All they see is their profile. You don’t want them to see that?
When someone logs in, the dashboard popups with ‘howdy… , edit profile, log out, a search icon and on the left of the page yoursite > dashboard, about wordpress, wordpress.org …..
I want to get rid of all of these and have a front end profile edit.
What theme are you using? The default theme has no search icon on the right and on the left it is yoursite, dashboard, profile.

I’m using DynamiX but it’s the same with all themes; including twenty eleven.
You’re talking about the toolbar, not the dashboard. (“Dashboard” refers to the main page of the admin.)
You can hide the toolbar on the front-end of the site for lower-powered users like so:
// show admin bar only for admins and editors
if (!current_user_can('edit_posts'))
{ add_filter('show_admin_bar', '__return_false'); }
You’ll also want to redirect users’ logins so that after they’ve successfully logged in they’re returned to the current page (or their front-end profiles, or whatever else you want) instead of being sent to the admin.
Thank God at last.. Thank you vert much Amy. I found a plugin to do this is well for anyone else;

Glad you worked it out.
Here is the default toolbar, http://tsaidiots.com/subdashboard.tif as I see it. I don’t know why it was different than yours.
