Depends. I mean if you've started going grey and you decide to just expedite the process that's probably acceptable. If you're over 50 it's definitely acceptable to be grey haired.

Still work appropriate!! Dye it! My changes to fun colors regularly and no one in the office seems to care/ my clients love that the firm lets me express myself.

We're living in a world where jeans are allowed. I don't think people are required to hide their tattoos and I'm almost certain you won't get fired over hair color. It's just a matter of promotability. Apparently when you hit manager at my firm appearance is weighted pretty heavily on the evaluations.

Also depends what industry you work in. If you're auditing tech clients, then I'm sure all of the above is fine. If you're auditing banking clients where everyone wears a full suit to work, might be different. Basically, know your audience and don't let something as silly as hair color hold back your career.
