Apparently her coworkers that I talked with about them thought they were awesome!
This hospital is very pro breast feeding and unmedicated births....maybe "progressive" ideas have an effect on how well alternative hairstyles are received. Areas that have a more liberal population I believe are more accepting of tattoos, piercings, hairstyles, fashion trends and that sort of thing. Also, oddly enough higher education levels is related to those who register as liberal versus conservative...
hey.... i am a bookkeeper for a government organisation.
I worked as a substitute teacher in a primary school for a year and never had any problems with concerning my hair. The children were very curious and the girls loved to put pearls and stuff in my hair.
My employers were very curious as well actually, but my hair was newer even mentioned in my interview. I plan to work as an archaeologist after I graduate university, and do not expect my hair to be a problem in getting a job.
When I worked i always kept my hair in a professional hairstyle (like a bun, ponytail or a braid) as working with it loose seemed too uncomfortable and looked unprofessional.
Depending on the length of your hair I can see different issues with different hairstyles. But do the best you can, keep it professional, and I think you will be fine 
attached is a photo of "normal" my hair looks i a bun :D
GO for it everybody!
im actually curious about what jobs i can have also, ive never seen anyone in my area with dreadlocks, and im a lil nervous, i just fimished phlebotomy school and am trying to get a job in a local hospital. if they wont hire me because of my hair then thats not the job i want anyway..i suppose its going to be kind of an experiment for me to see how people react in this town, but i will let you all know different reactions from different places:)
Hey I haven't been on here in a while but this past November I also became a substitute teacher for k-4th grade and it's been awesome! The kids are always so blunt and honest so it's funny to hear what they have to say about my hair haha. The teachers also ask me questions about them just out of curiosity but have never made a rude remark. I've gotten along with all the teachers and am now to the point where they request me to sub for them! As long as you look and act professional like you said the rest is easy. It's all on how you carry yourself and interact with people God Bless!
