Yes. You don't have to cut it SHORT, you just have to cut it so that it is short enough to have plenty of shape and style to it. Long hair that just hangs is not professional.
Make sure the stylist knows you want to donate your hair to Locks of Love.

How long has your hair been long? How short are you talking? How long has it been since your hair was that short? And how bad does your hair look in the morning when it is short and you don't have time to shampoo, blow dry, etc.
These are the basic points my daughter and I consider each time we face this question. Her hair is short and cute [picture Stockard Channing as Rizzo in the movie Grease] no matter whether washed, finger combed or skips shower all together. Mine is a just-below-the-shoulder length bob because my curly hair is uncooperative about half the time in the mornings, washed or not, and I am really good at sweeping it into a French twist-ish bun.
Not much help, I know, but it really is a matter of preference and patience in the long run.

I have long hair and work in an office environment and am still professional. Who says long hair isn't professional looking as long as its clean and kept up. If you don't want to cut it then don't.

my hair is down to the middle of my back and there is no way i'm cutting it for the job. if i wanted a job where i'd have to change my appearance, i would have looked into acting or modeling. don't listen to what other people say about cutting your hair for a more "sophisticated" and "professional" look, because guess what...not everyone looks good with short hair! just as long as it's not in your face, and you don't play with it all day long, you are fine with your long hair.
word of advice though - make sure it looks healthy and always stays trimmed. long hair can actually appear less healthy compared to short hair because it's easier for long hair to break and get split ends. as long as you maintain, keep your look!!

It depends on the avocation you participate in. If you like your long hair, but you perceive that it will be more advantageous for you to display a hair style that is more acceptable than the length of your hair, cut it. Long hair is a liability as far as I'm concerned. What is important are the assets you provide as qualification for the position. So If you believe a shorter hair style will be beneficial for you're being chosen as the successful applicant for the position, do what you have to do.

I'm none too sure as to why shorter hair would be considered more professional? If you've already got the job, proving you can do it is infinitely more important.
My missus currently has two small piercings in her nose and four in each ear. However, she's just saved her company two and a half million so no one gives a monkeys how she looks.
Basically, show your skill and no one is going to look at you disapprovingly.

You should wear you hair in any style that makes you feel good about your self. Weather it is long or short doesn't matter these days, when it comes to a professional setting. As long as your hair is clean and neat, it will look professional no matter weather it is long or short.
It all comes down to you feeling comfortable with in your own self, and what works for you.
Be at peace with in your self no matter how you wear you hair.

Long hair does not look unprofessional. Those of us with long hair just take a bit more time styling it. We can wear it long, or in an updo and still look very polished and professional.

It is good that you consider your job and what is good for
your outlook there. However it is your hair and you should
do what you want. As many others have mentioned, you can
put long hair in very dignified looking ways, a french twist etc.
I am thinking you will look very professional.

No one over the age of 25 should have hair past your chest, it just looks tacky with aging. If you want to look more professional go for a cut slightly below your collarbone with fun layers that can be pull back during work hours. Versatile Hair.
