Unfortunately, starting with dark brown hair and waist length to boot, your best bet for a vibrant red like your picture is to go to a salon and have it professionally lightened and then colored that shade. Dark brown doesn't take reds well and at best they come out a dark auburn color (I have medium brown and have trouble getting reds to show or stay as well).
I'd recommend finding a good salon and bring a picture of the shade you want and let them handle how to best get it.
