Is this too "edgy" for a corporate job?

I'll be a head of department (not customer facing). Have had pink hair before in a different company, but this is a new job!

Honestly? Yes. I'd tone it down for now until you get a proper feel of the place and what's appropriate.

I think it's fine, it's abit different (I quite like it) but not too out there. If you are worried though, why don't you just wait a couple of months or so into the new role first ?

Yes I could wait for sure, but I have the time to do it this week. Something I usually don't!

Yes for a big corporate job

I work for a big British company in a corporate role (not head of!) and this wouldn't cause any issues at all.

Go for it then, I mean they might say something if they don't like it , but it could easily be covered. I work in a corporate role and my workplace wouldn't have an issue with this hairstyle.

It’s a bit Cruella.

I'm in a big corporate. It would be fine. We're often told we should have a personal'brand' , so go for it! Get a really good hairdresser to do it though

I've got a cruella streak that I often turn purple or pink when bored. I work in a plc and meet vips as part of my job. Totally acceptable.

Is it for an interview, or a role you already have?

I already have the role. My first day is in 10 days

If you haven't started your job, and you got offered the role having interviewed with a more traditional style, I'd probably stick with that in the interim.

Once you've found your feet and impressed with your capabilities, you can switch it up then, perhaps?

Those pictures are quite different though, some are younger, more grungy than others.

chatenoire · 29/03/2024 22:03

I have very dark hair, but that idea is that part of my fringe would be bleached and some around my temples on the opposite side

Me too & agree!
