Maybe, maybe not. Grooming policies are legal, but selective enforcement of them is not, and sometimes the policies themselves can be discriminatory. In addition, there are many religions that require accommodation in grooming and appearance, and there may be a requirement that your employer accommodate your appearance in situations of sincerely held religious beliefs. It depends a lot on what others look like and what you look like, what the employment situation is, and whether giving the grooming policy to you implies some kind of ethnic, race, or gender discrimination or bias. It's often hard to answer questions like this without more information about the situation. I do suggest you contact an attorney by telephone to see if there are other important facts that might change the outcome of this situation.
