Generally employees who will deal with customers can be told to keep their appearance a certain way. A friend of mine who has a full beard was told if he was going to be hired as an outside sales rep, he'd have to trim his beard. The company only allowed employees to have mustaches and/or goatees.

That's a good thing. Appearance is everything, regardless of your beliefs. You need to look professional and not look like some homeless guy by having a beard.
