STERLING, Ill. (March 10, 2018) – For facial haired men, and the women who love them, a neat beard means more than a well-groomed look — mess-free trimming is high on their list of priorities. That’s why men’s grooming leader Wahl is introducing two new trimmers.

STERLING, Ill. (Jan. 9, 2018) – It was a race to the finish line, but in the end Motor City’s own Jason Heien triumphed in Wahl’s annual Man of the Year Contest. From coast to coast, Wahl’s mobile barbershop visited the Top 10 Most Facial Hair Friendly Cities in America in search of the most sensational scruff. After scouring through hundreds of entries, 11 men ‘made the cut’ as finalists in the contest, but no one could keep up with Heien’s beard.

STERLING, ILL. (Nov. 7, 2017) – Now through Dec. 7, 2017, your vote will help determine the best beard in America. Men’s grooming leader, Wahl, spent the last year traveling to the Most Facial Hair Friendly Cities in America; along the way, 11 finely groomed gentlemen ‘made the cut’ and were crowned champion of their city. These whisker worthy specimens are now finalists in the annual Wahl Man of the Year Contest. They are going face to face, as votes on the Wahl Grooming Facebook page will help determine who wins the Grand Prize, which includes the title of Wahl Man of the Year, $1,500 and being featured in a national ad.
