| The numbers used on Korean clippers usually refer to the length in millimeters - so not the same. Number 4 in the UK = 12mm, no 3 = 9mm, etc. So you'd need to ask them to set the clippers to 12mm, if you mention no. 4 they'll probably be confused. |

| I remember asking for a grade 4 all over and she literally did a 4mm (or closest setting) all over! Obviously, it was too late once she started. |

| Anyone know where to buy a good pair of clippers? I'm tired of forking out 15000won for a haircut every month. |
