Yes. His appearance will have a much greater impact on a perspective employer than anything that a background check might show.

Of course an appearance is something that you *can* change, the information on a background check is beyond your control. Has he ever been fingerprinted. THAT will stick with you these days.

I was fingerprinted when I joined the Navy, but that was in the OLD days before computerized fingerprint data bases. Today, being printed generates a record, that is there even if there is nothing on it.

*******************

Now for the shaggy dog story.

Before I went into the Navy, I always wore a crew cut. In boot camp they could find precious little to cut off. When I got out of the Navy it was the 1970s man, and to be hip, I grew long hair down to my shoulders. (GACK that was *ugly*)

I applied for a job with Good Humor selling Ice Cream. The district manager said "Not with that hairdo." I said that I would get it cut, and he said cut it if you want, but I will not guarantee that I'll give you a job.

I cam back with a close crew cut (the barber must have been delighted to see me) and he gave me the job on the spot.

First Impressions are the most important. Botch that and there will not be a chance for a second impression.
