i have to admit this does seem kind of inappropriate to me because this is a professional relationship rather than a personal one. everyone is probably different about these things though. i do think from what you've said here about your T she will not respond positively. personally, i wouldn't even ask. you might find it helpful to imagine how you would feel if someone asked if you'd wear your hair a certain way so they could play in it. that can be a helpful way to put yourself in another's shoes to gauge if what you are doing/saying is appropriate or not.
