Soooooo....... In my quest for knowledge I am curious to know if any of you have ever asked a groomer for (or if you're a goomer been asked for) "earring ears" ?
No lie, this is an actual client who asked this of me. I've never heard that before so it kind of got my attention. The kind of thing that makes you look up and go "What?!" My first thought when she asked this was tassle ears like what I have on Jazz. That would make sense. I tried to get her to be more specific about what her earring ears were to look like. She went on to say that boy poodles have ears cut straight across and girl poodles have "earring ears"... umm K. Maybe I'm a little slow, what is an earring ear? The lady didn't quite know how to explain what she wanted. She kept sayig... youknow earrings...
I showed her Jazz;s ears and asked ,"That?"
She looked horrified and said NOOOOOO!!!
I'm sorry... is my eye twitching??? :mmph: Haha.
I ended up doing your average everyday rounded poodle ears, which looked pretty on her little doggie, stuck some bright pink bows in her ears, and called it quites. Apparently I had stumbled upon what earring ears looked like all by myself. The lady LOVED it and said I was the first groomer to get it right. Humm, sheer luck methinks.... Oh did I mention the dog is 14yr?? So you're telling me in 14 years nobody has ever done this ??? Weird.
Soooo, anyone else heard this term before in ref. to rounded ears?
