Give your pet a complete head-to-tail groom with Hand Scissor Full Grooming at Head to Tail Pet Spa in Saskatoon. This full-service grooming option is made for pets who need more than a bath and tidy. It includes coat cleaning, brushing, haircutting, nail care, ear cleaning, paw pad trimming, sanitary trimming, and finishing touches.
This service is a good fit for dogs who need a styled haircut, breed-style trim, scissor work, or a practical coat shape that suits their lifestyle. Whether your pet needs a neat everyday look or a more polished style, our groomers will talk with you about what you are looking for and do their best to meet your pet’s grooming needs.
What is included in a Hand Scissor Full Grooming?
Hand Scissor Full Grooming is a complete grooming appointment designed to help your pet look clean, tidy, and well cared for from head to tail.
Your pet receives a bath with shampoo and conditioner selected for their skin and coat type. This may include options such as hypoallergenic, moisturizing, or deep-cleansing products when appropriate for your pet’s needs.
After the bath, your pet is dried and brushed out to help remove dead hair and minor tangles. This step supports a healthier coat and helps reduce the chance of painful matting.
The service also includes a haircut and styling. This may include breed-specific grooming, popular pet styles such as a Teddy Bear Trim or Puppy Cut, or a functional trim that works better for your pet’s coat, comfort, and lifestyle.

Full grooming with haircut and styling
Hand Scissor Full Grooming is ideal when your pet needs a full haircut rather than a simple freshen-up. It can help maintain coat shape, remove overgrown hair, and make your pet easier to manage between appointments.
If your dog needs regular coat shaping, you may also want to review our dog grooming services in Saskatoon. For pets who need a full-body clip rather than scissor styling, our Pet Clip service may also be relevant.
Brush-out and minor tangle care
A full brush-out is included to remove dead hair and minor tangles. This is an important part of coat care because small tangles can become uncomfortable if left too long.
If your pet already has problem areas, you can learn more about why tangles can be trouble for pets. For more serious matting, the groomer may recommend a different approach based on your pet’s coat condition. You can also read about dematting and coat care.
Nail trimming, filing, and paw pad trimming
Nail trimming is included with Hand Scissor Full Grooming. Keeping nails at a comfortable length can help reduce cracking, splitting, and paw discomfort.
Nail filing may also be available upon request for an extra fee to help smooth sharp edges after trimming. If your pet only needs nail care between grooming appointments, read more about our nail trim service.
This service also includes paw pad trimming. Hair between the paw pads is carefully trimmed to help keep paws cleaner and reduce slipping on smooth floors.
Ear cleaning and sanitary trim
Ear cleaning is included to help remove visible wax and dirt buildup. Hair from the ear canal may also be carefully removed when needed.
A sanitary trim is also included to help keep sensitive areas cleaner and reduce matting in places that can become uncomfortable for pets.
Finishing touches after grooming
After the haircut and maintenance work are complete, your pet receives finishing touches to help them leave the spa looking clean and ready to go home.
This may include a pet-safe cologne or deodorant, a bow or bandana, and a final check to make sure the groom is neat and complete.
Hand Scissor vs. Bath & Tidy
Choose Hand Scissor Full Grooming when your pet needs a complete haircut or styled trim. This service is more detailed than a bath-based maintenance appointment.
If your pet only needs a bath, brush-out, nail trim, ear cleaning, and light trimming around the face, feet, and sanitary area, our Bath & Tidy service may be enough.
If your pet only needs a bath, drying, nail trim, ear cleaning, and basic hygiene support, our Bath & Nail service may be the better fit.
Helpful for doodles, long coats, and styled trims
Some coat types need more regular upkeep than others. Doodles, poodles, Shih Tzus, and other longer-coated dogs often need consistent brushing and grooming to stay comfortable.
If you have a doodle or mixed-breed dog with a high-maintenance coat, you may find our guide on doodle grooming and coat care helpful before booking.
Add-on bath options for coat and skin care
Some pets may benefit from a deeper coat and skin cleanse during their grooming routine. If you are interested in a bath option beyond a standard wash, ask our team about the Micro Bubble Bath service.
You can also learn more about Head to Tail’s Microbubble Bath for pets and whether it may suit your pet’s coat or skin needs.
Preparing for a full grooming appointment
Before your appointment, tell the groomer about your pet’s coat condition, sensitive areas, health changes, behaviour concerns, and the haircut style you want. Photos can be helpful, but the final result will depend on your pet’s coat type, coat condition, and comfort during grooming.
If this is your pet’s first visit, review our first pet grooming appointment checklist for Saskatoon pet owners. You can also read our guide on how to prepare your dog for grooming visits.
How often should you book a full grooming?
The right grooming schedule depends on your pet’s coat type, haircut, shedding, activity level, and how easily their coat tangles. Some pets need frequent grooming, while others can wait longer between appointments.
For general guidance, read our pet grooming schedule guide or ask the groomer what timing makes sense after your pet’s appointment.
