A writer at careerbuilder.com has a fun article about jobs that let you have weird hair. Of
course the list contains a bunch that you would expect such as cosmetologist, server, and massage therapist. But it also lists things like college instructor, photographers, and web designers. And guess what? Chemists make the list too! Obviously, this writer has never worked in the cosmetic industry.
Cosmetic chemists with weird hair are just not found. Not even the most famous cosmetic chemist has weird hair. They must be talking about the uber geek chemists from the American Chemical Society (ACS). Then again, the Right Brain has some funky hair days so maybe there is something to this.
If you don’t feel like looking at the article, here is the complete list.
- Barista – Drink maker.
- Cosmetologist
- Massage Therapist
- Server
- Copy Editor
- Theater Worker
- Software Developer
- Web Designer
- College Instructor
- Photographer
- Chemist
- Team Mascot
Anyone else have more?

why can’t researchers and PhD students have weird hair?
Highly unfair!
They should be able to have weird hair. Did you ever see Einstein’s?
HR Manager
artist/agent. now that’s very simple.
I am a Pastry Chef and I have weird hair, piercings and tattoos.
Selling makeup and hair products in Anna mid west college town They expect extreme crunch with the granola and I LOVE it, cause I’m letting my mid-back length hair go grey. No more coloring! I feel free.
I also have a wrist tattoo so I will remember my kids names when I am senile and a nose piercing to shock and horrify my children. I must park one block from their friends houses and honk to pick them up. Of course you know this 46 year old mom just has to meet to parents and horrify the kids. Especially if they’ve been really stinky lately
I think instead of of software developer, it should say “any job in Silicon Valley”
bartender, tattoo artist, Halloween store employee… Hmm I’ve been a photographer and have done web design but crazy hair would definitely not have won me many clients.
I don’t know about hair but I knew a library clerk who had a ton of visible tattoos. Of course she was also a former merchant marine.
Every tattoo artist/piercer who has touched my son has had hair dyed a color or 2 from the rainbow with lots of spikes and chops. I can’t call it weird. Here, it’s just Austin.
Chemists? Weird hair? Not that I’ve noticed. A group of us in Gard school dyed either our whole head (not me) or parts of our head (me) strange colors. When I go to scientific meetings, I don’t see any weird hair there. I go to the ACS national and regional meetings. Local shows, FACCS, EAS never saw strange hair.
Government workers…because the government can’t discriminate against their employees based on color, hair color included.
Regal cinemas has fairly strict hair guidelines (natural hair colors, ponytail for hair past the shoulder, et c), but my former managers never cared much. Their bosses did, though…
Um Hot topic, musican, chef!
I always find that hairdressers have the weirdest hair, strangely enough!
Graphic designer.
I worked at a movie theatre and no one was able to dye their hair an un natural color so what “theatre” does the list mean ? a theatre that shows plays?
@Gia: Yes, we were talking about working in theater or acting in movies.
Line cook/ Chef also!
Embalming, the dead don’t seem to mind peoples hair choices.
