A haircut changes more than length. Layers can redistribute weight, bring movement into the ends and change how a style sits around your face.
Bring a reference you like, but also explain what your hair does on an ordinary day. A cut that looks good after a salon blow-dry needs to work with your natural texture and the time you actually spend styling it. Discuss the shortest layer and how much length you want to keep before cutting begins.
Your natural texture, the length to retain, your usual parting and how often you use heat.
