5 incredible fragrances guaranteed to boost your mood and confidence

Quick: What do David Beckham, Zayn Malik, Chris Hemsworth, and Will Smith have in common? Besides having recognizable names and faces, the four men are among the many who have sported a fade cut for men in recent years. The haircuts are recognizable but in a know-it-when-you-see-it kind of way. What is a fade cut?
"A fade is a fresh cut where your hair gradually blends from longer on top to super short or skin on the sides and back," said Joshua Meekins, aka Meet The Barber, who works with RED by Kiss and RED Pro and is the trusted barber for NFL star, Jalen Hurts. "It’s clean, sharp, and very versatile."
As with any hairstyle, including a classic crew to embracing no hair at all, opting to get a fade cut is about more than hopping on a trend bandwagon. Fads come and go, but the Instagram photos are forever.

What is a fade cut?

When NFL commissioner Roger Goodell takes to the podium in Green Bay to start the 2025 NFL draft, the spotlight will quickly shift to the 32 men about to become first-round picks. Everything about them will be assessed and judged, from their athletic measurables and college tape to their character and appearance.
Don’t underestimate the importance of how they look. There are entire teams who put in hours helping them get it right, and this year, Vince Garcia and American Crew are in on the game. Garcia, who goes by Vince the Barber in his IG, is a stylist who counts the likes of LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Lewis Hamilton among his clients, along with rappers like Drake and Ludacris.
This year, he’s partnered up with American Crew to help Malaki Starks, Tyler Shough, and Green Bay tight end Luke Musgrave get the right look on this pivotal night, so we decided to get some insights about how he does it.

The hairstyling process starts with relationships

For every man, there comes a pivotal moment that defines the way he’ll look for the rest of his life (or at least the next few weeks or months). It’s basically a style scenario, and it’s called the "mustache moment."
While the decision to "stache" or not to "stache" might look simple, it can get tricky in a hurry. Mustaches can be fickle beasts that are hard to get right, and they don’t always work the way we want. I tried one when I was in the military, and while it fell into the "good but not great" category, I hated constantly having it grow over my upper lip, so I ditched it for a full beard after I did my hitch.
This kind of experience isn’t uncommon, but there are plenty of ways to do it better. Breaking down the stylistic choices is one way, and consulting a pro can be incredibly helpful, so let’s go there.
