MILWAUKEE, Nov. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- When Ben Tajnai performs the national anthem at Milwaukee Bucks games, they typically win — last Wednesday night was no different. After the team's lucky charm dazzled the crowd with his rendition of 'The Star-Spangled Banner,' the Bucks went on to a 109-102 victory. But Bucks players weren't the only winners – men's grooming leader Wahl made sure of it. Newly dubbed as the 'Most Talented Beard in America,' Tajnai was able to celebrate his victory with 17,000 of his biggest supporters.

Ben Tajnai has graced thousands with his angelic voice, most notably singing the National Anthem for the Milwaukee Bucks. It’s been said he was the team’s lucky charm during the 2021 NBA Finals, and fans repaid him in a big way by helping him bring home his own big championship win. As the 1st place winner in the Wahl ‘Most Talented Beard in America’ contest, Tajnai scored $20,000 and the title of ‘Wahl Man of the Year’. He also got to celebrate with Bucks fans when the Wahl Mobile Barbershop parked outside Fiserv Forum for some game-day grooming.

All whiskers were welcome at the Wahl Mobile Barbershop outside Fiserv Forum for free beard grooming. And once facial-haired fans were cleaned up they could get a pic with the new 'Wahl Man of the Year' Ben Tajnai.

Ben Tajnai's dazzling rendition of the national anthem at Milwaukee Bucks games won him the title of Wahl's ‘Most Talented Beard in America,’ and $20,000.

Prior to the game, all whiskers were welcomed to Fiserv Forum for free beard trims at Wahl's giant Mobile Barbershop. Once visitors were camera-ready, they were invited to take a picture with the bearded winner himself. The fun continued inside the arena, as halftime concluded, Tajnai took his place center court and was presented with his 1^st place, $20,000 check. Shortly after the on-court presentation, the Wahl 'beard cam' highlighted facial haired fans in the crowd.

"What an amazing evening for me and my family," Tajnai said. "It's an honor to be named the 'Most Talented Beard in America,' especially in front of the people who voted for me. It was certainly a night I will never forget."

Tajnai plans to use his winnings to take his wife and three kids on a well-deserved vacation. "What's even better is that we know there will be money left over to donate to a charity," he continued.

About the 'Most Talented Beard in America' Contest

Wahl knows there's a wealth of whiskered talent out there, so this past July the company launched a search for furry phenoms. The goal of the contest was to shine a spotlight on entertainers and achievers who make the world a better, or 'bearder,' place to live. Hundreds of hairy hopefuls submitted videos of their talents, 10 finalists were chosen, and public votes determined the top 3 winners. In addition to Tajnai's 1^st place $20,000 prize, the 2^nd place winner won a hefty $10,000 and 3^rd place walked away with $5,000.
