A programmable hair trimming system has a hair trimming device including a receiving element configured to receive an electromagnetic field and at least one source element having an electromagnetic field source. The hair cutting length of the hair trimming device is adjustable, and the at least one source element is external to the hair trimming device and arranged to be placed in a fixed relationship to the head of a person. The hair trimming system is arranged to detect, by an electromagnetic tracking system, the position of the hair trimming device in relation to the at least one source element. Further the hair trimming system relates this position to a previously generated hair length profile data regarding the desired hair trimming length at various positions. Based on the desired hair trimming length at the sensed position, the trimmer cutting length is automatically and dynamically adjusted.

A hair styling device for a hairstylist includes a housing configured to be attachable to a styling tool such as a comb, an electronic-based alignment means that determines the angle of orientation of the housing, and a user-actuated operational control for selecting the housing's desired angle of orientation. The electronic-based alignment means provides a human-perceivable indication of the angle of orientation and can be selectively locked to a desired angle. The electronic-based alignment means also selectively provides a human-perceivable indication when the housing is approaching and has arrived at the desired angle.

A device for guiding grooming of facial hair on a face and methods for using the device are disclosed. The device may include a strip of flexible material with an adhesive surface. The adhesive surface may temporarily attach the strip to a face having at least some facial hair. At least one edge of the strip may have a selected shape. The strip may be positioned on the face to cover a portion of the facial hair to be retained on the face while allowing an exposed portion of the facial hair to be removed by a shaving device. At least some part of the exposed portion of the facial hair lies along the edge of the strip with the selected shape.

A split end removal comb. This comb includes an outer shell which houses an inner shell of similar shape but smaller dimensions, and a handle, which houses an electromechanical assembly. The inner comb can slide to a lock position inside the upper part of the outer comb, whereby the hair can be stretched away from the scalp and bent into divided strands. In this position, the blades mounted on the teeth of the inner comb, which can be powered by a motor, can be activated through a shaft running through the perpendicular axis of the device thereby trimming the tips of the hair, as it is being combed by the user. During operation, the hair goes through channels created by the multi-planar arrays of a plurality of teeth, ridges, and blades arranged along various angles and distances. This results in a safe and easy trimming of split ends.

A multifunctional grooming template and stencil designed to be an all-in-one tool used to assist the user in cutting, trimming, shaping and drawing of the eyebrows, hairline, mustache, sideburns, beard and goatee facial patterns provided on the template. The design allows for simplistic shaping of each facial feature by allowing minimal adjustments for each section while the template is overlaid on the face and head. Straps are adjustable, elastic and removable so they can be removed at the user's discretion and fit all size heads and faces in various orientations. This feature enables hands free options. Slots are placed so that the invention can be mounted to the face and head in various orientations using the straps.

A wide variety of shapes and curves comprise the template to maximize grooming by allowing the user to fill in, trim or cut the pattern of their choice with ease consistency.
