Method for defining a standardized procedure for a haircut, a code for defining a haircut, and a method for giving a haircut

Abstract

A method for defining a standardized procedure for a predetermined haircut comprises defining two or more sections of hair on a subject, defining two or more geographic checkpoints on the group consisting of the face, head, neck, and body, wherein each of the geographic checkpoints is generic to a large number of subjects, and defining at least one vector hairway, wherein the at least one vector hairway corresponds to one of the sections of hair and two or more of the geographic checkpoints, further wherein the at least one vector hairway defines a path upon which hair is cut. A code for use in defining a standardized procedure for a predetermined haircut and a method for giving a haircut based upon a standardized procedure are also disclosed.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to the field of cutting hair and, more particularly, to techniques for defining a standardized procedure for a predetermined haircut.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The human head includes about 100,000 strands of hair on average with each strand constantly growing at a rate around one and one half centimeter per month. This constant growth requires cutting on average of every 4 to 6 weeks, but that requirement depends on the individual and the appearance they wish to present. Therefore, individuals make frequent trips to beauty salons to receive haircuts.[0003]When an individual goes to a beauty salon for a haircut, they may or may not have some idea about what type of haircut they desire. If the individual has never had their haircut by a particular beautician, that individual will have to verbally explain to the beautician what type of haircut they desire and may even use pictures of themselves or models to furt...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The photograph of a haircut will only give a rough idea of the haircut's shape and it is difficult for beauticians to analyze a haircut off a picture alone.

Even if the customer desires the same haircut it received during a previous trip to the same beautician, it will be difficult for the beautician to exactly replicate the results on memory alone or even with the assistance of a photograph.

Therefore, there exists the problem of unreliability in the communications between a customer and a beautician which can lead to the customer feeling dissatisfied with the results of the haircut.

Additionally, there exists a problem of reproducibility for a beautician trying to repeat a haircut he or she performed in the past.

Additionally, there are problems in teaching interested individuals how to cut hair.

The current conventional techniques and methods of haircutting require artistic ability because of the lack of a logical, mechanical process for haircutting and the lack of precise communications, reliability, and reproducibility discussed herein.
