Portraits of Fatherhood from the Barbershop With Vince Garcia
Ahead of Father's Day on June 15,Dior Beauty, in conversation with renowned barber andDior SauvageGrooming AmbassadorVince Garcia, celebrates a new generation of men redefining what it means to lead with intention in their respective communities as professionals and fathers. Centered in the heart of the barbershop — a cultural hub in its own right — Garcia talks shop with founder and managing partner ofTeam EpiphanyColtrane Curtisand the founder ofBrooklyn Stroll Club,Joe Gonzales, about the importance of self-care and shaping their legacies through fatherhood, community building, and entrepreneurship. Hypebeast met up with the squad at Well Connected, a barbershop in the Lower East Side neighborhood, to see Garcia's expert lineups in motion. A trusted barber for over 23 years, Garcia has become a go-to name for celebrities and athletes. His ability to provide razor-sharp advice for friends and loved ones lucky enough to grace his chair has catapulted his career to new heights. Appearances on HBO'sThe Shopand his ongoing Dior ambassadorship showcase a growing legacy forged by precision, authenticity and dedication. Garcia often jokes that barbers double as therapists — his service creates space for candid conversations about fatherhood, success and raising the next generation to stay true to their values. Coltrane and Gonzales, both arriving for a well-deserved shape-up, speak with the A-list barber about how he keeps himself and his clients in top shape and the nuances of balancing work ventures with familial commitments. During his sessions, Garcia spotlights the benefits of theDior Sauvage Skincare Ritual Set, including the charcoal-infused cleanser, a toner formulated with cactus extract and a serum. Combined in a three-step program, these products help minimize the appearance of pores and clarify the skin, bringing anti-aging benefits and casual luxury to men's daily routines. 'More people are tapping into self-care, especially with men sharing more self-care routines on social media, there's more out there to help men feel confident. It's a part of my job to help educate my clients on products they can benefit from,' says Garcia. He credits the serum with providing a glowy complexion post-shave, using it in combination with the toner to help soften and hydrate Coltrane's skin and beard. Beautifying is rarely perceived as masculine, but in Garcia's chair, it becomes a badge of strength, where men see the real-time benefits of carving time out in the day to maintain their appearances. Grooming, like fatherhood, has a transformative power to radically change how one self-actualizes. 'When it comes to grooming,' shares Gonzales, 'I want my son to see me looking and feeling amazing so he can do the same and know how to represent himself out there.' On the subject of strength and teaching his children the equal importance of vulnerability, Garcia admits it's a delicate process that continues to illuminate his parenting. 'Communication is key. I'm still learning and trying to improve every day,' he says. 'It's the balance of finding those moments of vulnerability and showing your kids that it's okay to feel. It's okay to express. They are like sponges, so they see and hear how I react to certain situations. It's about being more mindful and intentional with their time, being as present as possible, and giving them the tools to feel safe to move throughout the world.' Coltrane Curtis also attests to teaching his boys that strength is not the quality of tearing others down. At the helm of Team Epiphany, a full-service marketing agency known for buzzworthy campaigns and experiential events, Coltrane manages a hectic schedule alongside his wife, who he shares two sons, ages six and thirteen. 'I was just having a similar conversation about earning your place in culture,' he tells Hypebeast. 'Image, appearance, presence — everything that you do creates a conversation that allows people to understand your depth, your brilliance and how sharp you are. There's still the need to have substance, but your image is the gatekeeper in a sense to those entry points — to socializing and opportunities made from first impressions.' As the conversation shifts to support systems that help men grow into fatherhood, Coltrane also shares thoughts on the importance of establishing a chosen family through communal outreach. 'It's a matter of being able to wholeheartedly trust the community that you build around them and help raise them with. I raise my children with the same amount of love and protection that I want my community to give.' Next up in the chair is Joe Gonzales, the founder and heart and soul behind theBrooklyn Stroll Club, a community of fathers in the tristate area who meet up for casual hangouts around the city with their children. Before providing a razor shave, Garcia applies the charcoal cleanser to Gonzales, massaging the product in and letting it rest as an impromptu facial mask to remove impurities and refine his complexion. Enjoying the benefits of the mask as it dries down, Gonzales notes that forging community is a self-care gesture ingrained in self-perseverance, and as a first-time father, the Brooklyn Stroll Club is his social lifeline. 