Officials facial hair and hair style

I actually was told by someone with regards to a corporate environment, not refereeing, that said people are less likely to trust someone w/ facial hair - there was some study or something in a business journal about it.

So.....would you trust this guy? Better yet - would you ref with him? I'd love to see him work a Coach K game.

I've heard this as well. Not that I'm concerned about it, though. I don't like a mustache, and I'm not allowed to wear a goatee.
