Acceptable Mens Hair Styles

I have a general male nurse question regarding acceptable hair styles. By law employers have to have gender neutral regulations. If they are not gender neutral the employer has legal exposure. Having said that, my question is would it be acceptable for a male nurse to wear their hair in braids (corn rolls)?
Of the 30 plus ER's I've worked it the only thing in the handbooks for hair style was neat, clean and well groomed. I've never seen anything as to how you actually style it. Women I think is pulled back but I've seen a lot keep it down which always grossed me out (think female cath and their hair not pulled back).

I see it all the time in Boston.

Oh and it is corn rows. Peace!

As long has he knows what he is doing I dont care if he puts it in braided side buns like the Star Wars chick.

You are not tired enough if this concerns you. They probably don't care that much about your hair, because they are tired.

Clean and there...

Corn rolls lol.

I think the best course of action here would be to sit down and have a discussion with your manager.....this is something that probably varies greatly from facility to facility......that said I do know that in many cultures hair style is very important....for example I would not ask a male Sikh to cut his hair and I think corn rows can look very good depending upon the person Bottomline, ask the person that controls your money

Quote from Chin upOh and it is corn rows. Peace!

I don't think it's a problem, as long as you aren't going for a "bad dude" look. You know what I mean. Don't scare the money clients - little old ladies.

How 'bout straight up bald? That's my fave on men.

he he, many of my friends are bald and when I look at them all I see is the sparkle in their eye that transmits to the outside world the condition of their heart.......i think as long as pts are getting awesome care they dont really mind if the nurse is as bald as a peeled onion or has dreads down to their waist
