Dye:
We will provide two sets of 8oz permanent dye for students to use and share. If additional dye is needed, students can purchase it at wholesale discount - 20% off.
Bringing a Dog:
Students are welcome to bring a dog, but please note that the size must not exceed that of a standard poodle.
We will have one tub available for rinsing, but due to space limitations, students may need to rinse their dogs one by one, which could take some extra time. Please be prepared for this on Day 2 of the seminar.
Preparation for Day 2 Workshop:
Given the limited time, it is not possible to complete an entire design within a single day. We strongly recommend that students complete 50%ā70% of their work before the Day 2 seminar. This will allow our educator to focus on providing personalized guidance to everyone.
For Students Without Dogs:
If you are not bringing a dog, you may purchase a wool pad or a model dog & wig from OPAWZ at a 20% discount.
Creative Grooming Contest Discount:
Students registered for the seminar can enjoy a 20% discount on entry fees for the Creative Grooming Contest on November 21st. A discount code will be emailed to seminar attendees.
