The leader of Breslov chassidus in America a couple generations ago, R’ Aryeh Tzvi Benzion Rosenfeld, wore only a short beard, and I think at times was “clean shaven.” In general, all chassidim wear beards, but Breslov is a more individualistic, and well, you can belong to a Chabad kiruv shul, daven Nusach Ari, consider yourself a Chabadnik, but not wear a beard and maintain a Modern Orthodox appearance.
