    There are a few reasons businesses end up on our 
    prohibited list: they're full of fraud (get rich quick
    schemes), legally regulated (guns, drugs), or regulated 
    by card companies (pornography).
I'm curious about which category "(51) personal computer technical support" and "(54) human hair, fake hair or hair-extensions" fall into?

Both are, weirdly enough, replete with fraud. I've no idea why -- human hair seems especially baffling. (Though I've heard suggestions that it relates to human trafficking.)

We can waive these when it seems reasonable (and we're not otherwise precluded from working with the business). If we ever do come across a legitimate business selling human hair, we might try to figure out a way to make it work.
