Most groomers will not handstrip westies as it takes a long time. I also find that not many groomers know how to groom the head and tail properly.
If you get your westies from reputable breeders especially those who show their westies, they should be able to show you how to handstrip or do it for a fee. It is important that you go to someone who knows what they are doing. Handstripping is best for westies as the coat remains harsh and tends to stay cleaner. You can contact the Westie Club of QLD at:

They can refer you to westie exhibitors who groom westies!
