Hey, scruffy Charlotte dudes, now's your to clean up your act.
WAHL, a leading manufacturer of grooming products, will be coming to Taste of Charlotte this weekend to help the area's unkempt men get a handle on their facial hair for free. This way you guys can nosh down on food at the Taste festival without getting any of it stuck in your facial hair. That is never cute.
The service is part of WAHL's Let It Grow Tour. The tour's mission is to "Support men on their quest to define their personal style, and educate those seeking assistance from facial hair experts." See the press release below for more info.
WAHL’s 30-foot mobile barbershop features a team of professional facial hair stylists who are prepped to groom men, offer tips and when prompted discuss sports, vintage cars and other topics heard in a typical barber shop. For those looking for a little more pampering and entertainment, the barbershop also offers WAHL massage products, a strongman competition and music.Taste of Charlotte from June 11 to June 13 located on Tyron Street from MLK Jr. Boulevard to 6th Street. The trimming team with be in full force from:
- June 11 – 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
- June 12 – 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
- June 13 – 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
If looking your best is not enough of an incentive for guys to participate, WAHL hopes they will consider supporting a great cause. For every trim performed, WAHL will donate one dollar (up to a maximum of $2,500) to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, a non-profit organization that honors America’s fallen firefighters and assists their surviving families and coworkers.
In addition, those freshly groomed Charlotte men that participate are automatically entered into the 5th annual WAHL Man of the Year photo contest, a search of the best beard, mustache and goatee in America. One finalist will be named in each category at all tour stops. National winners will receive a 42-inch flat panel HDTV in each category. WAHL will post all eligible entries to www.wahlnation.com beginning May 31, 2010 and voting will remain open through November 8, 2010 at 5 p.m. CST to determine the finalists. All finalists will win an mp4 player. The national winners in each category – beard, mustache, and goatee – will be announced by February 15, 2010. Entry into the WAHL Man of the Year competition can be done on-site during the WAHL Let It Grow mobile tour or at www.wahlnation.com beginning May 28 at 5 p.m. CST.
