I'm saying this as somebody who personally loves stupid things that mess with appearance like barberang. Which I only mention because this does feel, to me, like a completely different ballpark.
I don't think it's a bad idea to let wizards have more customization options that don't include a beard. I feel like the workarounds like mutantraces and getting it trimmed without it coming up as a problem shows that actually it doesn't really need to be a thing, I've in truth, never shaved a wizard or ordered one shaved as HOS. Just because if it gets to the point I'm just gonna kill them. You can also remove the hat to stop spell casting if I recall. I think this is a really easy accommodation for style and aesthetic that doesn't really change gameplay much at all.
I think getting the option to play a more witchy or feminine aesthetic without the giant beard is perfectly fine and I agree that the joke of a wizard needing a beard to cast spells isn't as fun to me as more RP/aesthetic options.
