Dyed hair hurt job prospects?
I am mixed, medium brown toned I guess, with curly hair. I really want to dye my hair to a lighter brown with some blonde mixed in. I've always had very dark hair so I'm looking for a change, but I'm worried that it might be considered unprofessional by some people (which I think is just ridiculous). I don't want it to hurt my chances when I'm looking for summer positions during 1L year.
Thoughts?

I think if you think people are going to have a problem with it then you already have your answer.

So long as your hair is a reasonable shade of brown and the "blonde mixed in" doesn't make you look like a tiger, I can't imagine anyone caring.

Well the thing is you just never know with people. There are some who think natural black hair is unprofessional, literally google professional hairstyles then google unprofessional hairstyles and notice the difference. Also like how there are people who think multiple piercings can be unprofessional and some who don't care. I don't think it should be a problem but I'm looking for opinions from people who have more experience with it.BigZuck wrote:I think if you think people are going to have a problem with it then you already have your answer.

Unfortunately it is a serious post because I've gotten mixed opinions about it *eye roll*. But I want balayage I just need to find someone who will work well with hair as curly as mine.texcellence wrote:wait, is this a serious post? as long as you're not opting for 1999 chunky highlights, you're good. my hair is naturally black but i have balayage and get many compliments from people at my firm, so as long as your hairdresser does a quality job, you don't have crazy colors or a manbun (hiring atty colleague would literally cross guys off the list for this), no1curr.

As long as it's a naturally occurring hair color, it should be no problem at all. Just don't dye your hair blue or pink and you'll be fine.
