Are the measurements ( 1/8/ 1/4/ 1/2, 3/4, etc ) printed on the attachemnts to the clipper the length of hair that gets cut off or the length of hair remaining?
Length of hair remaining. Put the 1/2 inch clipper against the head of a girl with 20 inches of hair, and you will have 1/2 inch of hair left on her head. 19.5 inches on the floor.
I think a good professional grade Wahl hair clipper ($50-75) is a great investment...DW has been doing my hair (which I like to keep fairly short) for a couple years now. That's around $40 a month...close to $500 a year...in very easy savings, and I like no longer having to waste a couple hours every month driving to the barber, waiting in the queue, getting the haircut, then driving back.

I have a Wahl Hair cutter and I just measured the hair cutter attachment legnth and the measurement matched the clipper attachment length. So for mine they measure the legnth of hair remaining.
My clippers have whole numbers 1,2,3 etc, not fractions. Don't know why???? I cut my own hair, I am light on the top and keep it short. Since I was unemployed, good way to save some money and cut it the way I like.
As with anything new practice makes perfect so it is with home hair cuts.
My wife has cut my hair , and all 4 of our boys when still at home, for more than 40 years so she is well practiced. Some of the early hair cuts were a bit strange but nothing radical.
The amount of money saved with our home barbering I'm sure runs into the the thousands of $$ over 40 years so we figured that few strange hair cuts early on were worth it.
