Is there a place of employment that is willing to hire a girl with pink highlights?

what places should i avoid applying at? i'm in the customer service field.Is there a place of employment that is willing to hire a girl with pink highlights?
i dont think someone can just turn you down just cause of pink highlights i worked with a buddy of mine who had blue highlights and we both worked at cvsIs there a place of employment that is willing to hire a girl with pink highlights?
Tattoo parlors, eclectic shops/restaurants, telemarketing places, Hot Topic or several similar shops in the mall, etc.





Honestly, I would ditch the highlights, since most of these jobs are not open at the moment. My beautician says that you can tell when the economy is bad because hairstyles are not as extreme. Once the unemployment rate gets better or you find a job that accepts that type of look, you can always get them again. To say it more clearly: to land the job, you need to ditch them, but you might be able to get them back after you've landed the job.
If you have to ask this question then you at least realize that you look unprofessional for most businesses and would have to dye over your highlights. Other than hot topic or some young/hip restaurant/bar, etc that might be more flexible, no professional place that deals with any type of face to face customer service, sales, etc would hire you.





This economy is dire right now and jobs (all jobs) are very competitve. Casting an unprofessional appearance right off the bat is a sure way to make sure the good jobs go to the other people.
I agree with Amanda. Not many places besides Hot Topic are willing to allow your uniqueness. That is unless its covered up by a hat or you aren't seen by customers. I used to have bright red highlights and the supermarket I worked at freaked and made me hide it in my hat at all times. I've been thinking about doing red highlights again but I decided against it since I'm looking for a customer service type job at the moment too. You may just have to dye over it if you are having difficulties finding employment
Maybe a punk rock hair salon? Or just phone sales - nothing that means the public sees you. Once you grow up and get normal hair, you can get a lot more jobs.
