Where I work no coloured hair, no face piercings are the general rules. No matter how good you are.
Visible tats are frowned upon.

I think it's pointless but I can see where they are coming from.

Oh, yeah, I mean she couldn't see clients like that
but if you turned up for interview looking like that, and were really good, they'd probably still offer a job on condition you sort out appearance.

Although I'd be surprised about the coloured hair thing, even in law

the ex bleached his hair and was told that it was unsuitable for work
and that wasn't a law firm.

i got told off for wearing a t-shirt with sequins on the shoulder when we had dress-down for moving offices.

you wouldn't believe how petty and conservative it could be.

most of the people I know well in law
work for criminal defence and the CPS and that appears to be a lot less harsh about appearance - unless you're a barrister of course
