The main difference between the Pentecostals and other Christian denominations is their extreme emphasis on gifts of the Holy Spirit, especially the gift of speaking in tongues. Most Pentacostals teach that if a person hasn't at least demonstrated the evidence of speaking in tongues then they have not received the Holy Spirit. After that there are many variations and some of the churches are known for their out of control services with people speaking in tongues and no interpretation being given as the Bible commands. In my opinion some of these churches are infested with a spirit unholy because the Holy Spirit of God does not lead to such behavior. As it is written:
1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are from God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
1 Corinthians 14:26 What is it then, brothers? Whenever you come together, each of you has a song, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification. 27 If anyone speaks in an unknown tongue, let it be by two or at the most three, each in turn, and let one interpret. 28 But if there is no interpreter, let him be silent in church, and let him speak to himself and to God. 29 Let two or three prophets speak, and let others discriminate. 30 But if something is revealed to another who sits by, let the first be silent. 31 For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged. 32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. 33 For God is not the author of confusion but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,

There are different kinds of pentecostal but the ones I am familair with the women aren't allowed to cut their hair or wear men's clothes which includes pants. No jewerly..although some allow a wedding band. No makeup. I don't think they have any dress code for men! Which seems a little unfair.

Unless they are baptized in the Holy Spirit WITH THE EVIDENCE OF SPEAKING IN TONGUES, they are not saved and are going to hell. The women wear no make up, and never wear slacks or shorts. The men are not allowed to wear facial hair. There's some other weird stuff, but that answers the questions you posted.

I think the Pentacostals believe in the gifts of the Spirit (tongues, prophesy, healings, etc). They tend to be fervent in worship. I'm not sure if they have special dress codes or not.

Out of person experience over a number of years...
Here is a link that is very accurate when revealing what the agenda behind the pentacostal movement is really all about.

all pentecoastal churches are not UPC United Pentecoastal, the UPC'ers are the ones that don't wear make up and don't cut their hair etc.

Well, the origin of the sect is five coastlines. Just exactly where these coasts are they never tell us. You might try looking them up on the internet.
