Let's say you're the hiring manager for a non-customer-facing technical position, and your workplace is somewhat laid back, but not quite foosball tables in the bathrooms laid back. Further, let's say you interview someone for a position and they basically knock your socks off on the phone, but when they come in for an in-person interview, despite knocking even more socks, they turn out to have BRIGHT ORANGE HAIR.

I know what I'm going to do, but I'm curious what other people think I should do.

I think you should keep it then. :-) Fight the urge to conform!

You, of course, are in a luxury position of interviewing for a job that you might want but don't need. Therefore you can afford to say "if my hair is a show-stopper for them, it isn't the kind of place I want to work anyway." If you were unemployed and had a mortgage to pay, my advice would be different.

Oh, yes, absolutely. This is totally a luxury question! If it were even the case that I thoroughly couldn't stand my current job (but wasn't about to lose it), I wouldn't think twice before dyeing it a nice neutral dark brown. As it is, I just don't want to make the move to the exurbs, and that's not even for a year.
