Totally situational. The guy is a mover, not a heart surgeon. I certainly think that as the "stuffy old guy" generation of management is slowly replaced with the "hip younger guy/girl" generation, more interesting/unusual styles will likely become more frequently acceptable. Still, it is situation and industry dependent. When I worked in radio I had an orange mohawk for a while. Nobody cared. When I was an on-set medic however that would not have been ok. It is sometimes a rather thin line between an individual's beliefs, style or values being impinged upon vs. a common professional expectation of conduct/appearance.
