I am at new architectural design firm. The boss says my hair looks ugly and makes the office look poor. He makes me wear a wig. My friend laugh at me because the wig is long hair and looks strange on me. The wig falls off all day and he put glue In to make it hold on my head. Is this legal ? I am 31 man with medium build.
Nearly every country that isn't completely and totally ass-backward, can not do that with legitimacy. You would have to have an NSFW tattoo or something on the top of your head before there is much of a reason. This "your ugly" basis can run into issues like anti-discrimination laws. There are potential legal issues. He may or may not run into trouble but it's going to be a dubious position to justify his demands. IANAL (I AM NOT A LAWYER)

He say it is ugly because I am bald guy. I don’t have tattoos. Most office is full of beautiful fashion and models.
Whether that is illegal is hard to say. That's something to consult a lawyer about. It sounds like a situation where you may want to consider applying for work at another company that isn't such a douchy place. Hostile work environment. I'd seek a different place of employment.
In the meantime, I'd just play along so you get the paychecks until you have another place to work at secured and can then submit your resignation and go on to working for someone else.

I will continue to wear wig on top of my head. Thank you sir for legal advices.
I'm not suggesting wearing a wig as "legal advice" but merely a strategic suggestion so you don't rock the boat pissing off your employer, then you get fired, and not have a job lined up. When it's time and you resigned and heading out, you can take the wig off, with a sticker tattoo (fake kind) to walk out the door with a message. That is if I were in your position.You can imagine my message would be. Partly visual/pictorial.... ok... mostly and the visual will convey the core message.

Mr Balkins thank you for good advices. I will keep the wig on until I get hair tattoo.
To be honest, at first, I haven't thought you to be a troll. It seems like a new account. While that alone does not make a person a troll. The behavior does. I don't have access to IP address info which would be helpful to determine if you are a person who was already been banned. So, I don't assume you are another user who was banned using another account. I can reasonably decide after some dialogue if you are being a 'troll' (internet slang) based on your behavior. You are starting to exhibit such behavior associated with 'trolls'. The second sentence kind of comes off that way. I'm not suggesting or making an argument about your physical looks. There's nothing wrong with being bald. That is why I don't agree with your employers conduct but am not sure if it actually breaks any law. You need to consult an attorney on that. However, playing along with the wig thing and then getting a new job working for a boss who isn't such a douche would be a wise step out of a hostile work environment that you are uncomfortable with, based on your first post.

Why you call me the names? I am not very ugly like the troll. I only have no hairs on top of my head.
Even then, I have not reached a conclusion yet but I am suspecting it as you get all person about it. I am wondering what your intent, here. So far, I had been fairly decent to you and you are getting all emotional. I wonder, why? I just pointed out how your behavior is starting to resemble that of an internet troll. AGAIN, IT IS NOT ABOUT YOUR PHYSICAL LOOKS.

Thank you sir. I will tell my boss that I talk to Richard Balkins attorney at law and he say it not illegal so I wear wig with the glue.
I already said I am not a lawyer. Therefore, it's you that is misrepresenting me. I essentially suggested and still suggest that you consult a lawyer regarding legal issues.
Your boss can't MAKE you wear a wig. This is ridiculous. On the other hand, you are 31yrs old, which means you should have some wherewithal to look in the mirror every morning and make sure you are "presentable" when you step outside the house. You sound like a "man-child"
TBH... from my first read I am 99.9% sure it's a troll... but this made me laugh so hard the first three times I read it... 10/10, this is a troll I can live with. His other posts are all asking Richard why he's talking to himself....
Then there's Patrick Stewart. It really shouldn't matter. There's plenty of bald people who were Principals of firms and such. Aesthetics is a very subjective thing. C has been acceptable in society and only a shallow b.s firm with shallow b.s. reasons makes a thing of it. One can be bald on top yet have hair on sides and back side of equal length. Sure, you might not be the most appealing to everyone but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Patrick Stewart did fine even back to 1984 Dune as Gurney Halleck. Then as Jean-luc Picard in Start Trek TNG. I suspect the OP may be more of a troll but damn, if this is real, the firm is a real douchey firm that no one should even apply to work for and everyone currently work that firm, resigning after securing a new job.

The ninja turtles were bald. That’s all the endorsement you need.
C is simply unacceptable in today's high-fashion society. Try shaving with #1 clippers, which leaves a little texture to hide lumps and bumps. Or wear a bandana on your head like hard rock musicians do.
If the wig is low voc and from certified hair growth farm then sure. Must also comply for Class A fire rating if you are using it in a commercial space.
OP - I've seen your tinder profile, you are ugly. Also stating that your preferred 'style' is a mashup of Austrian brutalizm and French Eclecticism is a real turn off.
Can boss make me have wig

That is not what I was saying. Google search: internet troll (troll being shorthand). It's not about looks but a term coined to refer to a behavior.

You're boss allowed to do this. Let him.

def kangaroos
Say No to Wigs, Yes to Merkins.
My office would be much more fun if the employees wore wigs. I would personally opt for a pink one, in the likes of Stephanie from Lazytown.
Are you:
A. Fully bald
B. Partially bald and shave your head
C. Partially bald and let the sides grow out
D. Partially bald and do a comb-over
Legality aside, if you're in a client-facing role in a firm that prioritizes aesthetics, C and D are not acceptable. (I'm a B.)
He is none of that. He is a troll.
So probably C?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't rem koolhaas c back in the day, a or b now?
C

I can feel my hairline receding more and more reading Rick's posts on this thread.

Wear a beret. If you really want to be stylish add a cape.
#1 clipper make you look like penis head
Clean-shaving and waxing your head is more of a d!ckhead look.
Depends on the shape of your scalp.
Good point. People were calling me d!ckhead long before I started losing my hair.
If the wig is low voc and from certified hair growth farm then sure. Must also comply for Class A fire rating if you are using it in a commercial space.
OP - I've seen your tinder profile, you are ugly. Also stating that your preferred 'style' is a mashup of Austrian brutalizm and French Eclecticism is a real turn off.
Please try harder.
Anyone who's always wanted to say they're an architect should be fine wearing a wig.
But a fake mustache is too far.
You know I always wanted to pretend I was an Architect!
I do it everyday. It's exhausting.
please wear a hair net between your bald head (ugly) and the wig (beautiful).
This is immediately where my mind went. 10th grade humor, but still a classic.
wear two wigs to get on your boss's good side.
If the wigs are unique enough you could be considered two people and double your paycheck!
We'll have to consult Rick about the legality on this
Make sure whig is whorn on top.
Don't tell me where I can wear my whig. That infringes upon my rights. TYRANY! TYRANY!
If you look this ugly, then there is no hope for you.
