Looking for colorist/salon recommendations for a trendy updated look I searched past threads, but they all seemed pretty dated. I desperately need a change from my shoulder-length dark brown virgin hair and am looking for a colorist who is experienced in (and up to date with) hair color trends like pastels, gray, platinum blonde. I've tried looking for Austin salons on Yelp, but I didn't find anywhere specializing in these specific styles. I've been pretty DIY with my hair in the past, but I'm thinking in this case I should probably go to a salon!
Can anyone point me in the right direction? OR, if you have had pretty good results in bleaching your own hair for the purpose of getting it to a pastel color or gray, can you give me some tips and a pep talk? Thanks!
EDIT: Thanks for all the replies!

I don't know about what you're looking for specifically but the last time I made a major hairstyle change I went to [Jose Luis Salon](http://www.joseluissalon.com/). It was just *before* ombre was really in and my stylist was trying to convince me to do it but I thought it was too weird. I should have listened to her; I would have been so cutting edge! My point is, from what I saw they have a stylists with varying degrees of skill and specialty so you could probably call up there and talk to them about this and they'd have just the person with umpteen years of experience.
