Don't ask yourself, ask me.

I suggest you get the mohawk cut, and do a reverse comb-over; with a centre parting you can comb each half of the mohawk down the side of your head.

Sometimes when I am about to enter a vicious hand-to-hand combat arena, I have a strange hairdo, to intimidate my opponents. In order to avoid problems at clientco , I have discovered that if I walk around with my kn0 b hanging out and rubbed all over with gorgonzola cheese, nobody seems to notice my hairdo

awesome idea, alas I'm on the mainland and don't think they will know what it is.

I'm in a suit most days, although I dress down too. I figure if I just make sure I wear a suit most of the time it will even out the silly hair on the professional scale.

Just hope I don't get a kickin....coming in with silly hair is one thing, coming in with silly hair, a broken nose, and a limp is another.

Get some felt tips and colour the rest of your head in. They will never notice honest. I do it every so often with a tash. Sometimes I draw one on just to see the funny looks I get. Obviously people are not used to seeing me with a tash.

Hey guys...

I do alot of kickboxing in my sparetime, and want to get a mohawk for a fight thats coming up in a few weeks.

Bad idea for the office? I'm in a fairly professional environment, but I'm a young developer.

Should I run it by clientco manager...or just screw em and do it?

What cha think?

Why not just get it done the day/afternoon before the fight?

One of the contractors here turned up for her interview with bright pink hair (didn't realise it was a permanent dye), and got the job. Was remembered for it for years afterwards, and subsequently re-hired many times.

In theory, if you're a contractor then screw them. However realistically they might be a bit taken aback. Why not let them know what you're planning and gauge reactions? I have quite a big tattoo on my wrist, one on my foot, and the top of my back - all of which are quite visible depending on what I wear. I am always careful to cover them until I have been onsite for a while and am happy no one will care!

If its a concern, on the day of the fight get the mohawk done and go duff some people up.
After the fight, shave your head.

No problem.
