Every client wants a slightly different length. Store trim settings per pet in the profile.

Based on curly coat type. Working groomers adapt tools to the individual pet — these are the core kit.
The professional workflow for a curly-coated breed like the Schnoodle.
Check for matting at friction points (armpits, behind ears). Photograph before work begins.
Curly coats need a deep clean — two shampoos, conditioner, full rinse.
Clipping a damp curly coat creates uneven lines. Ensure the coat is fully dry and fluffed.
Check stored trim length in pet profile. Use consistent guard combs for repeatable results.
Round feet, blend face, and scissor the final silhouette for the polished finish.
Summer clients often want shorter trims — save trim preferences seasonally so groomers always match the client's vision.

Every 4–6 weeks. Coats range from soft Poodle curls to a harsher Schnauzer texture — texture decides whether you scissor, clip, or shape the classic beard.
A teddy bear cut with a tidied (not full Schnauzer) beard is most popular; some owners request the traditional Schnauzer pattern.
Minimally — but the beard wicks water and food, so face washing and beard combing between grooms matter.
