What is the dress code at the U.S. Secret Service?

Male hairstyles must have a tapered appearance on both sides and back. The hair must not touch the ears, and only the closely cut or shaved hair on the back of the neck may touch the collar. A block cut is permissible as long as the tapered appearance is maintained.

Female hairstyles must present a professional appearance and must be a minimum of one inch. Hair must not exceed three inches in bulk or be styled in a way that prevents proper wear of headgear. Buns and ponytails are allowed, though ornamentation such as ribbons is not allowed.

Tattoos, brands, and body markings that are obscene or promote discrimination are prohibited both in and out of uniform. Excessive tattoos and brands may not be exposed or visible. Any tattoo or brand above the collarbone is prohibited. This includes:

• Neck

• Head

• Face

• Tongue

• Lips

• Scalp
