That's very different; hair doesn't perform membrane transport along its length. The surface of an axon is critical to the cell's functioning.

In addition to what mbauman said, hair follicles and the hair itself are not single-cell. I can't immediately find the composition and average cell size, but even a long and thick strand of hair is less than 2 orders of magnitude larger than the largest neurons. I doubt any individual hair cell is very large.
