Choosing Professional Dog Clippers: Blades, Speed, Cordless
Most professional dog clippers take detachable A5-type blades, run at one to five speeds, and come corded or cordless. Blade numbers run backwards: a #10 leaves 1.5 mm, a #4F about 9.5 mm.
Opening a Trade Account: What Grooming Suppliers Ask For
Grooming wholesalers usually ask for proof that you groom professionally, such as a qualification, insurance certificate, website or business registration. What to have ready, and what an account gets you.
