In your situation since you are cutting a significant length off of it I would ask. I don't ask if I am only cutting a few inches off, but if it is a little girl with significantly long hair and she will look different then I would say yes.
I know that I am no role model, but I never ask. I usually ask after the fact or explain to them why the hair was cut i.e. lice, knots, etc. I have cut 5 of my foster children's hair and only 1 parent complained. Their caseworker just said "Oh they will get over it". She said "Next time call me and I will give you the go ahead". Usually I think the caseworkers will approve it and then take the heat. I wouln't cut their hair if I thought it was going to cause major controversy and conflict, but so far I haven't had any problems.
