i need help

or in this case, i need advice. i haven't had my hair cut in ummmmmm.....at least 10 months, and so, thinking it was about time, i made an appointment for this saturday. normally i just ask for "the usual" which for the most part involves placing a bowl on my head and cutting, but this time i want something new! and exciting! and fun! i have no idea what that is though. i have this dream where i walk in there with a photo of hair i like (something i have fantasized about but have never actually done) and ask to have it replicated, and she aces the cut, and it looks great! is it possible? i don't know, but i would like to find out. so here is the thing, if you have any suggestions (or links to images) i am all ears, well eyes i guess. i have three days to figure this out, don't let me down, the future of my head depends on it (no pressure though).

last time i got it cut it looked like this, it is now far too long and straggly to post an actual picture of, but you get the idea.
