Can a change in hairstyle fix a breakup? | Ft. Vibhor | The Fashion Scoop, Ep 44

Vibhor explains that Noy began with his father, who chose the German rooted spelling N-E-U because it meant something new. That still sits at the center of the salon. People come in, try things, and make something fresh out of the day. The talk then gets playful about identity, including whether Vibhor feels more Gen Z or millennial. Soon enough, the mullet walks in and takes over. He describes the cut as longer in the front and back, shorter on the sides, with a retro biker feel. The host gets the picture fast. Vibhor says the team tried it first on one of their own artists after spotting it on an actor or someone similar. It landed, so they made content around it, and he credits that push with helping the mullet catch on again in India. Under the haircut chat is a gripe about sameness. Indian men, he says, often ask for one familiar fade, while the States has more play between taper, low, and high fades.

The episode ends loose and personal, with laughter, banter, and Vibhor saying he does not want to settle in one city because travel matters to him.
