To ask nicely to make it a little bit shorter would be :

少し｛すこし｝短く｛みじかく｝してください

I will leave it up to you would be :

任せます｛まかせます｝

I suppose you come sum it up with something like :

少し｛すこし｝短く｛みじかく｝してください、細かい｛こまかい｝事｛こと｝は、任せます｛まかせます｝。

Which would basically translate to something like :

Please make it slightly shorter, I will leave the details to you.

The answers of others are correct.
If you're worried, just bring a picture of the hair style of another person you like or a picture of your own favorite hairstyle and say "I want to have my hair cut like this. このようにしてください kono-yohni-shite-kudasai".
