VERY much agree. I'm the queen of coloring my hair. A big question that your hairdresser will need to know is if you have already colored your hair. Do you have any bleach in your hair? Permanent dye? These things will all alter how the color comes out and how long it will stay.
My hair was highlighted heavily blonde and lowlighted dark brown, since my natural color is a medium brown. I wanted the same red you posted, with black underneath and black lowlights. I had it done October 8th. By October 25th, the black had stayed but the red was now a light brown with reddish tint.
And if you're looking for styles, you could try the peekaboo hilight technique. The top of your hair is separated from the bottom in a star-type shape (your stylist will understand that). The hilights (or lowlights) are then sliced into your hair. The picture that epchick posted with teh blonde and black is pretty much the concept. I have mine with my natural brown hair with blonde sliced in. It's a great style if you have layered hair. If not it's pointless.
