I didn't know there was one, having never been a pharmacy tech. Many as they age, their hair starts to turn grey(gray), what do many do? Just for Men is a big seller, might even have a fire engine red color now.

Tell ya a personal dress code story. I worked for close to 30 years in a dirty/hot manufacturing plant, 99.9% men. I then was transferred to the other side of the 2 plants(they were connected), and there was AC, and a majority of women.

Now in the dirty/hot plant I wore bib overalls. I needed several pockets,for tools and more air moved through them, so it kept certain areas of my body more comfortable.

So I get a clean and much cooler job. Those already on that job, about 50/50 women and men. Guess what? They didn't like me wearing my bibs, so? Nobody told me to my face, but word got around on that much wanted job.

A dress code in a manufacturing plant? Not in the Western Electric/AT&T Plants. So what did I do? I wore those bibs until the day I retired, and for those that didn't like it! I could not have cared less, but I guess some need to connect dress to the individual. Sad, but more funny to me And this was in the late '80's and the early 1990's. 😉

Blue hair can be attractive. Minding one's own business is a good quality.

I worked as a clerk in a pharmacy for two months in 1965. No dress code.

My opinion would be, is my prescription right? Did I get on time? Things like that. What color someone's hair is doesn't matter. I have seen some beautiful blues and purples. Done right usually by a professional they can look amazing.

And what about all the blue hair little old ladies?

All I expect is "reasonably neat & clean-looking". As long as a person knows what they are doing (and that goes for techs, doctors, nurses, lawyers, contractors, architects, waitstaff, cashiers, office workers, preachers, teachers, LEO, maintenance workers, etc.) I don't care in the slightest what their hair color is!

You are fabulous. You are the perfect example of not letting anyone get into your head. People will only do what we allow. When we feel good about ourselves, well just read what @hckynutjohn posted!!!!
