In the US I usually ask for the following:
A #2 (top) to #1 (bottom) fade on the sides and neck
The neckline grows way too low so I ask them to cut that to a certain length
Half an inch off the top
Cut the sideburns to a certain point
I really don't know how to ask for this in China, and I searched online and the answers are rather inconsistent. Any ideas?
A #2 (top) to #1 (bottom) fade on the sides and neck
上面二号，旁边和脖子一号的渐变式发型
Half an inch off the top
上面剪短半寸
Cut the sideburns to [this] point
把鬓角剪到这里
I had some trouble finding a translation of neckline, especially since the definition of neckline as in beard isn’t even in English dictionaries.
"The neckline grows way too low so I ask them to cut that to a certain length",
Try 把后面的头发往上剪 or 把后面的头发往上剃一些
Cut the sideburns to a certain point
Try 把鬓角往上剃一些.
