A hairy situation

Everyone's been there...the moment in your existence where no matter what you do with it your hair pisses you off! Even my hair seems to be getting sick of itself as instead of bouncy curls and waves it just hangs listlessly past my shoulders. Sadly my favorite hairdresser has dissappeared so I need to go hunting for a new one and I am dying for a dye job! A major dye job...I'm thinking a copper red or something along those lines. Any suggestions? I'm deadly pale so most colors work for me...and I am not going blonde! Mostly because I don't have the money/patience for the upkeep. Does anybody know any good hairdressers that are good with hair and don't charge a fortune? I think my hair might be depressed so if anybody can get me a good hairdresser who can work as a therapist as well I will reward you with a hug!
