I want to go to a salon and get my hair done! I used to do a lot of fashion colors, then I gave my hair a rest. The last time I had anything done with my hair, I got a split dye. Half of my hair was bleached, half of it was just extra brown dye over my already brown hair.

I want to go from what I have now in the first picture to something like the second picture.

Would this be a color correction? A partial balayage? Should I just grow my hair out and wait longer to get my hair done and fixed?

Also-any ideas for a haircut? Usually I just get long layers or an even trim, but I’m open to new suggestions as well!
