Send Push

The barber behind the world-famous 'Ibiza Final Boss' haircut has finally revealed exactly what Jack Kay asks for to achieve his iconic look.

Ali Kurbani, the master barber at B&D Barbers in Blaydon, Newcastle, who created the signature style, has attracted attention from A-list celebrities and even inspired national ad campaigns. On Thursday, Ali welcomed Jack back into his chair before Jack heads off for another tour around Ibiza.

Ali admitted he was surprised to see his work making headlines. It comes after the now infamous Ibiza Final Boss' girlfriend spoke out after his incredible haircut went viral.

"I’ve been doing this job for a while, and this is incredible," he said. "We’ve been cutting Jack’s hair for about 10 years and never expected this level of attention."

Originally from Kurdistan, Ali explained that Jack has kept the same haircut for some time now. After much online speculation about the style - ranging from Robin Hood to a bowl cut or even a "short back and Battle of Hastings" - Ali finally set the record straight.

“To get this look, Jack asks for a medium skin fade with some length left on top,” Ali told The Sun. But the secret to the haircut’s sharp, Lego-like shape lies in keeping the fringe crisp and well-defined at the front.

At B&D Barbers, the “Ibiza Boss” cut costs £26, though Jack, described by Ali as a “very nice guy,” sometimes pays extra.

Ali shared his excitement about the viral sensation, saying: "It made me really happy when I saw the video going viral, but it was definitely a surprise.

"I’m so pleased about it all, and Jack is a great guy. It’s wonderful to see this boost for our business, and I think he’ll keep rocking the style."

Jack returned to the barbershop on Thursday after his transformative trip to Ibiza. The reunion was emotional, with the pair celebrating the newfound fame of the Ibiza Final Boss haircut.

Ali and Jack shared a warm embrace as the internet star walked back into the shop. The proud barber congratulated him, saying, "I saw what happened, congratulations!"

Jack responded by telling Ali it was "crazy," as he got ready for a fresh trim.

Jack went viral earlier this week after being filmed showing off his dance moveson the party island. Sporting a huge gold chain, sunglasses, Jack's unique haircut set him apart.

Friends back in Lemington, Newcastle upon Tyne described Jack as a 'wheeler-dealer' in cars, and said he walks around town confidently sporting his quirky haircut, gold chain, and bright 'Turkey teeth'.

"He thinks he's gorgeous," one told the Daily Mail. "He's not famous - he's a nobody. But now he's got a manager, so who knows what he’ll be like when he's back home."

His grandmother, Cynthia, said that she was a fan of Jack's haircut, saying: "I think it's alright, me. He is who he is. He's a happy-go-lucky lad. He's a nice guy."

On Wednesday night, Jack, who has become known as the Ibiza Final Boss, addressed his new-found fame on Instagram, describing himself as 'just a normal person from Newcastle'. He thanked fans for their support, saying: "It's a lot to take in at the moment. Stay locked in, got some big news coming."
