looking for decently priced stylist good with bobs and color/highlight

[Anonymous]

HI!

I need an upper body/ face makeover! That's all I can afford now. I have thick dark hair and usually go to Ozuki Salon in Georgetown. I asked my stylist for an inverted bob last time I went and while it looks nice, there is barely an angle and she didn't do anything special with the back. She didn't thin out my hair so it looks like a big mushroom.
Also, I have ben dying my own hair using those dyes that claim to get your hair lighter but every time i do a home-dye, my hair turns out dark. Now it's almost blakc. I look so dull and sad. I am having ome self confidence issues right now and need suggestions on a stylist who can give me an awesome bob and a cool hair color with highlights. Know anybody?
TIA
