Martijn Went to get a bit of a trim, returned with 50% less hair.

Eric Which numbers do you get?

Martijn Numbers?

Eric Different numbers are different lengths, I get a number 4 back & sides and usually a 5 or 6 on top. ehow.co.uk/facts_5... Are these things not used world wide?

Martijn I have never, ever, heard about that! Not back in the Netherlands nor here in Sweden. Don't recall having seen it in Germany either, though full disclosure, I have never had my haircut whilst in that country.

Eric hahaha, that's surprising, I had these down as a being a world wide thing.

Martijn It is an interesting concept though, it would definitely make it easier to switch hairdressers when you can go by numbers.
