Dogs Before and After Japanese Grooming

Animal photographer Grace Chon took these photos of cute dogs before and after Japanese grooming for her photo series titled Hairy.

“All the dogs have been groomed in a Japanese grooming style,” Chon says. “Japanese dog grooming does not follow the rules of traditional, breed-standard grooming. In fact, it only has one mission ― to bring out the dogs’ individual personalities and make them look as adorable as possible! With extreme attention to detail and careful consideration of a pup’s best attributes, Japanese dog groomers and salons achieve the perfect transformations by forgetting the uniform looks and getting creative.”

The series is also available as a book titled Puppy Styled.
