It depends on what type of respirator you're talking about.
If you're talking about a tight fitting, negative pressure respirator, then facial hair can be worn as long as it doesn't interfere with the seal. Examples of tight fitting negative pressure respirators are 3M's 8210, 8511, 6200, 7502, or 6800.
Even in tight fitting, positive pressure applications, facial hair cannot come between the seal of the respirator to the face and fit testing is still required.
One of the main advantages of loose fitting positive pressure respirators is that more facial hair can be worn. Again, no facial hair can interfere with the seal of the respirator to the face but loose fitting respirators would include hoods like a 3M H410 or any 3M L Series headgear.
Read OSHA reg 1910.134 and 3M.com/OccSafety for more info.
