Actually, they don't look all that bad to me, with the exception of the dead one. I'd edge the bed, clean out the weeds, trim any dead material,and mulch.

It looks to me you don't have a hedge but individual shrubs. Yes??? It's still hard to visualize exactly what to do, but since all the shrubs are the same variety, I’d round each one varying the size (diameter). Also, unless I could make the height of each one the “same”, I’d “purposely” make the height different to make them look more random.

Yeah

remove the dead shrub, dead wood the rest trim them on the slant a little, cut a bed line, weed it. Suggest plant spring bulbs where the indents are

I agree that those shrubs are not a hedge. They are a foundation planting of individual shrubs. Also, please do not shear those junipers. Hand-pruning the branches that are too long will reduce the size without destroying the plume-like texture.
