Nail paint and wearing my medium-length layers down


Nay to the first and I've no idea what the second means....

oops sorry. I have medium-length hair in layers. Will I look unprofessional if I wear it down?

Hate to say it, but I think it depends on your age. A young woman in a job interview will probably be fine hair down, but I'd wear it up, just in case.

Depends on the color of nail polish and length of nails. Err on the side of caution.

Hair down is fine as long as you won't play with it. Nails do either a neutral or pale pink.

Right. You are being sized up as a person, not a woman. Conveying a sense of propriety is important. You can grow your hair out and paint each nail a different color after you get the job!

Wearing your hair down is fine, but make sure the nails are not too bright, long, or distracting.
