Claim:
A method of styling a patron's hair to have a tapered appearance along a head-encircling lower edge thereof comprising the steps of: A. using a hair-cutting guide having a cylindrical body, a slot oriented lengthwise of said body, and a comb with a base having teeth extending therefrom, said comb base having an operative position disposed in said slot; B. placing said hair-cutting guide beneath hair strands of a selected extent of not less than three groups which are to be styled in a horizontally oriented condition with said comb teeth extending beneath said three hair strand groups and radially therefrom and in contact with said patron's scalp; C. rotating said cylindrical body of said hair-cutting guide from a starting position of movement adjacent a patron's scalp to a first position of movement subtending a first acute angle effective in drawing taut comb teeth-engaged hair strands of all said three groups in extended relation from scalp follicles thereof to said comb teeth; D. using as a cutting guide said comb teeth in said rotated position thereof in cutting off only said first group in an external condition of said three groups; E. rotating said cylindrical body of said hair-cutting guide from said starting position to a next second position of rotation subtending a second acute angle effective in drawing taut said hair strands of said second group in an intermediate condition of said three groups; F. cutting off said hair strands of said second group extending outwardly and along said comb teeth; G. rotating said cylindrical body of said hair cutting guide from said second position of movement to a third position of movement subtending a third acute angle effective in drawing taut said hair strands of said third group in an inner condition of said three groups; and H. cutting off said hair strands of said third group extending outwardly and along said comb teeth; whereby said cut ends of said three groups of hair strands provide a tapered appearance as results from the progressively longer lengths thereof.
