Is this kind of hair color unprofessional? My natural hair is black, but I really want to dye my hair like some type of wine color. I’ve been traveling for work more than the last 2 years, so not sure if it’s “unprofessional” for being on the client site. Im consulting if that makes any difference

I have bright pink hair. I just traveled to a client site and got a ton of compliments on it from the client. The majority of people won’t even bat an eye when it comes to fun hair colors.

Nope. Have colleagues rocking bright red or blue hair

I love it

Just go for it. People are too worried about their own business, don’t think will give it a second thought. :)

I think it’s perfectly fine.

I had this hair color for close to 2 years when I first joined EY, I had a female partner and client compliment me on it. You’re more than fine.

I think it’s very pretty and I’m a prude so take that for what it’s worth.

It’s your hair, choose what makes you happy and confident. Hair color isn’t a bare midriff.

Perfectly fine! Do it.

I think messsssssy hair is the only “unprofessional” look. Unkempt and this again is mostly a concern for people who look younger (if you look older, people just think you’re brilliant and don’t have time). everything else is fair game and no ground for judgment! Go for it!!

Looks great! Not unprofessional at all

Ita beautiful! Go for it!

I think wine/Burgandy like this is fine, but if it starts to look purple/pink as it fades, then that would be bordering on unprofessional. Be sure to tell your stylist when you get it done that you are concerned with it looking too purple or too "bright red" and hopefully she can find you a good color. If you aren't traveling every week, I would try to get this done on a Friday when you would be home the following week, in case it doesn't turn out right, then you have time to fix it before you travel again.

This may also depend on what industry your client is in. If they are in banking or any other industry where you have to wear business professional on site (vs business casual), then look at others in the office and what their hair color/styles look like.

I was also on a project at the beginning of Covid, and 2 people at my client had either blue/green, or pink hair. so definitely depends on the client.

The color is great! I would recommend you go to HR if someone at work ever implied this particular color was unprofessional.

I say this as someone experienced in HR related matters.

Looks fine to me

The color is really pretty, I don’t think it’s unprofessional. There’s a developer on my team with bubble gum pink hair and no one on my team cares. Be you and let your work speak for itself.
