The Lion Cut involves shaving the body while leaving fur on the head, legs, and, if requested, the chest and tail.
While it gives a bold appearance, this groom is highly beneficial—it prevents and removes matting, reduces fur ingestion, supports skin health, and can aid in temperature regulation.
Often used to "reset" the coat, it’s a practical choice for easier at-home maintenance.

Report Card
This groom is Sustainable Salon Certified - to help reduce environmental impact!
This style has the typical #10 blade body with furry booties, but has a gorgeous scissored round head. It's often matched with a shaved tail with pom-pom on the end.
This one looks particularly cute on brachycephalic cats like Persians, Exotic Shorthairs and Himalayans.
This style has the typical #10 blade body with furry booties, but also a lucious mane that covers the chest and the back of the neck right up to between the shoulder blades. It is often paired with a natural, bushy tail to give balance to the look.
This looks gorgeous on cats that have hair that forms a natural mane like Maine Coons, Norwegian Forest Cats and many Domestic Longhaired Cats.
If your kitty gets a Lion Cut and you decide you'd like to grow it back to it's full natural coat, expect a few months before it gets its floofiness back.
If it has had a tradiitonal Lion Cut on a #10 blade, a general guide is:
Short Haired Cats - 2 to 3 months
Medium Haired Cats - 3 to 4 months
Long Haired Cats - 5-6 months
As you can see in the image however, it is only about a month before the cat has a full covering of short hair.
