I couldn’t find anyone reasonable. That’s why I (woman) invested in a battery operated hedge clipper with a 24” blade. You turn it on and shape the bush to look how you want it to look. It’s not rocket science here. I have 4 large bougainvillea on trellises. They grow a foot a month during the summer months. I get my step stool and stand on it to reach the top and run the hedge trimmer across at the level I want it. Easy peasy. I pick up the clippings and put them in a black plastic lawn bag and it goes to the curb on garbage day. Less than an hour work. If you want it done timely you do it yourself.