'I see it being the place where dads can feel seen. I don't even know who I was before I became a dad, and it's such a beautiful process,' Gonzales shares with the group. The club provides a space for dads to bond with their children and build support structures that strengthen their ability to acclimate to the demands of parenting — from diapers to nap schedules. 'We hope to continue to build a space that gives dads community and confidence, and hopefully that builds into more as time goes on. It's a space for me to find people who are going through similar things [as a father].' Similarly, mentorship opportunities have allowed Garcia to make impactful connections with the city's youth. 'I've worked a lot with the Boys and Girls Club and was previously a part of a foundation called Trade-Works, where we would go to Jamaica and Kingston and teach kids the importance of barbering and tools to become confident and successful,' shares Garcia. 'It's as simple as giving back, embracing my culture as a Filipino, and exploring larger ways that I can elevate and educate those around me.' Many parents can attest to reevaluating their relationships to health upon the arrival of their first child. At one point during the discussion, Coltrane cites the passing of his father as emotional fuel to invest in his long-term health while also passing along the importance of maintaining one's mental health and spirit. 'I've been vulnerable and honest with [my kids] about my experiences regarding health and mental health. Hopefully, my goal is to help them not walk through the same portals of sheer ignorance and fear. Things happen, things come up, but there are solutions. Sometimes it's just a matter of reminding yourself that your children are emotionally intelligent and capable of learning hard life lessons with grace,' he shares. Those little moments of care, for oneself and for others, reverberate throughout a lifetime. It takes a village, and for what it's worth, fathers deserve their flowers too.

Moody Soju Cocktails and Dim Sum Reign at Oakland's Neon-Lit Mahjong Den
Just as mahjong reaches new TikTok-fueled heights, an Oakland bar and restaurant swoops in to make good on the legendary pastime. The new 13 Orphans opened Friday, May 30, in downtown Oakland, just upstairs from Baba's House. Jenn Lui, Alan Chen, and Eman Garcia own the entire building now, including the first-floor restaurant space and this second-story newcomer. The Asian American-centered mahjong clubhouse provides tea-infused cocktails — and 'tea-tails' (alcohol optional) — with Filipino and Chinese dim sum-inspired bites and bookable tables for laying down tiles through the late night. At 13 Orphans, Lui handles the drinks while Garcia runs the kitchen. Lui found inspiration in the five elements of traditional Chinese culture; to honor the earth, a 2014 Shu pu'erh tea mingles with lapsang souchong tepache, cinnamon, beetroot juice, black sugar, and pear-infused soju for the Pu'er Petrichor. The watermelon tonic, nodding towards metal, blends a Gongmei white tea with goji-infused soju and pei pa lo, a Chinese herbal cough suppressant. Lui worked with Hatching Dragon and Teaphile, a source and an importer of Chinese teas to the Bay Area. Garcia walked through a variety of inspirations for the small bites-focused menu. The Chinoy siu mai is a pork belly, prawn, water chestnut, and smoked trout roe play on the classic dim sum dish popular for Chinese and Filipino diners alike. Plates are just a few bites-worth, sort of the opposite size and scope of the kamayan meals he's prepared with his friends and family for Baba's House events since its debut over three years ago. The first floor, previously BHK, is now exclusively Baba's House. The food and drink menus for that project are still forthcoming. Getting a table at 13 Orphans aims to be difficult: Groups book a game table for just 45 minutes. There are just 16 seats at the reservation-only space. The name 13 Orphans is a nod to an obscure hand to draw in mahjong, a game Lui points out is essentially gambling. Throughout the years at Baba's House, mahjong nights were booked out over and over. The comedy nights and live music were well-attended, too, sure. But mahjong just kept doing numbers. They've hosted free classes for more than three years now. Lui, at least, says she feels the game is reaching a fever pitch due to a generational passing of the torch through immigrant communities to the digital natives, the same that are eschewing binge drinking and clubbing more than their predecessors. 'Once we took over the restaurant, we were trying to identify who we are,' Lui says. 'The personality forming within our community.' Baba's House itself sprang from Lui's mind. The hope was to honor her dad, who died in 2020, and Chen and Garcia joined her on her quest to build community and feed their friends. Chen points out that all three co-owners claim Chinese ancestry, though only Lui is fully Cantonese (Chen is half-Taiwanese, and Garcia is Filipino, as well). Now, this project is meant to give the three founders a chance to move their intentions into an even more specific, upscale project. 'With Baba's House, we did what we thought was going to make our community happy and grow our community,' Garcia says. 'Now with 13 Orphans, we can be intentional and deliberate about what we want to do, and we've built up a community that trusts us [to do that].' 13 Orphans (410 15th Street, Oakland) is available for reservation and open 6 to 10 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday.

