[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think for women it's not much of an issue because of how they can be worn. I think it's more of an issue for men. [/quote]

That's probably true. And also banking might be quite conservative, but I think women can get away with a bit more in terms of hairstyle. I'm a government attorney (white) and I see tons of different hairstyles on the AA women at my agency, from relaxed to natural/low fro (not sure what this is officially called) to braids, twists, piled high on the head in a crown, etc. The only thing I might think unprofessional -- from either gender -- would be unkempt and messy long dreadlocks, the kind that spill halfway down your back.

Honestly I notice super long nails before hair. A couple women have nails so long and curly I don't know how they can type. But that's their call. If they can get the work done, then whatever. I do a fair amount of hiring and I would never base my decision on nails or hair or looks at all really unless the person was truly slovenly or smelled.[/quote]
