Some hair question. I need a new style!

Hi everyone.
I am new here. In fact this is my first post!

I will cut to the chase.
I really want a professionally done hair style. I want a matte blow dry kinda look. I have seen many Bed Head Tigi products, are these good?
I am going to go down to a salon tomorrow and ask them.
The problem is my hair has a really fluffy texture and has clow licks (is that what you call them?) I put gel and stuff in everyday but nothing seems to last and it looks terrible.

So my question is:- Is it possible for me to get a new hair look? and are salons worth it?

I will post pictures if any of you want to see my hair first.


Thanks  =D
