I have been an Outpatient Obstetrics nurse for 2 years, and neither tattoo nor hair color has never been a strict policy at any place that I have worked. However, I am applying to a new position at a hospital, and the ends of my hair has been recently dyed a fuschia color. My natural hair color is black/deep brown. This fuschia color will likely fade considerably in about 4 weeks, but I was curious to see what everyone's opinion is on whether this could effect my chances of getting the job. I haven't yet landed an in-person interview, but my phone interview is next week.
Some things I was considering... I might tie/pin my hair up in a way where the pink/fuschia part is mostly hidden. I might also be truthful about the color that my workplace has no such policy and that I plan on washing it out in a few weeks. Or I may just dye it back, although this was professionally colored, so that would really suck to have wasted that money. Should I just bite the bullet and dye it back? What do you think?
