Cat Grooming Styles

Triple Wash and De shedding (Cat Bath)

Since 2019, Nikki has groomed cats for top‑level shows, working exclusively with high‑end, professional products selected for each cat’s unique coat.

Bathing is only suitable for cats whose fur is kept smooth, combed out, and free of compacted areas. To qualify for a wash, owners must comb their cat with a coarse or fine comb at least twice a week. This prevents the coat from becoming thick, dense, or tangled.

This service is ideal for owners who have the time and budget to maintain their cat’s coat at home and bring them in monthly or bi‑monthly. A non‑maintained coat is not suitable for shampoo and water, as washing a compacted coat will cause the fur to tighten and mat even further. In these cases, the matted areas must be shaved off before the bath.

Because of this, bathing is not appropriate for every cat.

This service includes:

Nail clipping
Ear and eye cleaning
Bath and blow dry
De shedding during bath and blow dry

You’re welcome to choose any of the following free services to your appointment, as long as the coat is fully maintained and does not require spot mat removal:

Sanitary clip (shave inside back legs and bum)
Belly trim (shortening the fur on belly)
Paw trim (trim fur back on paws)
Pantaloon trim (shortening fur on back legs under bum area, so poo does not stuck)
Bum shave — available upon request at no extra charge

Short‑haired cats do not require face trims or pantaloon trims. However, if you’d like a bum shave only, Nikki is happy to include it at no cost.

These complimentary trims are only free when the coat is smooth, combed out, and free of tangles. If any matting is present, spot‑mat removal will be required first, and this is a separate paid service.

Spot Mat Removal Before Bath:

If your cat has small, isolated mats—such as on the armpits, chest, bum, or belly—Nikki can safely shave those areas prior to the bath. (Please add extra time as "add-on" spot mat removal with this service in the online booking system). However, all other parts of the coat must be extremely smooth, combed through, and well maintained. If the coat is thick, clumpy, or cotton‑like anywhere else, a bath cannot be performed until the coat is shortened or shaved.

Your cat’s comfort and safety always come first.

Comb Clip AKA Teddy Bear Cut

(Trimming fur shorter but not until the skin)

A comb clip is a shorter, all‑over body trim designed for cats whose coats are well‑maintained at home. To be eligible for this service, the coat must be free from a thick winter undercoat and free from widespread matting.

A good way to check if your cat is suitable for a comb clip is this: A metal comb (not a brush) should glide easily through the coat, all the way to the skin, across the entire body.

Small, isolated mats in areas such as the armpits, inner back legs, or chest can be removed as a paid add‑on with spot mat removal. However, the majority of the coat must be in smooth, combable condition. If the fur is too thick, compacted, or tangled, the trimmer cannot pass through the coat properly, and the service cannot be performed.

For long‑lasting shedding control, this service keeps your cat’s coat lighter and cleaner for up to 2.5–3 months.

Includes:

Full‑body trim with or without bath
Head untouched and lower legs trimmed
Face trim if required such as Persians
Sanitary clip (shave inside back legs and bum)
Pantaloon trim (behind back legs under bum)
Tail options: full tail, trim tail with a pom‑pom
Mane options: untouched (lion head), blended in (tiger head)
Mane can be left untouched if there is no matting around the neck
Nail clipping
Ear and eye cleaning
Bath and blow dry if required
Paw trim if required

Variations:

13 mm length left on body is the most popular (every 12 weeks)
6 weeks bath and 6 weeks comb clip with bath for high maintenance cats (especially winter)

Allocated time:

60 mins with bath
30 mins without bath

Price:

60 mins $150
30 mins $120

Spot Mat Removal

If your cat has small, isolated mats—such as on the armpits, chest, bum, or belly—Nikki can safely shave those areas prior to the trim. (Please add extra time as "add-on" spot mat removal with this service in the online booking system):

Entire belly (includes chest/neck/armpits/inside back legs/bum/belly) $30 (extra 20 mins)

Shaving

When a cat’s coat becomes very thick, tightly matted, or has a cotton‑like texture—especially around the belly and along the top of the body—a full or partial shave may be the safest and most comfortable option. These styles are designed to remove matting, improve hygiene, and keep your cat feeling light and clean. This type of services requires experienced cat groomers, as tools are sharp. Nikki received NCGI training in 2019 and 2022, and has been proudly operating her salon since July 2019. Nikki offers full body shave services as experienced and trained cat groomer. Nikki works alone; you do not hold your cat. No sedation cat grooming.

3/Wolf Cut (Partly shaving)

A wolf cut is ideal when the top of the cat’s coat is smooth and free of matting, but the lower areas require shaving.

This style includes shaving:

Belly
Chest
Inside of the back legs
Hip area
Outer back legs

The top of the body remains natural and unshaved OR shortening back, giving a clean, blended look while removing problem areas underneath.

Allocated time:

4/Other shaving option, similar to wolf cut (Partly shaving like black Persian cat on pic)

This style leaves the fur in the front and middle section of the body and shaves the back legs & lower back-end area. This will eliminate most of the problem areas that long haired or older cats normally would have. Optional tail styles available as unshaved tail or pom pom.

Please book a lion shave/wolf cut option in the online booking system.
