Abstract
A device for trimming bangs having a comb sleeve into which fits a primary comb for combing and holding the bangs in position against a cutting surface. The cutting surface and sleeve may form a single structure which is placed against the forehead and held in position by the user with an attached handle. A rotatable cutting blade travels along the cutting surface to cut the bangs.
Claims31
