The only place I've encountered restrictions on facial hair (no beards) was in the Navy. Tatoos are now taboo too. Existing tats are okay, new ones cannot be seen in areas that the uniform doesn't cover (arms, face, etc). I guess they consider it destruction of government property... I agree with Zapped, as long as hair is neat and clean it's okay. Piercings can also get out of hand. Maybe I'm just old.
