The Moustachio Bash-io : Facial Hair in the Office

Hello Colleagues:

Whether you've grown your mustache because you are being rebelious against the social norm and our images of beauty, or simply just like the look, there is no need for us to do a double take because we think we just saw a caveman roaming the office hallway.

Here are a few ground rules (because with great moustache/beard comes great responsibility):

1. Please keep it trimmed, your beard or moustache is not used for saving food for later.
2. Your facial hair should never be so long that you cannot see your skin underneath it.
3. If you can't grow one out fully.....well I suppose it's the thought that counts....
4. If your beard is unexpectedly red, own it. Don't attempt to dye, color, or pretend your beard is anything but ginger. 

5. While the "Soul patch", "Anchor", "Zappa" and many other creative designs work for some people, it just does not work for everyone; Consider handlebars which are always fun!

Facial hair can be okay if you keep it in check with rules mentioned above.

Here are some examples of acceptable facial hair-dos for the office:

He is proud to be working in an environment that is appreciative of his unique style.

He feels great rocking his beard today!

Note how it still has shape, and how he pulls it off.

Note how proud he is to be standing tall with a thick beard.
