Is it even common for superheroines to have short hair? That always seems to get backlash, at least from what I've seen

Yeah, in 616, Janet's hair has never been longer than shoulder length (which is how she had it when she debuted). It has been shown longer in AUs though, such as the Marvel Adventures comics and the comic that page came from (the Origins one-shot, right?). Considering her wings, it's probably more practical for Janet to keep her hair short.

I remember that one-shot. I still like the old version, but the new version of when Pym met Jan was very interesting (IMHO):
Yeah, Hank was supposed to be older (like, at least grad student, older, so mid-20s?), and Jan the late teen daughter of the older guy who was mentoring / sponsoring him, or something like that.
That was sort of thing back then. Sue was supposed to be quite a bit younger than Reed, back in the day, as well (he had those gray streaks and Vietnam era backstory, and she was supposed to just be a few years older than Johnny, who was still a teen).
Today, probably best to just push that under the bridge and have them be mostly age-contemporary.
Well, if she was a legal adult when they met I don't think it's that much of an issue, but that's just my take.
