What is the Best Banker Hairstyle? HELP!
I'm a first year analyst and I have been feeling uncomfortable in my group. I need some advice for overcoming my sloppy hairstyle anxiety. Should I get a haircut? And if so, what style should I go for?
To give you a little bit of background: I work in the IBD of a bulge bracket bank. I'm about 6"1', blond, and am physically fit. I make an effort to be well dressed and I frequently receive compliments on my outfits; lets just say it's obvious that my mother doesn't dress me.
My hair is naturally quite "poofy" and doesn't seem to lay down. Throughout college I just let it do the natural thing but that isn't cutting it anymore. Please help!!!
Disclosure: I know some of you think I'm a d-bag and I don't really care.

Go to the Vidal Sassoon
Go to the Vidal Sassoon salon. Ask for a male stylist as no female has a touch quite like theirs. When they ask what you want, just tell them "you can have your way with me." They'll probably give you some fruit cake hairstyle and then slather your butt hole with pomade and ram you with their meat stick, but its a small price to pay for such a valuable lesson: get a fucking personality, get your haircut however you like, if you dont know/care, just walk into any decent hair cutting place and tell them what your problem is and that you want them to fix it. Jesus.

Wait, you are a 1st year analyst at a BB, surrounded by bankers and you are asking what an appropriate hairstyle is? If this is a joke, i clearly missed the punchline
Marcus's advice is pretty good but as an alternative go #1 or 2 on the sides and scissors on top

Are you asking for advice or trying to find a date?
Go to a reputable hair stylist and ask for a recommendation on a low maintenance conservative professional haircut. How do you expect anyone here to help you choose a haircut when they don't even know what you look like? Go ask a professional.

Thanks guys
I like Marcus' advice the best; it seems like he's rather experienced in the process...
I appreciate the suggestions. Please keep them coming.

i know what you're thinking, a bottle of hair gel on your desk makes you look like a complete d-bag. so what i like to do is empty out the gel into a purell hand sanitizer bottle. except once my MD took some and was wondering why the stuff wasn't rubbing off into his skin...that was awkward.
shaved != nazi?

I' ve always wondered how a shaved head would look on analysts. I don't want to be confused with nazis.

Yes, but again it's not some used car-sales men look-I go to a top barber in Coconut Grove, and use $50 hair spray.

I've always hated my hair and since high school have been attacking it all over with a number 1 guard. Just make sure your head is somewhat symetrical or it won't work. I've never had any complaints about it, but then again I've never had to style it or do anything else with it in many years so even if people hated it a) it's mine and they can go eff themselves and b) I never have to worry about taking time to do anything with it.
This is how your hair should
