I was expecting something clearly offensive, like FUCK YOU shaved into his head, but nope.

Personally, I think his hair looks pretty cool.

Seems like clear cut discrimination, I hope they're able to fight this. The rules say "no hair below the eyebrows" and he's pretty clearly not breaking that rule.
