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 am the last person on earth to ask this question.
Mainly because, while I know how to dress conservatively, I've gone out of my way to find jobs where I can either be a) naked, b) wear pajamas to work and not have it be unusual, or c) be in jobs where being an odd dresser/odd hair dyer is an asset, as opposed to a possible liability.

Still, it's always been my obsevation that odd hair is not anywear near the 'no-no' that it could be in many computer oriented job markets. Especially if the candidate is well qualified and savy. If it were up to me I'd totally hire you.
