What about hair grooming?

You see a lot of things at the D1 level that you almost never see at the lower level college and HS varsity level.

Like I said, some things are pretty obvious. But this thread was started about a male ref with a ponytail. How many of those have you seen at the HS varsity level or higher? Find me one assignor who would call that professional. You can relate to presence and credibility right?.... I can't imagine a male ref with a ponytail who would have credibility with either coach or enough presence to offset the appearance.
