SECRET: Ask For a Cut, But Don't Talk Inches
秘密10:剪发时别用“英寸”来衡量长度

Hair styling is a game of inches. At least, that’s what clients think, often asking for a stylist to take off “2 inches” or some other preferred measurement. But people – from the stylist to the client – have different ideas of a what an inch is.
头发造型就是一个尺寸的游戏。至少顾客是这么认为的,她们总是让发型师剪短“2英寸”或者用其他长度单位来衡量。但从发型师到顾客,每个人对于英寸的概念都不同。

Instead, use your thumb and finger to demonstrate how much you want cut off. At that point, it doesn’t matter if that’s 3 inches to you and 2 inches to your stylist, because you’re looking at the same measurement.
你应该用手指来比划想减掉的长度。这样,哪怕你眼中的3英寸是发型师眼中的2英寸也没关系了,因为你们看到的是同一个衡量标准。
