Wahl Looking for Great Facial Hair – July 13th
Pioneer Square presents yet another fun and out-of-the-box experience to Portland! Wahl, the men’s grooming leader, cited Portland as the #9 Facial Hair Friendly City in America. We haven’t done our research on that claim, but to celebrate, Wahl will be at Pioneer Square with their 30-foot mobile barbershop. Master barbers will be offering free “manscaping” to everyone who needs it, all while seeking out a guy with the best scruff to represent the Rose City as the Wahl Man of Portland. The winner of the contest will win $500 and go on to compete as the Wahl Man of the Year. Come out, get your facial hair trimmed, and learn how to vote for your favorite face. All benefits from the event go to ZERO, a nonprofit organization with the mission of ending prostate cancer.
