/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I'm desperate for some color advice, either for the DIY route or just for finding a stylist that isn't a moron. I've been trying to get subtle highlights done for what seems like the last 2 years and not one fucking stylist I've seen in this city seems to know how to do them. I've hit up Yelp, talked to friends, gone to hole in the wall places and ended up with everything from huge fucking chunky white streaks to highlighter yellow streaks , to overtoned nonsense but nothing like what I'm asking for or showing them. Nothing ever ends up blended or looking even semi-close to natural. Pic related is what I'm going for and the exact fucking picture I keep giving.

I've got that honey blonde base already, literally all they have to do is is lift some sections just a little bit to add dimension to my already blonde hair but for whatever reason no one seems able to do it. I feel like it shouldn't be this hard to get subtle dimensional highlights added to an already solid color.
