Braids to an interview?

I have an interview at a BB for an internship position as an analyst this Thursday. I just went on a cruise with my girlfriend and when we stopped in Jamaica, I foolishly got my hair braided. I really wasn't expecting this interview to happen at all, let alone so soon. I am a regular, fairly good looking white guy. The braids definitely look good, but I suspect would be very unprofessional for an interview. I have been calling different barber shops but none seem to know anything about removing the braids. I am really in a jam here. I am considering possibly buying a very stylish hat to conceal them, but I would imagine I will be asked to remove my hat once in the building.

Is there anything I can do at this point? I want this interview to go as smoothly as possible and have worked my ass off to get where I am now. Any advice is very much appreciated. Thanks!

^^^^ well Said.

You're a fool...just go to a (how do I put this?) Urban Barber shop in the ethnic parts of town and ask them to undo it.

If it's of any use, the MD in my group and one assoc are both white dudes with cornrows. They came up through one of the diversity programs and never looked back. Rumour has it the MD is a tranny too.

What it boils down to is your work ethic. If you have a 3.8 with great extras and community involvement, you've got just as good a shot as anyone. Just remember to smile and play to your strengths!
