I have a hair appointment scheduled, and need some advice:

This is me, I apologize for the photo quality, it was not my camera:

This is the cut I want to get:

My hair is medium brown, thick, and fairly straight. It looks wavy because it was humid and my hair air dryed out of the pool.
I am getting dark brown lowlights for a fall color.
I always have to blow my bangs dry to get them straight.

1. Do you think the cut will suit me?
2. Will this haircut be hard to style? (Process, approx time.)

I would appreciate tips about flat irons, especially the mini (travel size) ones. What retail stores can I buy a decent one in Canada?

Thanks!
