Haircuts for my boyfriend!

am
So my boyfriend's mom had been talking to me about cutting his hair. It is almost to the length of his shoulders and yellowish-blue. It was bright blue but the dye is washing out and it is starting to look... Bad. Don't get me wrong, I really like him, but his mom isn't the only person who thinks it's time for a haircut. He doesn't want your basic shaved 2016 hairstyle, but I am struggling to find something he likes. Any ideas? Please comment with photos!!
