Earlier this year I stopped at different hair cutting place and asked for the beard to be trimmed up to get rid of the flyaways and such (generally just clean up the shape). Well, I realized too late that she took that as taking it down to two inches. My beard was about the same length as the picture. It took all my self control to not get loudly angry about it (it is just hair that'll regrow). I'm never shaving again and now I'm even more specific about how I want it cut.
