getting a job with un natural hair colour?

[Jssy]

Has anyone ever got a part time/temp/summer job with unnatural hair colour? Right now my hair is dyed lilac and it's not really bright. It's a pastel lilac and I have my lip pierced and nose pierced. I need a job so bad so I'll put retainers in my piercings when they're healed. But yeah has anyone got a job with an unnatural hair colour?

lol I actually am. My college don't care about hair colour or w.e because I'm doing hairdressing anyway, but I'm just wondering about a summer job. Tesco and iceland where I live employ people with stretched ears, coloured mohikans etc but I've already applied to tesco

I don't think it should make a difference for jobs in retail because when I went shopping in London this week everyone was so quirky in the bars and shops (except posh shops lul). Just think how many people have unnatural hair colours and piercing - they can't all be unemployed???

Are you saying gingers are unnatural?

Also I imagine it only affects higher end jobs.

Some places will take one look at people with dyed hair/piercings and make rash unfair judgments. Isn't your hair just dipdyed though? It really depends what other people have, if someone's got full body tattoos and stretchers you'd be more likely to get it!

Sucks how people will judge on looks, but I guess that's life isn't it... D:

like dbgtz said, it should only affect higher end jobs. to be honest i went to see a vet and she had bright blue hair and i was almost baffled that she worked there, it just seems weird in some people's heads idk.

depends on the job really, most likely in a shop they will hire you

my dogs vet is a part time body builder and she has tattoos of all her pitbulls on her arms lolllllll she also has part of her head shaved
