You can not "take an iPhone" to get it legitimately unlocked. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it, whch is done through iTunes by you.

Whoever you took it to hacked it. It is now most likely permanently bricked.

Buy a new phone.

Only the carrier can unlock your phone, you now have a useless device for a phone. You will need to buy a new one to use as a phone.
