Silly, superficial interveiw question

So we all learned when we first started interviewing to wear suits, look neatly groomed, etc. But what about roots? I hate to spend money for a job I may not get, but I have a second interview for a job I really want. I last did my highlights in early July. Do interviewers actually notice this kind of thing, and does it negatively affect their perception of interviewees?

This is exactly why I don't pay a salon to get my color done.

I get just as many compliments when I do it myself, from the box, as when I was shelling out half my paycheck regularly.

Is that an option?

I have never heard an interviewer comment on roots, but I have heard of other appearance-related things.

Unless they are super funky looking, I think you're fine. But I have a lot of gray hair & go every 3 weeks (yeah, I know crazy) so I'd probably opt to get mine done.

If it helps, my hair place has a groupon so at least I know they're good: http://www.groupon.com/deals/salon-domane-kim-reda-1?utm_campaign=UserReferral_dp&utm_medium=email&utm_source=uu18521460.
I go to Justina but everyone is pretty good there.

I don't think it's a big deal, unless it's going to affect how you feel about yourself going into the interview and bring down your confidence level.

Maybe you could style your hair in a way that minimizes the roots? I know that when my hair is parted and straight, my roots seem more noticeable than when I wear it more wavy/bouncy (more volume at roots). Or maybe you can pull your hair back (so it's not parted)? Pulled back hair always looks professional, imo!

Good luck with the interview.
