getting cut and colors. Suggestions. Pics

I am a 17 year old male, I want to get my hair cut and colored. Currently it is like a medium brown and covers my ears and half of my eyes, I have to put it towards the side to see lol. My hair curls at the tip of my bangs and sides so I think I am going to have to get a straightener after I cut it. It is also like 2 inches long in the back (from the bottom of where the hair grows) and that curls up.

I want to get it cut short in the back and trimmed on the sides and front. I still want the bangs to be close to my eyes though. Does anyone have any pictures of like the kids with straight hair on the sides and front.

Now onto the colors I want to get some dark browns and dark reds put in my medium brown hair.

I'll post a pic of my hair soon so you can see what color and length I am talking about.

Any comments and suggestions?
