I also heard that she developed an allergy to her make up and that's why they changed her hairdo toward the end, to hide the fact that her ears weren't made up.
But that had nothing to do with her being fired, in fact she wasn't even their primary victim when it comes to firing anyone. Kim (Garret Wang) was.

As for her hairdo, I liked the short hairstyle better. It was a sort of trademark which made her Kes. She looked good in log hair too but it made her more anonymous in some way, just like any anonymous Starfleet crewmember running by in the corridor.
 
Yes, but she no longer looked like an alien. So people would have to be reminded constantly that she was one.

It would be like Jery Ryan becoming allergic to her borg implants.
They could have found some other stuff to fix her ears. I'm sure they could have solved this.

Precisely, when her ears weren't made up that limited the possibilities for her hairdo.

Right, it did take anything alien away from her. I just personally am not a huge fan of short hair on women.
