Abstract
A curved trimming profile device forms an elongated curved aperture shaped to border a portion of the ear. The device is placed in an area over the user's ear with the hair in need of a trim being pressed between the device and the user's skin. The device forms an aperture allowing a razor or clipper blades to reach hair on the scalp under the device through the aperture. The razor or clipper blades travel along the surface of the user's skin, guided by the aperture, to trim hair along the line and within the area of the aperture. The device may be used on either ear.
