STERLING, Ill., March 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Men's grooming leader Wahl^® is bringing its Mobile Barbershop to Calle Ocho Music Festival in Miami, on Sunday, March 15, 2026, to celebrate the launch of this year's Wahl^® Benevolent Beards Contest while also giving back in a big way. From 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. (EST), festival attendees can stop by the barbershop for a FREE beard trim and to learn about the contest. For every trim, Wahl^® will donate $100 to the Kiwanis of Little Havana Foundation up to $5,000. The foundation's mission is to help underserved Hispanic youth in Miami thrive through education, technology, health and community-based programs.

"Benevolent Beards is about celebrating men with facial hair who use their passion and platform to make a positive impact," said Zach Wyer, Sr. Director of U.S. Marketing for Wahl^®. "By bringing our Mobile Barbershop to communities across the country, we're turning great grooming into real support for local organizations doing great work. We're excited to partner with Kiwanis of Little Havana Foundation and invest in Miami's youth."

Miami is the first stop on Wahl^®'s coast-to-coast tour supporting the 2026 Wahl^® Benevolent Beards Contest, which rewards men who are making the world a "bearder" place to live.

How to Enter the Wahl^® Benevolent Beards Contest

From now until July 1, 2026, men with beards can upload video of themselves either explaining or demonstrating how they support a charity on the contest entry page at https://bit.ly/BenevolentBeards2026, they can also get to the page by visiting @WahlGrooming on Instagram, TikTok or Facebook and @WahlPro on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook. What kind of charity? As long as it's a 501(c)(3) organization with a goal to impact the world positively, all charities will be considered.
