I think this is appropriate here!

‘I am a self-expressive person and I feel very confident with pink hair so I came up with a solution to keep the job and my hair’

We're not talking about racism. Nobody has pink hair naturally. This individual made a choice to appear a certain way. If that is contrary to the business's image they are trying to project then they have every right to terminate her or at least put in a back office role, not front house client facing.

Also how does not fall under dress code? Basically the same thing and nobody finds that controversial for the most part.

She had pink hair when they hired her. If the organization has rules about things like this then the hiring manager is the one at fault.
