This gives me flexibility in interviews, because I honestly don't care if I get hired or not, so I can not be nervous and be myself. I have had long hair since I got out of the Army 10 years ago, and never had a problem finding work. I live on GI Bill and student loans now, so I don't have to work, haven't had a job in 2 years, and it's nice.
I don't wear suits or dress up, frankly I find the clothing to be a "clown suit" and very impractical, so I don't wear it. At best, I'd wear a tucked in button up shirt and slacks, and tie my hair back and use mousse or something so it's not frizzy. That would be the most "dressed up" I'd ever get.
If someone cut my hair off without my consent, I would probably severely maim or kill them. Being forced to do something is not something I take easily. I consider it the same as having body parts chopped off. It's mainly the force and lack of consent issue, though. Having my personal space invaded and my wishes disregarded is probably one of the few things that makes me severely angry.

That's good for you. My Dad hasn't cut his hair since he left the military either, but, more power to him, he's happy, and he doesn't have kids to support. (my husband does. He likes all of the trappings of our affluent life, so, it kinda makes him a hypocrite, expecting me to do something he is not willing to do.)
Again, 'matter of principle' let them see your skills first, and, once you're hired, be yourself in your wardrobe. I don't wear heels to the office, nor makeup... but, I sure as heck did it for the interviews.
It was a humourous anectdote, anyone who would change another's body without their consent has bigger issues than I do.

It was a humourous anectdote, anyone who would change another's body without their consent has bigger issues than I do.Well, I keep everything simple. I wear the same clothing color and style every day, I don't dress up, ect. I'll go to an interview and be nice, but I doubt I'll dress up or whatever. Being a chemist I shouldn't have an issue finding a job anywhere, the degree isn't exactly easy to get. I'm taking my senior level courses at the moment, and they are pretty brutal. Calc 2 alone probably weeds a lot of people out.
I would agree with tying it back for a job interview, I have to all the time in the lab anyways, so that isn't an issue.
I don't have kids though, so I have the luxury of taking or leaving a job.
