This includes always wearing clean clothes, avoiding long and dirty nails, nail polish, and jewelry on hands and fingers. Additionally, hair must be tied up in a bun or ponytail if it reaches or falls below your shoulders, to ensure food safety. Furthermore, all clothes used for work must adhere to the dress code policy, which can be found here.
