Well, if it is in keeping with YOUNG business style in your area, then go for it, especially in the RESIDENTIAL real estate field...if you were going into commercial real estate, I'd suggest a more corporate look. Good luck in your new endeavors.

If commission, money and success are important to your new profession, you want to have as many things as possible in your favor. This would mean trimming your hair.

I know this hurts and you have every right to express yourself any way you want, I personally prefer long hair myself, you will always run across people who will interpret long hair as placing more importance on your personal expression than on the clients benefit.

They may not be correct and in the minority, but do you want to sacrifice 10% of your commission? If so go ahead and keep the hair, no big deal. But if you are hungary for success and advancement it will always involve sacrifice.

Good Luck whichever you choose.

As long as your hair is styled and clean, I don't think people are looking at the length of it. You can always cut it later if you find out that it is a hindrance to your job.
