They don't actually get a hair shave. What happens is that the clippers are used on the scalp. The original reason was to prevent vermin from spreading throughout the company. Such vermin include lice and nits. Since these vermin infest hair, it is the simplest way to stop infestations..get rid of the hair, get rid of the infestations. Secondary to this is the uniformity of all new recruits having the same experience.
