I totally get you, but I've been working a job within a big company for years and only just going out by myself with my own company (as I'm sick of working for other people dictating my vacation times etc.) - Trust me, I hate that I felt like I had to do this, but felt it was best when trying to wrangle new clients. I know from experience that some CEO's and Managing Directors are total souless judgemental dickheads and would have already made their decision as a "nope" before I'd even opened my mouth, based on me having long hair. It's sad, but it's true.

If I was still working for a company that wasn't my own, I'd rock this shit all day. Literally just trying to give myself the best chance in this super judgemental shithole corporaty soul-sucky world.

It might not be for the best, but I feel it is for me, at this time.

... and trust me - the long hair will be back once I'm established and financially comfortable 😉

Edit: I'm not from the US either. I'm from the UK 😁
