According to you, I get to make the rules? Right?
As long as the you aren't discriminating against someone on the basis of a protected status, yes. You get to make the rules.

You can require male diners to wear jackets and ties. You can require tattoos to be completely obscured/covered. You can require that patrons don't wear perfume. You can require that if you have blonde hair, you wear a scarf to cover it. Being blonde, wearing perfume, having a tattoo, and not wearing a jacket are not protected statuses.

Clubs in "high society" areas have bouncers that reject potential customers at the door if they don't have the right look, wear the right clothes, or come with the right guests. It's your business, you can let in or reject whoever you want as long as it doesn't violate actual discrimination laws.
