How to Style a Schnauzer

When picturing a Schnauzer, most people envision their classic “puppy cut.” Body hair is clipped short, while eyebrows and whiskers remain longer for an adorable appearance.

The Classic

Schnauzers have an iconic appearance. To maintain this feature, allow his facial hair to grow longer before trimming it back with scissors for an effortless, low-maintenance style. This style keeps body hair approximately an inch shorter than other cuts, helping your dog remain cool on warm days.

The Mohawk

The Mohawk Schnauzer haircut is a popular look that involves shortening the fur on the head, ears, and side of the face while leaving the body and muzzle hair longer. Trimming eyebrows to resemble beard or mustache hair is also part of this cut. This style can be seen among both male and female Schnauzers.

The Teddy Bear

The Teddy Bear Cut is a soft and adorable style that highlights the fullness of a Schnauzer’s facial features. Head hair is cut short, with mustaches and eyebrows at a medium length. This style can be accessorized with bows or ribbons for a cuter finish.

The Long Bangs

This haircut for Schnauzers involves keeping their beard and eyebrow hair long while their body and belly coats remain short. It provides low maintenance in warmer climates and can be done on both puppies and mature Schnauzers. The hair around their face and ears is kept short, while the beard and eyebrows are trimmed for an aesthetically pleasing result. Paws and tail length should remain longer, while snout hair can be rounded and cut for a dapper appearance.
