Why do barbers push your edge up back when you specifically tell them not too?

I told my barber to cut my hair short but not too short. After he cut my hair he said he used a number 2 clipper. It was still shorter than I would have liked .. what number clipper should I tell him to use next time so my hair isnt a short?

You might have a receding hairline, they also will push it back it'll grow back faster along with looking ugly to get you back into the barbershop a week later!

I'm pretty sure that the Outliners are 'causing the bumps...
The blades on them are too close and are 'causing irritation!
Only reason I said for people to get the Outliner 2's is 'cause they have a smaller blade.
It's not as long and don't have to worry about cutting too much when shaping their edge up's/line up's along with their beards.
Yes, they are the same electric razor.
Doubt it's them though...?

Regular Man's taper.
Not a bald taper fade.
You'd be able to get it shorter on top if you'd like.
Would help to transition better.
or a Regular Man's Haircut.

I had a conversion post from guards to the how much they take off a few pages back.
Try a 3 guard...
That's 3/8 of an inch left on top.

Have you cleaned the hair in between the blades with blade wash?
Have you oiled them?
Made sure you didn't bend the cord all crazy?

I've been cutting my own for about 7 yrs. decided recently to upgrade. I've been using the fast feeds and the andis pivot pro trimmers with the guards for cuts and beard work and the wahl 5 star detailer for crispy lineups. been giving myself great cuts for years. and through practice got dope at side n back tapers. my fade game is nice.
just reecently copped the andis improved masters and the guard set. planning on copping the fade masters, phat masters and the oster 76. just to have some options. i wish there was a way to try them all before buying, but whatever lol.
any suggestions, or new things/routines to try?

My barber knows never to line me up. Most barbers OD when it comes to line ups. smh. Not a good look when a day or two after your cut you can see the hair growing back from the line up.

General rule in being a barber, if the clippers touch your head it's a haircut.
Whatever the price may be from $12-$25...
Trust me, it's not just take a little off top.
We're going to line you up if you're getting a taper, clean up your neck hair, use product be it gel, powder, etc...
Also spend our time blending/fading in the lines.
Because you getting a 5 by it's self does NOT equal a taper.
That equal's a even all over/college cut.
A taper is when the hair gradually get's longer.
IF you get a 5, we have to use different guards to blend in the 4, 3, 2, 1, and 0/baldness.
Along with leaving no lines/bulks of hair.

Fading takes practice...
You'll get there fam'.
For tapering though you should try the Skip Guard Technique.
Maybe it helps?

I've been cutting my own hair semi regularly for a couple of years now and I still can't line myself up as straight as my barber.
Don't just tell me practice, I've been doing that. What's the technique? I also just replaced the blades on my Andis.
