A man’s grooming routine is frequently passed down from generation to generation—whether he’s guided by his father on the way to shave his neck, watched his uncle comb his hair, learned to wash under his nails before a date, he’ll carry those experiences with him throughout his life.
For Vaughn Acord, celebrity stylist, salon owner and founding father of the hot V76 by Vaughn, he learned of a “relaxed handsomeness” that comes from not trying too hard.
“As with fashion, hair changes from decade to decade, and a few looks never exit of fashion,” Acord says. “But a bob will always be a bob, whether it’s razor cut, broken, graduated or paired with bangs, it’s a bob. It’s as much as the stylist to interpret that classic shape.”
What has evolved during the last three decades, he says, is hair product. And, that’s what pushed Acord to launch V76 by Vaughn, a men’s line of specific, result-producing groomers designed to be, just like the bob, timeless.
“We’re all on a stage day-to-day by hook or by crook or another—whether it’s in a boardroom, in front of a camera, on a selling floor or in a law office,” Acord says. “Ultimately, what men want is confidence.”
In this collection, featured exclusively in MODERN SALON, Acord proves when a good cut is paired with confidence, any day may be “casual Friday.”
