Curly / Poodle-Type Coat Grooming
Single-layer curly or wavy coat that grows continuously and does not shed heavily. These coats are characterized by grows continuously — needs regular clipping and require a low-shedding maintenance routine. At Kay's Groom Room in Seagoville, TX, we groom curly / poodle-type coat dogs using stand dryer for fluff-dry, slicker brush + comb for line-brushing, detail shears for face and feet, plus stand/fluff dryer (not cage-dried — produces tight, uneven finish) for the right finish. A typical appointment runs 90–180 minutes depending on size and mat level and we recommend booking every 4–6 weeks to keep the coat healthy and mat-free. Common breeds with this coat type include Poodle (all sizes), Goldendoodle, Bernedoodle, Maltipoo. Whether you're bringing in a puppy for their first groom or a long-time client for a maintenance visit, every appointment is one-on-one — no other dogs, no rushing, no cages.
