My hometown (Jersey City, NJ) instituted a dress code for ninth graders (so that in three years it will affect all public high school students) this academic year, and it naturally met with much upset. Students talked about their rights of self-expression, to which the district's reply was that these students can express themselves on their own time, at home.
Having attended private school K-12, I always had to wear uniforms. I must say it relieved much of the pressure of not having the "in" thing at the time. Like it or not, when the children enter the real world, if they truly want to succeed, they will have to follow the dress code rules.
As far as hair goes, I'm a little more flexible. I think it should be in good taste.
