'So superficial' | Woman wears 'terrible wigs' to work after boss bans her pink hair

An employee has gone viral over her innovative response to her employer’s rules on hair colour.

Shortly after accepting a job offer, Emily Benschoter was told by her new boss that her pink hair was not appropriate for her front-of-house role in the hospitality sector.

The 29-year-old told Newsweek: “Dying my hair for a job I work at for 40 hours per week wasn’t an option.

“I am a self-expressive person and I feel very confident with pink hair so I came up with a solution to keep the job and my hair.”
