STERLING, Ill. – Men's grooming leader Wahl is bringing its Mobile Barbershop to NASCAR San Diego Weekend on Naval Base Coronado, from Friday, June 19, 2026, through Sunday, June 21, 2026, to celebrate this year's Wahl Benevolent Beards Contest. Starting at 9 a.m. (PDT), until the race concludes Friday through Sunday, attendees can stop by the barbershop for a FREE beard trim and learn about the contest. What's more, for every FREE beard trim Wahl will donate $100 to support Operation Warrior Wishes, up to $5,000. The organization brings thousands of veterans to professional sporting events completely free of charge.
"Our Benevolent Beards initiative is about celebrating men with facial hair who use their passions and platforms to make a positive impact in their communities," said Zach Wyer, Sr. Director of U.S. Marketing for Wahl®. "This contest shines a spotlight on individuals who are giving back, supporting meaningful causes and making a difference where they live and work."

San Diego is the last 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 a video of themselves either explaining or demonstrating how they support a charity on the contest entry page they can also get to the page by visiting @WahlGrooming 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. So, whether you're an animal advocate or helping humans, you have the chance to put your good grooming toward goodwill.
Following the entry period, 5 finalists will each win $500 for themselves, $500 for their charity and a Wahl PRO SERIES High Visibility Trimmer. Things get exciting in August when public votes help determine which finalist wins the Grand Prize of $5,000 for himself, $20,000 for his charity and a visit from the Wahl Mobile Barbershop to do a grooming event where barbers will offer the public FREE beard trims.
