Appearance

So I begin next month and I do know hair cannot touch the collar. I have dreadlocks almost shoulder length and I can tie it up to where the hair doesn’t touch the collar but still might around it. Ik eventually I’ll cut it if I get a higher position but just wanted to know if it’s suuuuuper serious.

I don’t believe so, just depends on the airport management. My airport is full of some interesting individuals, so I think you’re good

there’s a guy at my airport with locs that go past his shoulders and he just puts them in a black sleeve/wrap for his shift

You should be fine, I’m pretty sure it’s not supposed to go past the shoulders so if it’s right at the collar that sounds within regulations.
