Sample dialogue

What would you like today?

Shorter all over, please.

About how much shall I take off?

Cut about three centimetres and trim the ends even, if you would.

Are the split ends bothering you?

Yes. And please do it so the fringe does not fall in my eyes.

Certainly. And what about the colour?

I would like it a bit lighter — do you think it would suit me?

If it is a brownish shade, I think it would suit you very well.
