  Case: Inquiry: Physical Appearance as a Teacher
What is considered inappropriate dress code wise, on average? For instance, nose piercings, tattoos, and red hair. How are these viewed by employers? Will these attributes make me unhireable?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Most employers frown upon facial piercings, tattoos, or “unnatural” colored hair. However, I have seen and worked with teachers who have had visible tattoos and colored hair - including rainbow hair that was three different colors! If you do have physical characteristics that may seem “risky” such as tattoos or dyed hair, I would not present them as an issue while you are interviewing. If the administration has an issue with it, I’m sure they will let you know. Each principal and administrative team that you interview will be different, but what’s most important is what YOU bring to the table. Show them your best TEACHING qualities, and I’m sure they will love you for the rest of you too - crazy hair and all! :)

Comments: I found this solution to be very helpful. This is actually a concern of mine also as I have a nose piercing but I really think what matters most is a person's teaching qualities as you said.

Comments: I agree! It sucks that something as minuscule as appearance matters for how you're viewed professionally rather now how good you are at your job.
