Good morning, everyone. Could you please help me with this sentence? I wonder if I can use "as" in this situation:

Example 1: Please cut my hair the same length as the style in this magazine.
Example 2: Please cut my hair the same length like the style in this magazine.

I think using "like" in the example 2 is correct, isn't it? Thank you for your help in advance.

No, you can't use like. If you use the same, you have to use as.

the same ... as ...

:-o Thank you very much. I didn't think of the phrase the same...as... . If I cross out the phrase in the following sentence, like is correct?

Example 3: Please cut my hair like the style in this magazine.
