did a haircut ever change the way you were treated at work? — Ask a Manager


did a haircut ever change the way you were treated at work?

It’s the Thursday “ask the readers” question. A reader writes:

I’m a woman job hunting right now and desperately want to buzz my hair. It’s a pretty strong look, and I think it would have the same effect on my search as a bold hair color. I’ll probably do it.

But it got me thinking about a period where I went from medium length to very short hair and changed jobs at the same time. I was treated so differently with short hair. People assumed I was quite serious in a way I had never experienced.

Wondering if readers have any good stories about a haircut changing the way they were treated at work? Maybe even bad haircuts?! The week before lockdown in NYC, my hairdresser took out all of her anxiety on my hair and it was the worst haircut of my life. Before I realized how serious Covid was, I was glad to not be leaving the house!

Readers?
