Andis unveils collab with celebrity groomer and viral sensation Gabriel Feitosa
STURTEVANT, Wis., Dec. 1, 2023 — Andis® Company, a leading manufacturer of grooming tools, announced a partnership with award-winning celebrity pet groomer Gabriel Feitosa. This latest addition to the Andis Creative Collab Series tools brings Feitosa fans a limited-edition colorway of the popular Pulse ZR® II cordless clipper. The design is inspired by Gabriel’s viral exotic pet grooms popular on TikTok.
Dedicated to demonstrating the artistry, creativity and passion of Andis’ top creators, the Creative Collab Series tools reflect each of the professionals who inspire them. With 10,000 dollars going to the RedRover Foundation for animals in crisis, purchasing this stylish new clipper will benefit the animals, veterinarians, and groomers who are part of RedRover’s programs.
“Even early in my career, I loved using my creativity to showcase dogs,” said Gabriel. “When I started talking to Andis about this clipper collab I knew I wanted to do something with the Pulse ZR II clipper – this clipper is my right hand in the salon and it only made sense that we collab around my favorite tool. Getting to share my spin on the tool while opening an opportunity to give back to animals in need is an incredible honor.”
Speaking on the charitable aspect of the partnership, Andis Foundation President and Andis Company Co-CEO, Laura Andis Bishop said, “We are extremely excited that because of this collab, Andis Foundation will donate up to $10,000 to RedRover as it works to bring animals out of crisis through emergency sheltering, disaster relief services, financial assistance and education. In addition, we will also be donating to the San Diego Humane Society, where our friend Gabriel volunteers his grooming time to help pets find their forever homes.”
Feitosa, a native of São Paulo, Brazil, opened Gabriel Feitosa Grooming Salon in San Diego, California, in 2018. Today, it is a booming enterprise with 10 employees grooming about 20 dogs a day and at least 500 per month.
Many clients take their furry friends to Feitosa for more than a haircut. Known as a dog grooming artist, Feitosa combines traditional grooming with artistic expression using vegan pet-friendly dyes to conjure up visually dramatic creations. Those works of grooming artistry have resulted in Feitosa amassing over 2 million followers on TikTok and over 850,000 on Instagram.

@gabrielfeitosagrooming This is so surreal, can’t believe I’m announcing my own clipper collab with Andis after all these years grooming with their tools. I love how the Pulse ZR II Wild Clipper turned out and I hope you enjoy this beast as much as I do. #ANDISxGabrielfeitosa #ANDISGROOMING #andiscollabs ♬ original sound – Gabe
