I always manage to get into trouble at salons when I bring in my picture & my ideas and they say "No, but I Can do this" without thinking I do it... And end up hating it.
So this is my plan
My hair is black, salon black (not drugstore black ) & i want to add a burgundy blob at the top side.
Would it be possible to lift/bleach my hair to a color that burgundy can go over in one sitting?
this is what i mean by "blob"

this color

& then have the rest of my black dyed the "blue black" / "indigo black" like this http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c350/bigb00/fgfg.jpg - http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c350/bigb00/fgfg.jpg
And how would be the best way to describe this to the hairdresser?

You did a pretty good job describing it, I'd bring a picture and if they don't want to do it how you want it, go somewhere else.  They should be able to lift a chunk of hair to an orangy shade that they can then dye burgundy in one sitting.

Yes most def. go somewhere else if they won't do it. I've always had this problem with salons that's why I tend to do my own hair. They tend to treat me like an idiot and make me feel stupid if I suggest anything. But bring in the pictures and describe it to them and don't back down.... or go somewhere else. It's your right to do what they please. You don't go to a clothing store, say you want to buy a shirt and the sales person says, "oh no that won't look good on you." and they don't sell it to you....
