Emily Benschoter faced a surprising request to conceal her pink hair after accepting a job offer. Determined to keep her position, the 29-year-old opted to wear wigs instead.

During her interview for a front-of-house role in the hospitality sector, the meeting was not conducted in person or via video, leaving the interviewer unaware of her appearance.

While Emily now dons wigs for work, she remains critical of her employer’s initial request to cover her hair. She has since launched a TikTok account showcasing her various work wigs 💇‍♀️
