Cut two inches short?

Hi! everyone.

Could you clarify that when one asks a barber "to cut the hair two inches short" does he mean that after the haircut the hair left will be 2 inches in length?

And what does it mean when someone says "cut the hair two inches shorter"?

Thanks

These are what I say:

I'd like my hair (cut so that it is) two inches shorter (than it is now.)
