In the working world, that's the way it goes sometimes. My first job in IT required me to wear a business suit and cut 2' off my hair. It also doubled my salary. I felt like a bit of a sellout, but it sure beat being broke. Just get the job offer before you sell out.

I have a very long ponytail and at two points in time in my life I cut my hair because I needed a job or needed more money. Yes, NEEDED. I wasn't willing to "hold out" because I'd be "selling out" no I needed to keep a roof over my head and bills paid. Once I got hired I started to grow my hair out again.
While there may be no "dress code" or "policy" your boss may have preconcieved notions as to what you do and how well you do it.
When I did cut my hair one time in the middle of a lunch break to a high and tight number 1, 2 weeks later my boss walked into my office saying that I was doing such a better job. Odd since I did not do one single thing different.
I have had plenty of companies look at me and decide that I wasn't for their company, and you know what? Their company wasn't for me either, I found that it works both ways.
Either way, I'm my statement is "play the game" when it's to your advantage.
I have no degree, long hair to my ass, and a I live a comfortable lifestyle not worrying about money.
