In most stores it wouldn't, but in a high fashion salon were the employees are expected to look like living manikins, it might.

A devil mask is a bit different. So is a scarf hiding the face. There are good reasons why an employer and customers would want to see the face of the person they are dealing with.
Yeah, certain accommodations should be allowed, on a case by case basis. I know Sikhs wear their traditional turbans, once saw a truck driver wearing one. They also have the traditional dagger that they wear. So one could argue that is ok to wear the turban but not ok to wear the dagger, for security reasons, though Sikhs are usually, that I am aware of, more peaceful than most other religions from the Indian subcontinent.
