What is the stance on facial hair in the Chinese professional workplace?

For a Westerner...that is. One that would be involved in the Chinese corporate world for a couple months. What extent and what styles of facial hair are permitted for men?What is the stance on facial hair in the Chinese professional workplace?

why the concern? Be real, be yourself, damn the rice eaters!
Chinese men typically don't have facial hair themselves, but since you are a foreigner, it is totally acceptable. In many places in China, the simple fact that you are a foreigner means that people will stare at you no matter what you look like. Keep in mind, though, that the more facial hair you have, the more attention you will get. Don't worry about your hair, worry about making sure you know more about Chinese business culture. For example, when someone gives you their business card, you should always take it with both hands, not just one.
~none for women LOL. Men can have nicely groomed mustaches and beards, nothing ungroomed or unkempt~
