Yes, depending on what type of facial hair you are sporting it can interfere with the proper fit of a mask. Masks come in different sizes, at least they did where I worked, and had to be fitted to your face. Beards were a no no onboard a ship because you could not get a good seal when using the MSA Chemox breathing Apparatus. It used chemicals to produce oxygen to breath.
