Scott,
Thanks for asking this question. We seem to be a lot alike in our confusion. ;)
1) None of the 3 priests that I've met have beards. (2 Antichioan and One Greek). Bishop ANTOUN doesn't have a beard, either.
2) Does Fr. Alex have a beard, Scott?
3) In my research about women's headcoverings, I saw this link posted in a blog

scroll down to post #55.
(Thanks to Alana at http://freetocover.blogspot.com/ for posting this link.)
4) I hope this helps. I'm not male so I have no idea what it's like to have a beard.
5) If I recall correctly from my Attic Greek class several years ago, don't the English words for \"barber\" and \"barbaric\" come from the Greek \"barbar\" meaning \"foreign?\" I seem to recall learning that the Greeks thought their bearded neighbors to be foreign and \"barbaric\". I might be wrong on this...
Peace, Janelle
