sideburned

Having facial hair

Having sideburns—strips of facial hair grown down the sides of the face in front of the ears: a sideburned Elvis impersonator, the sideburned men of the 1970s.

The word typically describes men, though the style itself varies from modest patches to dramatic mutton chops.
