Ok, I have been licensed in hair for 12 years, and am geeting back into it after raising my family. Now when I use to do hair, there was kind of a strict dress code, not jeans, tennis shoes, short shorts, short shirts, t-shirts, or anything like that. Basically, "professional" looking attire. Slacks, button up shirts, shirts with no print/writing, shoes, skirts etc.. Well, I have seen now more gals wearing clothing to work in a salon that looks like they should be going to high school! They have short tight tops, tennis shoes, camo pants, concert tees etc... Is that ok? I dress very nice for work, I feel that if I appear to take care of myslef, then people who's hair I will be doing will think I will do a great job becasue of my appearance. I have actually been told though, that I kind of over dress! Is that possible? I mean I'm not weraing evening gowns and heels, but suit jackets and matching slacks with boots. What do you all think?
