I need to point out a few things:
First of all, the main reason business are started is to make a profit, nothing else and anyone who may think differently is naive.
Secondly, irrespective of what you, I or anyone thinks a company has the right to project an image for the type of employee it chooses to hire provided it does not transgress any laws. If, we choose to a apply for a position and decide not to conform, it is their decision as to whether they hire us or not. While I would not entertain that sort of bullshit, if you want to work for these firms, lose the attitude and conform? If not, stop complaining and find a firm where brains and initiative are more important than whether you have long hair, short hair or no hair. But you will find that you will probably need to employ some form of conformity for these firms as well!
