Read your company dress code very carefully, and review your handbook about work appearance and dress code standards. If they say that you need to be clean shaven, or that you can not grow a beard then you accepted the job under those circumstances and agreed to abide by it. Right to work state or not. Violation of a company policy is a reason to fire someone.

I was just discussing how I wouldn't hire my own brother because of his hair style. A few years after I was hired as a manager I grew my hair long and twisted it to fit into the entertainment community I was apart of. Thinking back I think this may have something to do with why they began treating me differently and I eventually lost this job.
Some companies have a certain image they want to project to the public. Your image may not fit what the company wants it's customers or business clients to see when they walk in the door. If you believe in the goals of the company and you are committed to the success of the company you got to be a team player in the fashion department sometimes..Contact a lawyer to see what the laws in your state.

If this is a private company than the owner has free will to fire and hire at any point in time for any given reason. If the company is a publicly traded company or is working for/with a government related project then no this is illegal and as long as you follow proper procedure you can file a legal action against the company for harassment

In arizona, yes, because its a right to work state they don't have to give you a reason to be fired. Otherwise i would say no, it would be a form of discrimination, but if you signed a contract and it states a dress code (that may involve facial hair) then maybe. It all depends on what state your in and the laws they have! Sorry! Sounds like your boss is a jerk. Good luck!

It really depends what the job required in the first place they might of told you to be clean, and shave. Most of the time you get written up for it then you next time sent home then fired. But it all depends on the job and were you work.