Artem Chigvintsev Drops $915K On New Purchase After Nikki Garcia Divorce Payout
is making moves, both personally and financially, following the finalization of his divorce from . Nearly two weeks after details of their settlement were made public, Artem Chigvintsev made a major purchase in California, signaling a fresh start as he looks ahead to the next chapter of his life. The 42-year-old "Dancing with the Stars" pro has purchased a new home in Napa, California, for $915,000, per Us Weekly. The 2,395-square-foot property features three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and scenic views of nearby mountains, offering a fresh start for the newly single dad. The real estate move comes nearly two weeks after details of Chigvintsev's divorce settlement with Garcia were made public. The former couple, who share 4-year-old son, Matteo, officially settled their divorce out of court in November 2024 following a turbulent split. As The Blast previously reported, Garcia agreed to pay Chigvintsev $3,500 per month in child support and a lump sum of $200,000, with half to be paid immediately and the remainder due by the end of 2025. 'Divorce has to deal with the paper, the contract you signed during marriage. The day of marriage, at the court before marriage, whatever,' Garcia said during a May episode of her 'The Nikki & Brie Show' podcast, which she hosts with her sister. 'So, our settlement is what everyone saw. Yes, I had to give him $200,000. Spousal support, alimony.' Brie Garcia then quipped, 'That's what happens when you're the breadwinner.' The exes will also split holidays with their son. No further information regarding their custody arrangement was disclosed. Chigvintsev's new home is located just a few miles from the house he previously shared with Garcia, keeping him close to Matteo. A rep for the dancer tells Us Weekly, 'Mr. Chigvintsev's sole focus and highest priority remains the well-being of his son. With that in mind, he will not be providing any further comments regarding this personal matter and respectfully requests continued privacy for both himself and his son moving forward.' Chigvintsev and Garcia filed for divorce in August 2024 after an alleged physical altercation in Napa. Garcia claimed that Chigvintsev began yelling at her after she asked him to make their son Matteo's English muffin a bit crispier, accusing her of making Matteo a picky eater and refusing to let her speak. In her declaration, Garcia stated that she tried to defuse the tension by stepping away to load Matteo's belongings into the car. "I just wanted to get Matteo out of the house until Artem cooled off," she wrote. "I grabbed Matteo's shoes and told Matteo it was time to put his shoes on.' Garcia claimed that as Chigvintsev continued yelling, she became so overwhelmed that she threw their toddler's shoes at him, which hit his leg. She admitted it was a lapse in judgment, but emphasized the shoes were lightweight and couldn't have caused harm. Also in her divorce filing, Garcia alleged that a heated argument escalated when Chigvintsev became furious, grabbed their son Matteo, and ran upstairs. She followed, fearing for Matteo's safety, and said Chigvintsev tried to block her from entering their son's room. According to her statement, she managed to push the door open slightly and saw Matteo looking frightened. Artem then allegedly tackled her, pinned her to the ground, and later forced her into the bathroom, pressing on her chest until she felt like she was suffocating. Garcia claimed he stopped when he saw the panic in her eyes. When police arrived, Matteo reportedly told them, 'Daddy hurt my hand.' At the time, Chigvintsev was arrested and booked on a felony domestic violence charge. He was released on bail the same day. Both parties filed restraining orders against each other in the weeks that followed, though they were later dropped. Despite the headlines, both Chigvintsev and Garcia appear focused on co-parenting their son and moving forward with their lives separately. The new home marks a significant step in that process for Chigvintsev as he begins this next chapter, with Matteo at the center of it.
