If I went to a dentist and he had a mohawk with pink hair, I would be concerned. And that's how most people react too. I'm not a fan of dressing up which is why I can't imagine myself working at a wall street firm, but at the same time it's arrogant to think that you can beat everyone else even when you are clearly exhibiting a behavior some people find repulsive.

If there was another dentist with exactly the same skills both technically and socially, there is no reason for patients to go to the guy with pink mohawk.
