These Dogs’ Before And After Haircuts Will Make Your Day

Pet photographer Grace Chon took to the Internet to share an absolutely adorable series titled, “HAIRY,” and you’d better be glad she did.

The photos showcase the cutest dogs before and after a haircut. So, need I say more? Or are you about to burst with excitement already? Yeah, I thought so!

These aren’t your average grooming sessions, either. These dogs were groomed in a Japanese style that involves hours of hand scissoring to complete, Chon wrote on Bored Panda.

“These cuts are works of art,” Chon writes—and I’d have to agree with her.

Now, enough talking and let’s see the puppies, shall we?

1. Yuki

This dog is saying, “Excuse me! I can’t see.”

“Ahh, that’s better. Finally got those bangs out of my face.”

2. Athena

#2 in my new photo series HAIRY. These dogs have all been transformed by the amazingly talented groomers from @HealthySpot, and cut in a Japanese dog grooming style that makes the dog look over the top adorable! From a creative perspective, I wanted to capture dogs with cuts that are a bit more uncommon to us here in the United States. • “Athena Before” • Grooming: Donna Owens of Healthy Spot Lighting: @faintastic @itsashleypoole Retouching and Phtography: Grace Chon • www.gracechon.com | #hairyseries • #gracechoninc #kimknightrepresents #teamcanon #dogsofinstagram #bestwoof #houndsbazaar #doggrooming #healthyspot #mmmexplore#commercialphotography #weeklyfluff #coolhunter #멍스타그램 • Athena was 17 years old and passed away a few months after this shoot. Thank you sweet girl for your beauty and grace. Rest in peace ?❤

Well, isn’t Athena just a lovable fur ball?

Now she’s Athena with the good hair.

3. Teddy

He’s so cute I could just squeeze him.

In fact, I think I will.

4. Raider

All this hair is making Raider grumpy.

There. That’s better.

5. Nala

WOW. Let me just start by saying I never imagined that this series would be so popular! Thank you for all the love, internets!! It’s been so much fun. There’s so much crappy, crazy stuff going on in the world and I’m stoked to provide even 5 seconds of a breather and a smile. Here’s the very last image – #9 in my new photo series HAIRY! • These dogs have all been transformed by the amazingly talented groomers from @HealthySpot, and cut in a Japanese dog grooming style that makes the dog look over the top adorable! • “Nala Before” • Grooming: Alyson Ogimachi of Healthy Spot Lighting: @faintastic @itsashleypoole Retouching and Photography: Grace Chon • #hairyseries #gracechoninc #kimknightrepresents #teamcanon #dogsofinstagram #bestwoof #houndsbazaar #doggrooming #healthyspot #mmmexplore#commercialphotography #weeklyfluff #coolhunter #멍스타그램ialphotography #weeklyfluff #coolhunter #멍스타그램

Poor Nala’s in desperate need of a trim.
