Funny thing is, at work we have business cards with pictures. And my picture, that was taken not long ago, shows me with a full head of hair. I think this will lead to some weird reactions when I hand these cards to people. BTW: I work in an PR agency. Does anyone work some place similar? How did clients react?
1MM,
I found that
parents' reactions are usually the
most unpredictable. I guess it really depends upon how often you see your parents and how open they are to changes also. My
87 year old
mom lives about
4-5 miles from me,
(my dad's and brother are both deceased) and because she doesn't drive, I am usually close enough to stop in every day, (or every other day at most).
Her initial reaction was shock, but now she is so used to it, she says she can't picture me with hair ever again.
My wife and kids have long accepted it since day one. My crew at the firehouse got a huge laugh out of it, but it was widely accepted there also.
I think you're putting
too much emphasis on being worried about what your co-workers will say and whether or not it will be "widely accepted" among them. Understand that
NOT everyone is going to approve, but so what...that's why we are known as
"individuals", and entitled to
our own opinions.
Besides, it's
YOUR scalp not theirs!! If you like the
sly look, (and it appears that you do), then wear it and
wear it proud!! But once again, the
SLY look
fits you like a glove...
I can't imagine you getting a negative reaction from anyone!!Come to think of it, you would get more of a
noticeable negative reaction if you started sporting a
rug, rather than the
SLY look. So relax, and just let the day unfold as you would any other day!!
In fact, you will probably get more
compliments on your new look more than anything!!
