony Yorkie can make a “veil” of fine mesh on the bangs, a white skirt from the haircut, rhinestones in the form of a wedding ring – and he becomes a full-fledged participant of the most important day. Many of our clients choose V.O.G DOG SALON to prepare their Pets for such events – and they are delighted!
