What about this one? http://www.2hairstyles.com/mid4.shtml
Angled bangs are awesome. So versatile. That's what I have. I got my hair chopped last night. It was nearly all the way down my back, now it 2 inches past my shoulders. I got a simple cut this time. I always get layers, and this time I got two layers: one that flips under, and the longer layer flips out. It's parted on the side. I look hideous with it parted down the middle. LOL I think you would look good with my cut with it around your shoulders and some angled bangs right at your nose.
I like this one alot!! I think it's really a neat cut. I had long hair for a LONG time and I got it cut a little shorter and then shorter....... The last time I went in, I told her that I wanted something different, totally different and we looked at books and she helped me pick a cut/style according to my face shape and the fact that my hair is naturally curly but I can wear it straight too. Anyway, it's the shortest style i have ever had, never thought I would get my hair this short and I LOVE it. I get compliments on it all of the time and it's SO easy. I can actually blow dry it curly and it looks good and takes maybe 10 min to do. My style has layers, it's a little longer in front/sides and shorter in the back and I have bangs. Hope this helps, can't wait to see what you decide to have done.

I would recommend an Aveda salon... Their products are awesome, and from reading your posts, I think you would agree. They have awesome stylists, and products that are out of this world. They smell so earthy and fresh.... plus they have great ing. Find an Aveda salon near you, talk with them and go from there. It is a bit pricey, not too much, but I now buy a lot of products from E-bay, but you will get a great hair cut.
I love the one you're thinking of going with, Saje. Really cute and it doesn't look too high-maintainance. I've got more or less the same style that OC posted.. I absolutely adore the way it looks when I style it but I just don't always have the time to do that. (It probably takes an hour for me to style my hair because it's so fine and thin, it likes to hang totally straight instead of holding a flip or curl.)
I pay wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too much for my cuts !! But i've never been good at styling and Terry does a " V " cut on my hair and I can go 6 to 8 weeks. I look terrible with longer hair ! I can go from shampoo to blow dry in 10 minutes... to use the curling iron takes another 5. Non shampoo mornings I just dampen and toss. It's really all in the cut..the stylist and YOUR hair ! The thing I like, it's done so when it starts to grow out, it still looks natural .

Just a humorous story about hair and curls and such.
When I was 18, I had hair half way down my back. It used to drive my grandmother nuts because it wasn't a boys hair-cut. And she naturally had to say something every time she saw me.
So one summer, while working in that neck of the woods, my friend drops me off to visit my grandmother who was at the bingo hall (she volenteered at the concession every saturday). I tell her as we walk in that there will be a standard dialogue between my grandmother and me consisting of 4 questions/statements:
1) When are you going to get your hair cut?
2) I have scissors
3) It does look nice with all those curls
4) I bet you don't even like those curls
Anyways, I go to the concession and say hi to my grandmother and introduce her to my friend. After the introduction, my grandmother says "So when are you going to get your hair cut?". Anita (the friend) seemed to develop a tickle in her throat. My Grandmother continues with "I could get a pair of scissors.". Anita turs around. My grandmother then states "With all those ringlets, your hair does look nice though". Anita politely excused herself so she didn't break out laughing outright.
It was always a fun dialogue with my grandmother about my hair.

I'm posting late ... I would do layers and wispy bangs. I've tried the angled long bangs before and I was continually swooping them to the side. Big nuisance. And then my hair would look greasy because I was touching it so much.
My haircut is usually short layers on the top and long layers on the bottom, with wispy bangs.

How's this for hair drama . . .
I'm going to have to break down and find another stylist one day. The one I was going to was the absolute ultimate . . . The last haircut I got is so good that over a year and a half later I can still point the blow dryer at it then hit the ends with a round brush and it falls perfectly - and it's long, not short, which is really amazing since long, layered haircuts in thick, straight, fine textured hair usually get unmanageable so quickly
But Byron disappeared last May.
Literally.
Three years ago his salon was burned to the ground and he started over. He obviously got caught up in drugs; he'd been a bodybuilder, but lost a ton of weight and was thin as a rail, jittery, flighty, etc. He got his salon back up and running in another location, got himself cleaned up, and decided to go back to the large salon he'd been affiliated with previously.
One week before he was to go back, he called and talked to the owner and was enthusiastic and looking forward to getting settled back in, but when the day came, he was nowhere to be found. His family hadn't heard from him, nor his friends. A month later his car was found over the Kentucky/Tennessee state line with a small bloodstain in the trunk that did turn out to be his. There hasn't been a trace of him found, but there hasn't been a lot of time or manpower spent looking for him either.
I can only figure that either the TBI doesn't really give a rodent's rear about the disappearance of a hairdresser, or that (hopefully) they've been called off by the FBI and he's in witness protection or something. Not only was Byron the absolute be-all and end-all when it came to hair styling, he was a good human being; someone who always made his clients feel special and beautiful.
