Add Some Flare to Your Poodles | Replay 📼

Presenter: Colleen Beagley
Dog: Brulee the Standard Poodle
Recorded at: igroomhub HQ, 3rd October 2025

Colleen explores how thoughtful prep and scissoring techniques create trims that hold their shape and wear well between grooms. Filmed live, the sessions walk through prep, Poodle points, bevels, legs, and finishing, with a strong focus on structure, symmetry, and balance.

The emphasis is on salon-friendly styling, not chasing a show finish. You’ll learn how to adapt techniques for different builds, coat types, and client expectations while still producing clean, confident Poodle trims.

Each replay includes study notes with timestamps so you can revisit specific techniques easily.

PART 1

In the first part of this two-part seminar, Colleen Beagley dives into Poodle prep and the essential “points” that set the stage for a stylish, lasting groom. Filmed at igroomhub HQ with Brulee the Standard Poodle, this session is packed with practical detail that applies to everyday salon trims just as much as the show ring.

⚠️ Note: The first 5 minutes and 20 seconds of this video are pixelated. We learned a lot from this first livestream, so future seminars will be much better quality. Use the timestamps in the study notes to skip straight to the sections you want.

What you will see in this replay:

  • Why coat prep is the foundation of every successful Poodle groom

  • Step-by-step guidance on face, feet, throat, tail, and crest lines

  • How to use anatomy landmarks for consistency and symmetry

  • Corrective grooming: adapting lines when dogs aren’t perfectly built

  • Balancing salon practicality with breed-typical style

PART 2

In part two, Colleen continues her work on Brulee the Standard Poodle, shifting focus to bevels, legs, and finishing touches. She demonstrates both clipper and scissor bevels, then breaks each leg down section by section, showing how to build balance, angulation, and flare that lasts.

⚠️ Note: The first 3 minutes-ish of this video are a little pixelated. Again, this was our first livestream — quality will be much smoother in future seminars. Use the timestamps in the study notes to get straight to the good stuff.

What you will see in this replay:

  • Bevels made easy: clipper vs scissor techniques

  • Step-by-step scissoring for outside, inside, front, and back legs

  • Blending body into legs for a smooth, balanced outline

  • Salon vs show adjustments when clients want more flare

  • Final polish tips: Colleen’s “scissor, comb, scissor, comb” mantra
