I have nothing against someone doing this to their hair, etc. In my personal life I am completely non-judgemental. But in business, I think I am the vast majority - where I ALWAYS am suspect of any non-standard appearance feature. Look, this is my livelyhood. I need to put food on my kid's plate, etc. I need to be 100% convinced that anyone I am doing business with or that I'm thinking of hiring is going to be serious and work toward my interests. If someone is serious about succeeding and about doing business, then they don't have funny hair, etc. Business is a game. You need to play by the rules. Even if you start your own business or someting, where you can do whatever you want. Could you still afford to lose even 1 out of 10 potential customers because they didn't take you seriously? 10% of business can be the difference between success and bankruptcy. If you are serious about succeeding then you would have to bite the bullet and be conservative. What about the novelty stuff that you can wash out? Can't you do this at night or weekends and then just wash it? If you want to "be all you can be" in biz then you needt to play the game.
