"...short enough I won't light it on fire..." The seems to imply that this has already happened, or come close to happening. Maybe just go shoulder-length. You can still put it up and if you're lighting it on fire then you're probably going to singe your eyebrows, too.
I would say if she's only been a bitch the past few months, give her a chance. However, if she was a bitch in high school and since then, there's only so much you can take. It sounds like she's trying to contact you again, but if you're getting the sense that she's lonely, she may turn back into uber-bitch once she starts finding something to keep her occupied. All in all, it's okay to put yourself first. Think about what her friendship means to you, and what you will be gaining from this friendship. If she is going to dramatize your life and add stress, then I say it's not worth it. At least for now.

I've seen your hair at various lengths, and I'd say that it's better being long-ish because it nicely frames your face. Also, you don't want to chip it off with no warning or your daughter might not recognize you. (Speaking from the memory of my dad shaving off his moustache when my brother was one... Tom wouldn't go near him until it grew back.)
As for bitches? I don't know all of the circumstances, but if it's frustrating enough for you to take a poll, then that should be answer enough. In the past year or so, I've developed two rules when developing friendships/acquaintances: a) I do not suffer fools, and 2) I do not hold grudges, or cut people out of my life lightly. If this is a person who brings something meaningful to your existence, than it's worth keeping her as a friend. If this is someone who is more a burden than a help to you, and you're only friends because you feel she needs it, that's a one-sided relationship, and you don't deserve that.
