LATAM Airlines — Appearance & Grooming
A modern Latin American standard: understated, neat and matched to the group uniform, with most of the detail set out in the local cabin crew licence training rather than published online.
Grooming · LATAM Airlines
- Hair
- Neat and secured for service. LATAM publishes no list of approved styles across its affiliates.
- Make-up
- Discreet and conventional, matched to the uniform. Expect it to be assessed at the in-person grooming evaluation rather than described in the vacancy notice.
- Facial hair
- Male crew are expected neatly groomed; LATAM does not publish a beard allowance in its vacancy notices.
- Nails
- Clean, neat and short enough for safe service, in a conservative finish.
- Glasses & contacts
- LATAM does not publish a spectacle rule; the aeromedical certificate covers corrected vision. Plain frames are unremarkable.
- Piercings
- LATAM publishes no piercing count. Discreet earlobe studs are the safe assumption for the assessment day.
- Jewellery
- Discreet and safe for service, with the issued wings as the fixed piece.
- Tattoos in uniform
- The vacancy notices state it plainly: nothing may be visible in uniform. Short-sleeve uniform options mean forearms count as visible, so placement is what decides it.
- Headscarf
- LATAM does not publish a headscarf policy and its uniform has no headscarf piece. Ask the recruitment team for the affiliate you are applying to.
- Uniform
- The post-2016 group uniform in LATAM indigo with coral accents, standardised across the Chilean, Brazilian, Peruvian and Colombian affiliates; male crew wear a matching suit.
Grooming rules change more often than any other requirement. Verify them on the airline's official careers page before you buy anything or book a hair appointment.
Frequently asked questions
Can you have tattoos as LATAM cabin crew?
No. Nothing may be visible in uniform, and the short-sleeve options mean forearm ink counts as visible.
Does LATAM publish a grooming standard?
Only the essentials — visible tattoos and general presentation appear in vacancy notices, while the working standard is taught during the local cabin crew licence training.
Can LATAM cabin crew wear glasses?
No spectacle rule is published and the aeromedical accepts corrected vision, so plain frames are fine. Verify on LATAM's own careers page, since grooming rules change more often than any other requirement.
