• holding that a policy imposing a hair-length restriction on men alone was not sex-based discrimination
• “grooming codes or length of hair is related more closely to the employer’s choice of how to run a business than to equality of employment opportunity”
• finding a hiring policy that distinguishes between genders for hair-length does not offend the Constitution
• grooming code required both male and female emplo6yees who came into contact with public to be neatly dressed and groomed in accordance with standards customarily accepted in the business community
• “Equal employment opportunity may be secured only when employers are barred from discriminating against employees on the basis of immutable characteristics, such as race and national origin.”
