As a kid my parents went nuts every time I did something unique with my hair. From crazy colors to even crazier patterns / stylings. As I got older and started talking about getting tattoos my parents swore I'd be unemployable and that my unique appearance would leave me alone and homeless on streets of NYC panhandling or something. Now, years later m y hair is black, blue and blond and I'm not the only one in the office with my unique take on personal style. (my old boss had some awesome sleeve work done. As more and more people have progressively started to change their appearance we've learned that you can be respectable and have pink hair or tattoos. As our generation grows older what is acceptable and conveys respect is changing. Personally I believe that being unique, and standing out it breaks the ice and makes you more personable. BUT if I were to ever lose my job, I would dye my hair back to a natural color to avoid putting off any persons who were not okay with my unique sense of style. Money tends to be more important than self expression...most of the time. It just depends on who you are presenting your self to. Faryl I say just do it!
