Jack Kay, 26, has become an internet sensation after a video of him dancing in a vest and sunglasses with the distinctive chinstrap beard and high skin fade haircut went viral“The perfect Final Boss is a high skin fade with the top slicked to the side. But it’s mainly the beard that makes it.”<\/p>\n

The “Ibiza Final Boss” trend is currently taking the UK by storm, all thanks to a video of Geordie Jack Kay dancing in Ibiza that went viral on social media. Donning a gold chain, sunglasses and a distinctive hairstyle, the footage has led to a surge in demand for the unique look at barbershops across the country.<\/p>\n

Barber Ben McCabe, 21, who works at Razortrim in Erdington, Birmingham, reveals that the 26 year old’s hairstyle has sparked a new trend. He told The Mirror that he’s been swamped with bookings for the ‘Final Boss’ cut, averaging two per day.<\/p>\n

“Everyone is asking for it!” he discloses, adding that the haircut costs \u00a328 at Razortrim. This follows reports that Jack Kay, the ‘Ibiza Final Boss’, could earn a six-figure sum from sponsorship deals.<\/p>\n

However, Ben confesses that when he first saw the infamous post, he thought it was nothing more than a humorous meme. “When I first saw it, I thought it hilarious – we were all sending it around. It looks like he’s stuck it on!”.<\/p>\n

“But then, on my very first day back at work, people were asking for it and showing me the video,” he adds, reports the Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He continues: “Everyone has their own style; some people might find it attractive, some not. A lot have taken inspiration from it. The accessories all help – the vest, the chain, the tattoos, the man bag, it’s a vibe. I wouldn’t get it myself – I’m vanilla, but people love it.

“It’s Ibiza season and this is the style – whether it wears off by winter who knows, or whether it will come back next summer. But it’s definitely hot now.”<\/p>\n

Apprentice barber Ollie Stokes, 17, was amongst those who adored the appearance and requested Ben give him the haircut in a clip that has garnered nearly a million views since being uploaded to TikTok.<\/p>\n

However, Ollie opted to style the cut somewhat more modestly.<\/p>\n

“After I got the cut, I put it on my Snapchat, and my friends were creasing up. But I think I’d save it for when I go to Ibiza.”<\/p>\n

Regarding the challenge of perfecting the Ibiza bob – arguably the most notorious since Jennifer Aniston’s Rachel style in Friends – Ben reveals it’s actually quite straightforward to achieve.<\/p>\n

“It’s pretty similar to just a normal skin fade. It’s longer on top. There’s a bit less of a blend. You got more of a Peaky Blinders style going on,” he explains.<\/p>\n

“The perfect Final Boss is a high skin fade with the top slicked to the side. But it’s mainly the beard that makes it.”<\/p>\n

And it’s not just any facial hair, he added: “It’s that chin strap that Jack has in his video. It makes the jawline look sharp.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jack Kay, 26, has become an internet sensation after a video of him dancing in a vest and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":330758,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7820],"tags":[952,855,748,393,4884,378,104,449,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-330757","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-birmingham","8":"tag-beauty","9":"tag-birmingham","10":"tag-britain","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-in-the-news","14":"tag-spain","15":"tag-tiktok","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114999302931764265","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/330757","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=330757"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/330757\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/330758"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=330757"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=330757"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=330757"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
