Benefits of technology

[0010] The present invention, in its preferred embodiment, discloses an eyebrow guide configured as an adjustable facial frame designed to be centered over the nose and having a pair of selectively shaped and positioned eyebrow templates for use in guiding the appliance used to shape, color, shave, cut or otherwise cosmetically treat the user's eyebrows. The frame comprises a nosepiece designed to overly the nose to both center and stabilize the guide. The frame also has a pair of opposed side members which extend from the nosepiece toward and over the ears in a manner similar to conventional eyeglass frames to further stabilize and support the guide. Intermediate of the eyebrow templates and the nose piece is a three-piece, double hinged member designed to provide adjustment for virtually any facial dimensions in regard to distance between the eyebrows and the nose as well as their relative depth. In addition, the upper portion of this double-hinged member provides a dial for eyebrow angle adjustment for the templates. Typically, the higher the angle the more exotic the eyebrows appear and the lower the angle, the more conventional they appear.
