'V' hairstyle/haircut for long hair?

My hair is pretty long and thick. I want to keep the length but narrow out the width so my hair isn't bulky when I put it infront of or behind my shoulders. I've seen many girls with this hairstyle where their hair is still long yet not overwhelming because it's cut in the shape of a 'V' instead of straight across. And the ends look really thin.

How do I describe this to the hairdresser? Is it layers? And should I get the ends thinned out as well? Last time I cut my hair (at supercuts :( ) I tried to tell a hairdresser to give me this hairstyle but he gave it 'texture' and made my hair look all raggedy and disgusting.

Okay, you may think that it's styled like that but it's NOT. People who grow their hair out long without getting a haircut get really bad split ends. This causes the "v" shape. It may be desirable to you and I'm sure if you'd like your hairdresser could cut it like that but usually a person who knows hair would refuse to do that because it's a sign of unhealthy hair.
