If you’re looking to give your furry clients the irresistibly adorable and soft “teddy bear” look, you’re in the right place. Asian Fusion dog grooming has become one of the most sought-after grooming styles in recent years, particularly for small and medium-sized breeds like Poodles, Shih Tzus, and Maltese.
With its signature rounded and soft appearance, the teddy bear cut brings out a dog’s cute, cuddly side. So, how can you master this technique? Let’s dive into the world of Asian Fusion grooming and explore how the Clipit Asian Fusion 6.5" Scissor Set can help you create the perfect teddy bear look.
What is Asian Fusion Dog Grooming?
Asian Fusion dog grooming is a technique that combines various elements of traditional Asian dog grooming styles, such as the Korean or Japanese cuts, with modern, creative touches. The goal is to achieve a very soft, rounded appearance that enhances the dog’s natural features while keeping them looking youthful and fluffy. Unlike more traditional cuts that focus on structure and precision, Asian Fusion prioritises a relaxed, voluminous, and cute finish.
The signature teddy bear look—rounded faces, soft and puffy bodies, and fluffy, plush legs—is achieved through careful scissor work, blending and texturing fur to create a full, soft coat that retains movement and liveliness.
A Guide to Asian Fusion Dog Grooming - The Teddy Bear Look
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you create the perfect teddy bear look using the Clipit Asian Fusion 6.5" Scissor Set.
1. Start with a Clean, Dry Coat
Before you start cutting, ensure the dog’s coat is clean, dry, and brushed out. Any tangles or mats can interfere with your scissors, so take the time to carefully detangle the coat. A well-prepped coat will give you the best results and a more even finish.
2. Shape the Head and Face
The teddy bear look is all about soft, rounded faces. Use the Clipit 6.5" straight scissors to carefully shape the outline of the dog’s face, focusing on rounding the cheeks, chin, and top of the head. Make sure to follow the natural contours of the dog’s face, always aiming for a soft curve rather than sharp angles.
3. Texturise the Body
After shaping the face, it’s time to focus on the body. To create a soft and full look, use the Clipit texturising scissors to add volume and shape. Work in small sections, blending the fur to create a fluffy, rounded silhouette. Remember, the goal is to maintain the dog’s natural shape while enhancing its cuteness with a voluminous, soft look.
4. Work on the Legs
For a true teddy bear appearance, you’ll want the legs to look thick, fluffy, and uniform. Use your Clipit 6.5” curved scissors to round the edges of the legs and make them fuller, giving them the appearance of little plush teddy bear paws. Be sure to blend the fur so it transitions smoothly from the body to the paws, creating a natural, soft outline.
5. Finishing Touches
Once the body, head, and legs are shaped, take a step back and assess the overall look. Adjust any uneven areas, keeping everything balanced. You can use the Clipit Asian Fusion 6.5" scissors for any final trimming, focusing on rounding any sharp edges and adding texture where needed.

Pro Tips to achieve the Perfect Teddy Bear Cut
Work in Small Sections: Take your time and work in small sections for more control. This is especially helpful for creating a seamless, smooth look.
Blending Is Key: Blending different sections of fur is critical for achieving the soft, seamless transition that defines the teddy bear look.
Use Your Fingers for Control: When trimming around the face and legs, use your fingers to gently hold the fur in place. This will help you cut more accurately and avoid making any sharp cuts.
Use the Right Scissors for the Right Job: Don’t be afraid to switch between the straight, curved, and texturising scissors to achieve the best results for each part of the cut.
