My german and spanish teacher in middle school had purple hair, a nose peircing, and some interesting ear peircings. She was in her 40's or 50's and is one of the coolest women I have ever met. She was always very professional, and no one ever had a complaint about her. She had been teaching at the school for many years, and had gotten cancer and lost all her hair. When her hair grew back after she recovered, she decided to have fun with it, and dyed it purple. I think that even with peircings and crazy hair colors and what not, people can still look professional, and what happened to this woman was inappropriate. She was probably a fine substitute, and no one has the right to fire someone based on appearance.
