Maybe no one has complained.

It is true, I promise. My mom is in employment law, causing me to be really annoyingly knowledgeable about **** like this.

And the company your brother works for has B.F.O.Q. That's why they haven't gotten crap about it, and Snickers is right as well, most aren't aware of agencies like the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and it's pertaining laws.

Have none of you guys read the fair emplyment statement that is on pretty much every job application? I don't think it covers mohawks, though, unless you somehow claim its part of your creed.

I got my mohawk while I had a job, and my boss thought it was cool. She wanted me to dye it. I wouldn't want to work for someone who is such a tightass that they won't let employees make their own personal life choices.

And I still maintain that if you want to get a mohawk just because you like them then you are not conforming. If you want to get one to look punk then you are. If you don't get one because people on an online forum are telling you that you will be conforming if you do, then you are conforming.

I have, and I know it doesn't cover mohawks, but there have been hundreds of cases where it is claimed as part of some creed (and Mohawks usually win). I just was under the assumption that one would lie and say it was part of their creed to avoid the rule.

Why dont you just do it without her permission? I mean doesnt a mohawk symbolize being a rebel? If you were a real rebel you'd have one by now!!! Jeez..grow a set and get the dang hawk!

Im not looking for a job as of right now, even if I was Im not gonna let some ******* boss dictate my life for me. I never said...err never mind. I don't appreciate the words being shoved down my throat. And poster above me, Bert, Id rather have hair, than have a one day mohawk and get it shaved the next day.
And, Alexander the Grape pretty much sums everything I would have said.

Alot of you people that have posted, have assumed a whole bucket load of ****.

I wanted a mohawk, they look cool, couldnt get one. I was wondering if anyone knew another cool haircut...but anyways.

If you consider your boss telling you to get a haircut dictating your life you have a pretty pathetic life.

you sound like a your 14. Grow up.

Crowquill, I didnt mean simply a haircut I meant the hair, clothes, peircings, facial hair, hair dye and all of that stuff.

doesn't help your case, it's all overrated, appearance **** that shouldn't matter as much as a good job.

:laughing:

Even if they allow piercings, mohawks and dyed hair most places typically will tell you what you have to wear to work.

:) I forget he was the one who started the thread...oops

mullet

I got a mohawk for some time... conclusion: not worth the "maintenance"
Oh, you can also go for a Taxi Driver style, less fuss but not as cool.

Get a Mullet-hawk.....bad ass!!!!

No way, those are ghey.

Seriously. Worst haircut in the history of haircuts. Its so institutionalized. So Conservative. So 50s. So John Cena. So everything I hate about America. etc.

This seems a little weird because mohawks aren't really punk...

I just got a bit of a mohawk...and I didn't even ask my mother. I iz the punkzorz...:yeah:

Nothing can be esthetically done to make you "Punk"..why anyone would want to be portrayed that way anyways, i have no idea.

You can't "look" punk.

If you're punk, you just are. I'm punk.

Sure you are.

Ni**a your rep just came into question.

Winner of this argument recieves +5 cred points.

I'm sure someone had suggested this (Hey! There are seven pages of posts!), but sneak out and live with it afterward. Defiance of parental authority is the best!

Back in my teenage days in the late '70s and early '80s, my mom wouldn't let me have a mohawk, either. But, I went for a crewcut and the barber set the clipper for an even shorter setting. The rest of my friends thought that it looked cool and got their hair cut the same way.

thats by far the least punk thing ive ever heard other than avril laveen is punk

Oh no he di'int...

Yes, but you just don't get it. You never will.

First of all, I was half joking.

Secondly, what do you view as "punk"? Seriously, I'm interested. Do you think it's a guy with a mohawk, Sex Pistols/Ramones t-shirt, and Doc Martens, who proclaims to be an anarchist? What makes someone "punk" to you, guy with numbers for a name?

godo splelling

no i dont view that stuff as punk i view punk as more of a mentality and life style

adn for the record i dont consider myself punk

it aint really punk but i say slash perm

The punk thing to do is:

1: Get the mohawk
2: Tell your mum to shove it
3: Punch her in the face
4: Move into the shed
5: Grab a few friends
6: Give them instruments (doesn't matter if they're any good)
7: Punch them in the face
8: Write a song about it
9 Turn everything up to 11 (no need for engineering)
10: Play hard
11:Punch yourself in the face

I'm so getting one in the next couple of months...but only because I'm a fashinista and it looks bitchin'.:yeah:

Well I personally think that the mo hawk has to do with more than the cut. It was all originally a part of the scene and the ability to make something different, out of the box and basically flat out not giving a ****. So what you're basically saying is defeating the whole purpose of the original idea of a mo hawk. If you really want something in life you'll do it and take a chance. Always remember that, or you'll get nowhere in life. Good luck.
