Showing a photo (์ฌ์ง ๋ณด์ฌ๋๋ฆด๊ฒ์) is completely normal and appreciated. Saying ๋๋ฌด ์งง์ง ์๊ฒ ํด ์ฃผ์ธ์ (don't make it too short) early is a wise move. Koreans also often request specific centimeters rather than vague descriptions like "a little off."

Pitfall: ์ธต์ ๋ฃ๋ค vs. ๋นผ๋ค
์ธต์ ๋ฃ์ด ์ฃผ์ธ์ = ADD layers (more texture). ์ธต์ ๋นผ ์ฃผ์ธ์ = REMOVE layers (flatter, smoother). These are opposite requests. Confusing them gives you the exact opposite of what you wanted!
