I right now I work in the Moderate south, but I've lived and worked and visited other places too. Growing up in IL, I've made enough trips to Chicago to know that it's not norm there, and that's a pretty liberal area. You can always find exceptions to norms, but for the most part, I doubt pink hair is acceptable in 95% of professional workplaces. Can I find stats to back that up? I hope not, because I hope no one's wasting their time polling places about whether pink hair is against the dress code.
