This happened to me at a haircut place. They asked for a number and i didnt know what it meant so i said a random number (I think I said 1) and my haircut was way too short but i pretended to like it lmaoooo. This was in like 2014.

Normally people would say nice haircut out of politeness at least but this was the one haircut in my life where someone asked me what happened to my hair.

I believe hair clipper numbering is done by 1/8 of an inch. So like a 4 is 1/2"

I mean a 1 is very small.

Not uncommon for men to come in and just say the clipper number. Honestly though I have no idea how I learned 2 was the length on the side I wanted. Probably it was this exact scenario I just guessed right.
