Does anyone know where I may be able to go to see, hear and feel a display this weekend?

So I want to dye my hair a light green colour (I have natural dark brown hair) and I was going to do an underdye style. I have never dyed my hair before and I don't feel confident dyeing it myself so does anyone have any good recommendations of places in Reading? Preferably one which has been in business a long time (5+ years). Thank you (Sorry if this isn't clear enough)
