Cutting the area behind the ears can be difficult but it is important to cut this area close to the skin to achieve a clean, precise line.
To get the best results, tilt the head away. This allows you to get your clippers closer to the back of the ear.
If you think it will help, ask your client to hold their ears down.
Ears
Many people’s ears are not evenly balanced. They can be very large, very small or even different sizes. And some stick out at an angle from the head.
You need to watch for all these characteristics when you are cutting shorter hairstyles.
You also need to know if your client wears glasses or a hearing aid. Both these will affect the finished look of your cut, particularly if you are aiming for a short, sharp look.
