For groomers looking to achieve a textured, natural finish in half the time, chunker scissors are an absolute game-changer. Characterised by their wide-spaced, T-shaped teeth on one blade and a solid edge on the other, chunkers are designed to remove a significant amount of hair while leaving a soft, feathered look. They are the ideal middle ground between traditional scissors and thinners, allowing you to shape a coat quickly without the risk of leaving the harsh, blunt lines often associated with straight shears. Our range at Groomers Online features high-quality steel and ergonomic designs to ensure that even during heavy texturising sessions, your hand remains comfortable and your cuts stay precise.
Which coat types are best suited for chunking?
Chunkers are highly effective on thick, curly, or woolly coats, where a standard scissor may struggle to achieve a natural look. They are a favourite for:
-
Doodles and Poodle-mixes: To create that signature "shaggy but tidy" appearance.
-
Heavy Double Coats: To thin out and shape the trousers or chest of a Golden Retriever or Newfie without it looking obviously cut.
Drop Coats: To soften the bottom of a skirt or the ends of the ears for a less formal, more modern finish.
