What if any policies do your homes have on hair color and body piercings???

Our first facility (A therapeutic Group Home) you were not allowed to dye your hair while in the program. Breaking the rule meant starting over. As far as piercings: Girls could only have piercings in their ears and could only wear hoop or stud earrings. NO safety pins, chains, etc. Boys could only have one piercing in each ear and could only wear stud earrings. Staff men can wear hoop earrings.

At our current facility (Basic Foster Care Home) Girls can dye their hair a natural color, wear piercings in their ears, men and boys are not allowed to have piercings. Body piercings are not allowed although several children have gotten away with it (Mostly Belly Button Piercings)

Additionally Tattoos were not allowed at either facility, however again, many youth managed to get away with it.

Where I work the kids are only allowed to wear one pair of earrings and they have to be studs, no hoops, etc.. No body piercings are allowed for either gender.

As for hair coloring, if they come in with green hair for instance they can keep it but they can't dye their hair while they are here.
