Talking of Hair Color - Does “Going Gray” Affect Your Boomer Business?
Posted by: in Your BusinessMary Emma Allen, over at Home Biz Notes, asks the question: Does “Going Gray” affect your home business?
A week or so I wrote about Boomers who color their hair. Mary Emma is taking it a step further. Does hair color affect how people look at you? Do customers, employees look at you differently if your hair is dyed? Or not dyed? For a business owner, it’s important to be taken seriously. If you went to a bank for a loan and you had gray hair, would the lending officer think, “Too old. No loan.” ?? Would Generation X employees not listen to you if you looked older?
On the other hand, customers might take you more seriously if you have gray hair. People in your community might think about you more of an “expert” if your hair is gray.
What do you think?
