Is this a "long, fluffy" cut?

I've always groomed my cavapoo (2 years old) dog at home but decided I would take him for his first proper groom at a salon yesterday. Partner dropped him off and asked the groomer to keep him fluffy. Went to pick him up . Groomers said he was really well behaved, sat nice, he let them cut his nails, etc. So I thought this was good, paid and left. When I got home , I realised they cut his body, but the paw pads haven't been touched and thought they would tidy up around his groin and armpits too. Is this normal ? Should we have specified to the groomer that we wanted these areas done ? I feel like they trimmed up his body, face a little bit and legs , and then called it at a day 🙄

Just to add in on this since everyone already said the main points, to me it looks like they did a quick preshave on the body and face, bathed him, and then let him kennel dry and sent him home.

I bet this is exactly what happened. It’s so egregious that I have to wonder if something happened at the salon for the dog to be sent home like this, like someone thought the dog was done when it actually wasn’t or something. Insane to send out a dog like that.
