Confront or Not?

[SlickCountry]

I appreciate the responses.  I'm wondering if I'm just making too much of it.  Although I do not feel that I am doing anything wrong, I do not want to hurt his business.  He is insinuating that I am.  He has also told me that his business has never been as good as it has been the past two weeks.  I guess I'm just confused as to what is really going on.

How are you hurting his business?  Because people don't want to use a land surveyor who shaves his head?  Sorry, I'm not buying it.

I agree, something else is up.

slick..do you wear the barbell ear rings to work and out on jobs?

[SlickCountry]

Normally, but not always.  On days that I don't wear them, nothing is different in the way he acts.  The day he met me I had them in.  I guess you could say he interviewed me with them in.  I only have direct dealings with clients about 10% of the time and they are still talking to him, I'm just there to help him.  Kind of like an electricians helper, you deal with the electrician but the helper is there too.

try this....give up the ear rings and definetly dont wear them to work,also when out on job sites wear a cap/hat.....let him know that your willing to compromise on your appearance for the sake of your job.....but if you dont care about your job keep wearing them and start looking for another one in the meantime.

If he was wearing the earrings when he was hired, then they shouldn't be an issue.  Wearing a cap is a good idea.  That should be an easy enough solution.

I had told my boss at the time that i wanted to shave my head,

Curious, why did you tell your boss?  It would never occur to me to tell my boss. I just went ahead and did it, it's my head

Play it cool ... I wouldn't do/say anything until you're together and it seems obvious that he has a problem. Then i'd ask him straight out if there is a problem. If he mentions your head then maybe you could talk through the issue.  I'd be as least confrontational as possible unless he starts acting like an a-hole.
