Full Forge Haircut
Unleash your hero's legendary spirit.
This ultimate transformation reveals your hero's inner fire and defines the natural shadow of their armor. From practical field-duty styles to elite scissored silhouettes, we forge a masterful look built for the journey ahead.
Not sure what style best suits your hero?
The Forge Master will recommend the ideal armor grade based on your dog's lifestyle and coat type—refining the style at each visit until we forge the perfect fit.
- Full body custom haircut.
- Includes the full Protector's Bath protocol.
- Three grades of armor styling: Iron (Short Blade), Steel (Elite Guard), or Shadow (Master Scissor).
- The Hero’s Medal: Bandana, bowtie, or flower.
Iron Grade
Short Blade Style.
The practical choice for the hero on the front lines.
Our shortest maintenance option, this style uses high-precision blades (1/16" to 1/2"). Designed for maximum durability and a sleek, uniform finish that stands up to any adventure.
- Recommended Frequency: 6–8 weeks.
- Brushing Requirements: Minimal.
Steel Grade
Elite Guard Style.
Plush protection for the resilient guardian.
This grade utilizes longer guard combs (5/8" to 1 1/4") to forge a lush, recognizable style. By maintaining a deeper coat length, we provide optimal comfort and a majestic, heroic appearance.
- Recommended Frequency: 4-6 weeks.
- Brushing Requirements: Moderate (Weekly brushing & combing).
Shadow Grade
Master Full Scissor & Specialty Cut.
The ultimate style for the legendary warrior.
Our most precise and demanding service. A full-body hand-sculpted finish or complex breed-standard specialty cut for the hero whose presence demands absolute perfection.
- Recommended Frequency: 2-4 weeks.
- Brushing Requirements: High (Daily brushing & combing).
The Forge Reset
Sometimes, the only way to move forward is to clear the path entirely.
When a hero's armor becomes severely matted or pelted, it is no longer protective—it is a burden that traps moisture, irritates the skin, and restricts movement. In these cases, the "Steel" or "Shadow" grades are no longer an option. For the safety and comfort of your hero, the Forge Master will perform a Forge Reset—a very short shave to safely remove the damaged coat.
- Requirement: Mandatory add-on to the Iron Grade Full Forge Haircut if the coat is deemed "un-brushable" by the Forge Master.
- The Mission: A clean slate for a fresh, healthy journey ahead.
Armor Restoration
A legend’s armor requires maintenance to shine.
For heroes whose armor has become tangled or lightly matted, this process safely untangles the coat and restores its natural flow.
- Time-based add on at $1 per minute.
- Add-on to any bath or haircut. If matting is deemed too severe for restoration without causing pain, the mission will be upgraded to a Forge Reset.
Black Wolf De-Shed
As seasons shift and new journeys call, a hero's armor must be adaptable.
Thick, heavy armor can be a burden, so we venture deep into the undercoat, extracting the dead weight of trapped fur before it takes over your home. For those shedding a smooth, lighter mantle, we hunt down any loose fur—revealing a sleek, luminous coat that echoes the powerful spirit of the wolf in every dog.
- Premium De-Shedding Conditioner to loosen stubborn undercoat.
- Targeted High-Velocity Airflow during and after bath to safely blow out trapped fur.
- Elite Extraction Brushing to further remove shedding hair.
- Available Only as an add-on to the Protector's Bath or Full Forge Haircut.

Flash Fire Express
Keep your hero moving. The trail waits for no one.
For heroes who thrive on the open trail and refuse to be confined, we offer an specialized, direct-path protocol. For an additional charge, the Forge Master works on your companion straight through from start to finish—completely bypassing the holding area to ensure a swift, stress-free return home.
- Direct-Path Protocol: Start-to-finish grooming without any resting pauses in a crate.
- The Comfort Shield: Immediate hands-on care suited for high-anxiety or super-senior heroes.
- Speed & Focus: Prioritizes peace of mind for dogs who dislike the waiting area.
- Note: Many adventurers benefit from periods of rest throughout the session. However, if your dog has high anxiety or reacts poorly to a crate, the Forge Master may recommend or require this protocol for their safety.
