Ryan Cabrera

There's several different issues going on here. The first and most important, is the length of Ryan's hair. You cannot achieve his look with short hair, because you cannot highlight the sides and back to match the top, which is the key to his overall color. If your hair is very short, then you can have just the front subtley highlighted if you like the look that Ricky Martin made popular years ago, or you can have heavier highlighting all over the top to achieve Ryan Seacrest's highlighted, spikey look. As far as highlights that are too yellow or orange, either the hairdresser wasn't using frosting bleach, or it wasn't left on long enough. Either way, find a new hairdresser and salon. By using frosting bleach and a dryer, it is very easy to bring even the darkest hair to the lightest blonde shade or even white if left on too long. Much more skill, however, is required to avoid the stripey look, which is yet another issue, usually caused by too few highlights, or too much contrast between the shade of blonde of the highlights and your natural color. A toner will definitely help "tone down" this contrast. Again, if your hairdresser didn't already know or do this, then find a new salon. Find a photo in a celebrity or teen magazine, and take that with you to a decent (doesn't have to be the most expensive) salon, and you should find what you're looking for. Hope this helps.
