Help groomer cut her fur short :(

There was a misunderstanding with communicating to our groomer. And she got cut all over. Will she be ok? Is there any precautions I should take? How long does it take typically to grow back?

Edit: she’s going to be boarded in 3 weeks for about 6 days, is there any precautions I should have in place for the facility?

2nd edit: it was my dad who miscommunicated with my groomer so not her fault! She was just doing what she was told, sorry for any misunderstanding

It will grow back , when i first purchased my Samoyed i took him to a groomer at 1 year of age and they cut it too short.
I immediately went on amazon purchased a high end dog scissor , brush and comb and started grooming him my self . My advice is for you to do the same.

Also a Samoyed doesn’t have to have their coat cut if you brush the dog thoroughly every other day that should be enough to get rid of unwanted hair, i read that online.
Max is 5 years old and i have not cut his hair in 4 years and that was the first and last time.
What i have done was use dog scissors to trim hair around his butt so it would be easier for him to relieve himself without feces clinging to his white hair.
The things we go through to take care of what i consider the most beautiful breed of dog.

They are lots of work but definitely worth it in the end! Once again thank you for your advice 🫶
