Ibiza Final Boss Jack Kay reunites with barber behind unique haircut after going viral
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 moves on 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."

B&M shoppers spot rare flavour of Snickers they've ‘never seen' before selling for £1
It comes as other unusual Snickers flavours have been spotted at the discount retailer RARE TREAT B&M shoppers spot rare flavour of Snickers they've 'never seen' before selling for £1 B&M shoppers have spotted a rare flavour of Snickers selling for £1. Customers were surprised to see coffee flavoured versions of the classic chocolate stocked on the shelves of the bargain store. 3 Coffee flavoured Snickers bars Credit: Facebook 3 The bars were spotted at B&M for £1 Credit: Instagram/@newsfoodsuk Posting on the Facebook group Food Finds UK Official, a user wrote: "Not sure if these are new, but in B&M and I've never seen this flavour!" One user wrote: "I've been meaning to check out B&M for ages now and this might just be the push I need to go." Another added: "Imported from Australia, I had them over there and so so good I'll need to head to B&M." "I will be trying these," a third wrote. The bar sells for up to £2.99 at online retailers like Bombon and Candy Mail UK - nearly triple its price at B&M. The unusual chocolate bar appears to be a rare find, currently unavailable in other major UK supermarkets. The company Mars Incorporated launched Coffee Snickers back in February, with fans describing it as a bittersweet twist on their classic peanut, caramel and chocolate combo. The controversial new flavour comes after two years of development and 13 different product prototypes. Shoppers learned of the release through NewfoodsUK on Instagram. The bar divided opinions with one user calling it a "win-win" and another saying it was "disgusting". YoCrunch Yogurt Recall: Sharp Plastic in Candy Toppers Prompts Nationwide Warning Mars Wrigley Research & Development director Chris Hutton said: 'We know how much Aussies love their coffee, and after two years of development and 13 different product prototypes, we're excited to bring this new twist on Snickers to life. 'Snickers Coffee Flavour is a proudly Australian-made product, formulated by our local team in Ballarat to deliver on both taste and sustainability, and we can't wait for fans to try it.' It comes after B&M shoppers spotted almond flavoured Snickers at the bargain store. The bar, containing almond pieces alongside peanuts, nougat, caramel and milk chocolate, was launched in the US six years ago. But it is not typically sold in the UK, making it an unusual find. Shoppers at B&M also previously spotted a brownie Snickers, which was another hit in the US. The Snickers bar was introduced by Mars, Inc. in 1930 and was named after the Mars family's favourite horse, Snickers. For decades, the bar was sold in the UK and Ireland under the name "Marathon" before being changed to Snickers in 1990. How to save money on chocolate We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar. Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs... Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars. Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere. Websites like let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal. Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced. They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged. Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar. So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.

Eamonn Holmes's heartfelt tribute amid 'battle' with ex-wife Ruth Langsford over pet dog
TV presenter Eamonn Holmes has taken to Instagram to share a tribute to his Border Collie with two photos '17 years apart' following his separation from Ruth Langsford TV presenter Eamonn Holmes has shared an emotional tribute to his beloved Border Collie dog Maggie after a reported custody battle with his ex-wife Ruth Langsford, following their divorce. After more than a decade of marriage and nearly 30 years together, TV couple Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford officially went their separate ways in May 2024. At the heart of their split was their dog who the couple adopted in 2011. Eamonn, 65, shared two pictures of himself with the beloved pooch along with the caption: '17 years apart …… and we are both still going - JUST'. Ex-wife Ruth, who is a regular panellist on Loose Women, also regularly shares photos with their dog Maggie, and it is unknown what their official arrangement is. It comes after Princess Andre says she's 'independent' from parents as she breaks silence after Katie Price row. A source previously opened up about their dog and said it was like a child to them. A source told The Sun: 'Maggie is like a daughter to them. They dote on her. But she's getting on and they know she needs stability. It's a case of who can give [Maggie stability]. Eamonn adores her and Maggie's been such a support during his health woes. The thought of giving her up is heartbreaking to him.' They added: 'But if Ruth is able to get out and about and walk her more, then it may well be that she gets Maggie in the split.' Many of Eamonn's fans comment on his recent post, asking about the arrangement with Maggie, as well as commenting on how cute the pooch is. One person asked: 'Does Ruth let you see Maggie?', while another said: 'Wish you could you be together'. A third commented: 'She's a beauty.', while another said: 'www gorgeous pair'. Eamonn's Instagram post comes after he made a dig at his ex-wife, Ruth, after reportedly claiming that his girlfriend, Katie Alexander, 43, is his "soulmate". Eamonn and Katie look very loved-up in recent snaps, having attended GB News star Nana Akua's engagement party earlier this month. According to Bella magazine, dad-of-four, Eamonn, gushed that Katie was his "soulmate" at the glamorous bash in London while also reportedly quipping: "In sickness you find out who is there for you." Commenting on the apparent dig, a source said: "It was an insensitive comment from Eamonn, but he's smitten with Katie and does feel like she has been there for him through the hard times. That said, it is a kick in the teeth for Ruth because she has been there for him since the beginning."

It comes after Myleene, 47, claimed she saw Graham and an unnamed celebrity 'unzipping' each other at her birthday party. Last week, we told how Myleene was locked in a feud with Rochelle and Saturdays' bandmate Frankie Bridge, who were both clients of Graham. Rochelle and her JLS pop star husband Marvin were also pictured with Graham in Ibiza. A source last night told The Sun: 'Rochelle was doing what she saw as looking out for a friend in a time of need. 'Rochelle and Marvin are still clearly very much friends with Graham. "Myleene is of the view that Rochelle took sides from the beginning of her marriage breakdown. "The fact Rochelle and Graham's friendship is still there after all these years has put an everlasting rift between Myleene and Rochelle. 'They both do everything in their power to avoid each other.' Rochelle and Frankie, 36, previously enjoyed a close friendship with Classic FM host Myleene. Watch the awkward moment feuding stars Myleene Klass and Frankie Bridge come face to face on live TV In 2012, Myleene and Frankie, both hosts on Loose Women, attended Rochelle's hen do. But they have not appeared together on the ITV show since an awkward episode last year. The alleged unzipping incident is said to have happened before Myleene and Graham married. The couple — who share daughters Ava, 17, and 13-year-old Hero — wed in 2011 and divorced two years later, with Myleene citing 'unreasonable behaviour'. The Sun on Sunday reported yesterday that Graham said he had been stopped from seeing his children since 2014 and had suffered from depression. Representatives for Rochelle and Myleene did not reply to a request for comment yesterday.
