My issue with this is that this is something your professor should have told you in private, not in front of the entire class. You are a paying student and have the right to be treated with respect instead of being embarassed in front of your peers. The guy sounds like a jackass.
That said, shoulder-length hair is not that long. Keep it neat and there shouldn't be a problem--and by neat I mean well-trimmed and clean, not shaggy. Though some people have suggested in this thread that the United States is becoming more conservative, that may be true values-wise in some parts of the country. Recent newspaper articles say that employers are willing to overlook such things as tattoos, piercings, and long hair in order to find a qualified candidate as the job market recovers.
Personally, I think it's your call, not your professor's. He should mind his own damn business.
