Wahl Professionalis rolling out a new line of versatile products to help men look their best.
The Wahl 1919 line has 11 products that include hair care, hair styling, beard care and skin care.
“Wahl Professional took considerable care in developing a men’s grooming line that all professionals can embrace. These are products that deliver on the Wahl promise of 100 years of excellence," says Anne Marie Kollias, Wahl Professional’s U.S. Director of Sales and Marketing. “The Wahl 1919 grooming line gives barbers and stylists the ability to use Wahl Professional’s quality products on their clients from start to finish.”
