Friends of mine have advised me that if I was hired with long hair they couldn't ask me to cut it after the fact.

Probably not true. Workplaces are allowed to change their standards all the time. If you were under contract, or you had an agreement to a period of time for employment, then they might not have the right to fire you, but barring that (or a union you can submit grievances to) you may be out of luck.
That they let women have long hair is something of an issue. Clearly they have instituted separate standards for men and women not based on job performance. I'm not sure what type of action you could take though. A suit for unfair termination might be successful, but it is unlikely you would get much in damages, so it is equally unlikely an attorney would take the case.
