I've actually heard several tales as to why foster parents have no control over haircuts. One of our former foster parents (she retired after the last kid grew out) cut the really, really long hair of a boy she had just received, in an attempt to make him more presentable for court. Turns out, the boy was Cherokee and it's of special significance to have long hair in that particular culture. The bio grandmother was devastated when she arrived to adopt him herself!
