Red Hair/Why do you care?

I've been going through an interview process for a secretary position. They stated that they like me and felt that I did well in the interview. They want me to come in and spend some time at the office so that I can learn what to expect if I were to be hired. I was also told in the same email that my hair color doesn't meet their professional standards and that I would have to change it to a natural hue.

That made me pretty upset.

Each interview that I have had at this location I have made sure to have my tattoos completely covered, have been incredibly well dressed and very polite.

My hair is a part of who I am, fake color or not. I take a lot of pride in it. I have a tendency to keep my tattoos covered because they are for me and no one else and I know how judgemental people can be about tattoos. But my red hair being a problem is ridiculous to me. How is it any more "unnatural" compared to the girls who bleach their hair to platinum blonde?

I love my red hair and its taken me and my hair stylist a long time to get it this way. I feel that I shouldn't have to change who I am for a job. I obviously meet all of their requirements but they cant look past my hair.

And not to be snotty but I was more professionally dressed than anyone in that office the day of my interview.

I'm in a poopy mood. I feel like I was told that something was wrong with me. I don't want to change who I am.

They stated that I would have to be willing to change it in order to move on with the process. I told them that I wanted to continue interviewing but that I'm not willing to change my hair and I realize that because of that, I will no longer be a contender. They contacted me back saying best of luck and we've both moved on. Also, I have a nose ring but they didn't comment about that. So nose ring are okay but red hair isn't??

It's okay though, I'm just continuing my job hunt! That obviously wasn't the right place for me and I'm glad I figured it out now opposed to later.   And thank you for the support btw!!@whuh1 :D
