An improved method of applying color to hair includes gripping the hair between a pair of panels having nonlinear edges. While the hair is gripped between the panels, a hair coloring agent is applied to the portion of the hair extending outwardly from the nonlinear edges on the panels. Heat is applied to the hair to expedite the coloring of the hair. The panels are then moved outwardly along the hair and the hair is cut along the nonlinear edges of the panels.

An improved apparatus for cutting hair includes a pair of panels which are pivotally interconnected for movement between an open position in which the panels are spaced apart from each other and a closed position in which major sides of the panels are disposed in a side-by-side relationship. Each of the panels has a nonlinear pattern edge portion which is used to guide a haircutting device, such as scissors or a razor, or clippers along a nonlinear path. The pattern edge portions of the two panels have the same configuration with crests projecting outwardly away from base edge portions of the panels and troughs between the crests. In order to comb the hair and retain it against sidewise movement along the pattern edge portions, a large number of bristles extend outwardly from a major side of one of the panels. The hair is laid across the bristles when the panels are in the open position. The other panel is then clamped against the bristles to hold the hair.
