What should I do?

I want to go blonde or mainly get highlights. Blonde/carmel highlights.

I just will be keeping the length and cut. Just need a change. Never colored or did anything to my hair before.

A month ago I was cheated on and went through a breakup, 3 weeks ago my close grandmother passed away, and last week I found out that my dog has a cancerous tumor and may not make it to his birthday in November. Honestly just having a shitty time right now and want to do something to get my spirits back up a bit.

Any ideas, locations, or reccomdendations very welcome! ❤

Pictures to show style color and length. Not too much going on, very dark brown and long.

Thanks much!
