EDIT: The screenshots of Rome, Carthage and Macedon - soldiers have the same face and shaved. I asked if it will be changed. In the post below Jack Lusted answered my question. Responded positively. Therefore I edited first post.
EDIT 2: I am happy, Greeks have beards!
It isn't true that all the Romans shaved clean. Although most of the Romans in the time of the republic didn't have facial hair, but sometimes it happens the Romans with facial hair.
1. REPUBLICAN ROMANS
An example is Titus Quinctius Flamininus. He had a beard and mustache. Titus Quinctius Flamininus (c. 229 BC - c 174 BC) was a Roman politician and general instrumental in the Roman conquest of Greece. In 197 BC he defeated Philip at the Battle of Cynoscephalae in Thessaly, the Roman Legions making the Macedonian phalanx obsolete in the process. Coin with him:
2. HELLENISTICS
Among the nation Hellenistic facial hair was more common than the Romans. Alexander Warriors were clean shaved, but after Alexander in Hellenistic states many warriors wore beards and mustache. Hellenistic kings often clean shaved, but not all. The following examples.
Hellenistic soldier with beard:
Philip V (238-179 BC) was King of Macedon from 221 to 179 BC. Philip's reign was principally marked by an unsuccessful struggle with the emerging power of Rome. Titus Quinctius Flamininus defeated Philip at the Battle of Cynoscephalae in Thessaly. Philip was attractive and charismatic as a young man. He had a beard and mustache:
Perseus (c. 212 – 166 BC) was the last king (Basileus) of the Antigonid dynasty, who ruled the successor state in Macedon created upon the death of Alexander the Great. He also has the distinction of being the last of the line, after losing the Battle of Pydna on 22 June 168 BC; subsequently Macedon came under Roman rule. He had a beard and mustache:

Hellenistic men often have curly hair. Note that for each coin or a fresco from the Hellenistic period men have curly hair:
