Thinking about bleaching my hair. It's very obvious that any color besides black isn't my natural hair color. Would a manager raise a stink about this in US?

Just keep it professional where if you needed to visit a client outside and get their business they wouldn’t look at you weird. Everything is fine in moderation. It’s more so knowing your audience.

I still remember an Asian senior asking me if it was ok if she bleached her hair and dyed it silver and being baffled that she thought I could stop someone from that kind of innocuous thing!

Go for it!

Oh, it's been a whole thing for a while. The "no unnatural colors" lectures were going on the whole time I was in college in 2018-2022 and she probably heard them too. Professors were acting as if that's unemployable.

Hopefully you actually get it a nice color and not a mistaken orange (it’s hard to bleach black). But this is certainly not a big deal to a manager lol

No issues as a manager but be careful with your hair. Just spent ~$900 in corrective hair services for my kid after bleach, pink and purple. Years of hair healing now required.

I’ve had every color of the rainbow including rainbow hair as a manager. No one hardly bats and eye at it anymore. Go for it and make it fun!

Just go to a professional so it does not turn out bad. I have pink hair currently and no one cares.

I’ve not had my natural hair color since the late 80s, never had an issue.

I’ve had purple, silver, and blonde. Doesn’t change the fact I can get the work done.
