I think it depends on where you live, honestly. I work for a very conservative consulting firm and no one has any problem with my locs. But this is in NYC, the fashion and diversity Mecca, not someplace small and ULTRA-conservative to begin with. We're all democrats  I interviewed here with them. It's all about CONFIDENCE and appropriate styling- I didn't come in with my locs all wild- I pulled them back for the first few days (then never again) and have decided that coloring them is probably a non-starter.
