No, Macy's does not make it's sales associates walk around in all black.

I used to go to a hair salon that had a dress code.  Males - white button down shirts, ties, black pants.  Females white blouses, black rather short skirts and high heels.

@DiAnne, short skirts and high heels? Are you sure this was a hair salon? :-)

FWIW, I am eternally thankful that I never worked where I had to wear heels, no less high heels.

Looks like Macy's revised their dress codes in 2017 to allow color

the all-black was sort of depressing. i recall when they started with the all-black dress code, and it must have been around 2006, the associate would thank you for your purchase and come around the counter and personally hand the shopping bag to you and thank you again by name.

this is the pdf of their revised dress code

What kind of hair salon requires high heels ? Or ties for men? That sounds awfuly uncomfortable for workers ... I'm sure turnover at that salon was extremely high.

I worked at Macys many years back when my kids were young and in school.................i always wore black...there wasn't a dress code.....................it was just it seemed to be the color most employees wore  so i believe we all followed 

suit

Kelsey17, Ive heard several associates complain about the work environment at Macys. There are very poor benefits. My regular associate at Kohls who has helped me for years left Macys for that reason. She said the 401k was very poor and insurance was non existent.

A few months ago, one of the salons i go to, the owner has asked my aesthetician to wear high heels.  He wants men who are walking by in the outdoor mall to be enticed to come inside for services.

She told him to stick it.

The spa team where white smocks.

At Red Door, the nail team where black smocks and black pants.  The spa tea where white smocks and black pants.  The front test and hair team wear all back.

Macy's employees never wore a uniform, maybe decades ago.

Their dress code was black on top & bottom.

I worked at the mall in a kiosk for several years, we were required to wear white on top, black on bottom.    It was not a company provided uniform but it was the dress code and our "uniform"

A little off topic --- I was at the tanning salon last week and the manager apologized for being out of dress code (she said she had been sick).  I was surprised that they have a dress code there.  We never had a dress code when I was teaching, but there were times when I thought we should have had one.

@sandy53Oh, we had a dress code when I was teaching!  The superintendant said "no tennis shoes, no denim".  

I could understand the no "denim" since style is subjective and not all educators are professional, let's face the fact that there are some bad apples in every basket.

We were able to wear "dark denim, no holes" on Fridays when we had a game (I was HS).  

Some teachers had a foot problem and needed to wear tennis shoes on a terazzo floor.  (Poured concreate with stone chips.).
