Today, my boss told me that, while he respects the fact that I have my own style, I have to stop wearing "that hideous wig" because apparently, it "makes the clientele uncomfortable". I don't have a wig. It's my natural hair. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after a lifetime of weaves and extensions, I felt brave enough to wear my natural hair to work. As soon as I clocked in, my manager yelled, “Holy shit! What happened to you? Stick your finger in a socket or something?” I was then sent home for being, “Out of uniform.” FML
Today, I found out that my boss of 2 years not only doesn't know my name, but calls me "Jew hair" behind my back because of my natural ringlets. This man determines all of my career progression. FML
Today, my boss commented on the fact that I don't usually wear makeup, then told me it would be much appreciated if I'd change that. FML
Today, a little girl asked me if I was wearing a wig. It's my real hair. FML
Today, my boss told me to cut my long hair. After coming back to work with a clean cut hairstyle, he apparently thought I was the new guy, and said I was going to be trained by "The long-haired girly-looking idiot." FML
Today, for the first time in months, I wore my naturally curly hair instead of straightening it. Later on at work, a customer pointed at my hair and said, "Look, Bellatrix fucked a poodle." All my coworkers laughed. FML
Today, a customer came in to the Pizza store where I work and complained that the food they had purchased had a strand of black hair in it. After some deliberation, my boss decided to fire me. He is the only staff member there with black hair. I shaved my hair 2 weeks ago. FML
Today, my boss fired me because I look like her ex-boyfriend. FML
Today, a little girl asked me if I was wearing a toupee. It's my real hair. FML
Today, I went to go get a haircut. I asked for layers and bangs. She gave me a mullet. My job requires me to be in court on a regular basis and to look professional. I didn't realize mullets were professional. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Now I'd like to know what your hair looks like...

Yes. Telling your boss to **** off is always a good idea, especially when he made a suggestion to improve business. Want to know a better idea? Telling an idiot commenter to **** off.

No, him being a massive dick makes the clients uncomfortable.

You must have some serious hair

You just need to invest in a nice wig to cover up your "hideous wig" during work hours. Ask your accountant because you may be able to write it off your taxes as a business expense.

#22, I was thinking she could alternate hideous and beautiful wigs. That way, she could build up her muscles until she had the neck of a nose tackle (that can be quite erotic;) )

that's bull, op can definitely do something to style their hair for work. it sucks but unfortunately everyone bases 1st impressions off appearance, so when at work one is expected to look and act professional. even if that means wearing some dipshit uniform or styling your hair in a dumb way. I feel op's pain though, I have pretty long hair and get hassled for it at work all the time.

21 is no doubt being sarcastic.

If the OP is a hairdresser, than she's her own walking advertisement. The boss has every right to inform her that his clientele are uncomfortable with her hairstyle choice. He's running a business. Ex: My coworkers have to remove their face piercing just because "some" guests might feel uncomfortable around them. Then they put it right back in the second they clock out. Your time is your time :P

Hairdressers often times do each other's hair. It might be more of an indication of how bad the other person is at it.
