Double entendre aside, is it rude and/or bad etiquette to ask a provider for a picture without a blurred face?  Even if it isn't, are they just going to tell me to fuck off anyway?

there's a reason why!  
Why you think you are so special for us to show a pic of our face?  

but you will probably not get the answer you want. As Veronica stated, there's a reason why some providers don't show their face in pictures.

Its just stupid.  Last time I checked, selling sexual services is still illegal in the US.  Many of these ladies do this part time and have a day job where the other employees may not appreciate the convenience of having an escort working in the office.  (Mostly women are the unappreciative ones.)  For a lot of them, their families do not know that they do this kind of work and they go to great lengths to keep it UTR.  If you find a provider that will give you a face photo prior to meeting you the first time, then either she is already "out" as an escort, or else she's also stupid.  How does she know what you will do with the photo once you have it?

I don't know what the percentage is of all the women listed here but it's substantial.

If she wanted to advertise her face, she would.  Now menu items...  Once you are BCD then COF is a question, but not before, unless advertised.

It is no wonder why women see hobbyist as saps and worthless men.

Probably the same reaction I had when I was asked for a copy of my photo ID - No fucking way!

already gone public that they're a provider, then there is no reason to blur the face, but I don't think the OP was referring to those.  I could be wrong, but I don't think so.  

it's a pretty stupid thing to do if you don't want her hanging up on you thinking there's something suspicious about you. How does she know you're not a cop who's phishing around for incriminating evidence to use against her in a court of law? I know because there's this one bp ad in particular where the provider is always requesting the man's face pic along with his dick pic, and she's not a bad looking specimen herself,  
but everytime I see it, I decide I'm not going to call her because how do I know she's not going to either; (a) turn my pics over to the police as evidence, or (b) oust me as a john by posting my pics on facebook where my family could see it, or both? You can either take a chance and do a cold meeting with her hoping she's at least half way hot, or you can read her reviews where her facial qualities will be described in detail. It's best to have a blurred face, (and perhaps it's even fun trying to guess what she looks like) than for her to post a face pic and it turns out to be a photo of someone else entirely.

Even with review scores in the 8-10 range for appearance, I was somewhat disappointed in their face about 50% of the time, and VERY disappointed about 15%. Now I only see providers who advertise with unblurred pics. Better, yet are selfies, and the best is video.  

whether it be from a provider or hobbyist.

Lucky client.  I'd love to experience an Oriental experience.

If you can't resist an escort's ad that doesn't provide these, ask if she has a meet-n-greet option or 1/2 hour rates. The less you invest (time and money) in an ugly provider, the sooner you can get back in the game.  

but it is a great way to land on her DNS list.  

I understand now what Orientalsin meant.  However, she probably doesn't have anything to worry about because all Orientals look alike.  She could just say that her picture is someone else.

CEO, when did you stop beating your wife?

After all, is there anyone you know more pathetic than him?

That’s the problem with face shots LE and  Hotel management can spot you a mile away .  And possibly the person asking for the headshot is the management of the hotel or LE.  So when you say is rude I don’t think it’s rude as much is scary because it makes us think you’re a problem. LE.   So rude I don’t think it’s rude that’s the wrong word.  Everyone’s trying to stay anonymous here we use funny names  and we don’t interfere and each other’s lives .

I don't meet with a provider if I don't see a face photo. On the other hand, a provider who does not offer a face photo does not want her/his face associated with this hobby, so I just skip them and select from those who do provide what I prefer, which is a face photo. It's okay to ask, to answer your question, but those who don't have their reasons and I wouldn't expect a positive response,
