Cuffing off the hair of a samurai was seen as an insult because hair was considered a sign of honor and status in Japanese culture. It was also a way to strip them of their identity and humiliate them in public. Samurai would often commit ritual suicide if they were dishonored in such a way.

What was a samurai like?

they were actually really big jerks. They were very evil, infact if a peseant looked at them wrong they would chop their head off. _____ The above is partially correct, though obviously not quite impartial or useful. The samurai lived by a very strict code of honour called Bushido. It should be noted however, that this code of honour had less to do with acting honourably towards others than it did with preserving one's own honour, or face. For example, any samurai could kill any non-samurai at any time, and would be responsible only to his daimyo (lord) as to the necessity of the act. Failure to show proper respect in speech or actions (not bowing low enough, for example), would be a direct insult to the samurai's honour, which would not be tolerated and the offender put to death. Other than this, the samurai were just people, and just as trapped in the rigid class system of feudal Japan as everyone else was.
