Sure. I'm no expert, but I'd say it should be easy to do with your texture.

well.....my hair is not as smooth/straight as 3C, but it's not as nappy as 4A(but it's very close to 4A).



I'd say I'm a 3D :)

It depends on what texture hair you have. Mixed hair comes in all textures just like everyone elses and isn't a type in itself. So there is no telling
 
Perhaps you should find out what type hair you have, first off. (i.e. type 1, 2, 3, or 4 and then identify the letter type)
 
I will find the link for you.

You have to go and see.
 
No one can tell you for sure what a salonist will do, only the salonist in question can do that.

IMO if the stylist is really a 'good diverse stylist' she or he should be able to style any texture of hair. If not then I would suggest finding someone who is diverse with the many different hair textures thats out here.
