Is it ok to have one's beard longer than one's hair?
I am planning to get an almost shaved head with a short beard that is up to 50% longer than my hair. The beard would be approximately 10 days of growth.

Welcome to WSO Mr. Bernanke
Go for it.
It is ok to do whatever you want. Or are you referring to working in a bank? Pass it off as following your religion of Rastafarianism and I think you'll be okay.
It would be cool somewhere with a more (business) casual vibe. Probably not the best idea at a BB
Only if you are a part of the Boston Red Sox.
If you look worse without one then go for it. The whole "professional look" thing is overrated anyways.
Don't listen to this idiot.
If you have to ask then you know the answer is it's not a good idea.
Voting no. Still facial hair. I guess it depends a bit on how far up you are, then again shaving every day is pretty normal. Lumberjack can be risky.
You just have to look clean and well groomed imo.
What is the best type of beard to go with a shaved head? (Originally Posted: 08/08/2013)
The most common seems to be the circle beard. Would heavy stubble or Van Dyke look good?
No facial hair in finance unless you are MD! Just like braces and bow ties are reserved for MDs, beards and moustaches are reserved for that group as well. If you work for government you can do whatever you want since you don't have to worry about image that clients see.
How would you know?
Nothing sinister about this look:

I am assuming that the firm in question is not the traditional financial firm and it is not in the traditional location for financial firms.
