I would like Starbucks to allow Partners to have unnatural hair color. I feel that compared to tattoos and piercings, it should be nothing.
The Policy states: "HAIR: Keep it looking natural- no bright or unnatural colors (purple,pink, blue,green). Pull long hair back with clips, hair ties or bands."
Why is this important?
The Starbucks mission statement is: "Our mission: to inspire and nurture the human spirit – one person, one cup and one neighborhood at a time."
Starbucks is place where partners are unique and should be able to show their true selves. How are they going to do it if they can't color their hair how they want? Sometimes color shows the person's true self. Allowing tattoos and nose piercings was a good first step but now let's allow unnatural hair color.
Variety in a workplace is always great! Wouldn't you want to have some red, purple, green, or maybe pink in your hair?
