Receptionists often provide the first impression for a company, so it’s widely accepted that they look the part. This means following the appropriate dress code, and making sure their hair, makeup, nails, etc. are neat and tidy.
One woman thought all was well at her new job, since there was no mention of her appearance during the interviews and the first few days. Imagine her surprise when she was called aside about her “messy” hair, and informed that if it isn’t fixed, she could find herself fired. She’s been left feeling embarrassed, worried and confused. Especially since she’s already been doing her best to hide severe hair loss due to a medical issue.
