Ali, master-barber at B&D Barbers, immediately embraces the new-found star as he walks back into shop.
Ali cries: "How are you? Are you alright?" as he grabs Jack's hand.
The proud barber says: "I saw what happened, congratulations!"
Jack, who lives in nearby Lemington, responds by telling Ali it was "crazy," as he gets ready for a fresh cut.
Ali Kurbani's iconic cut has drawn awe from A-listers and sparked national ad campaigns - and now the artist has spilled the beans on how he crafts it.
He told the Sun that he was baffled to see his handiwork hitting the headlines.
Ali said: "I have been doing this job a while now and this is amazing.
"We have cut Jack's hair for around ten years and we didn't expect this."
Ali, from Kurdistan, said that Jack has kept the same cut for a while.
After wild speculation online about the style Jack requests - from Robin Hood to a mixing bowl-cut or "short back and Battle of Hastings" - Ali gave us the truth.

He said: "To get this style, Jack asks for a medium skin fade and then a bit of length of the top.
But the key to creating the crisp Lego-like shape is to "keep the fringe sharp at the front," he said.
B&D Barbers charges £26 for the Ibiza Boss special - but being a "very nice guy" Jack sometimes pays over the odds.
Ali's cut said: "It made me very happy when I saw the video had gone viral but it was a shock.

"I am very happy about it all and Jack is a very nice guy.
"It is great to see this happen for our business. I think he is going to keep the style."
Since being catapulted into the public eye, Jack has signed up to a top celeb talent agency alongside Joey Essex and Love Islanders as he grasps his moment in the sun.
And today he is heading back to Ibiza from Newcastle with a fresh trim for "big parties" - and celebs are queueing up to meet the lad.
Jack was catapulted into the public eye this week when a video of him grooving on the party island gained millions of views.
With a shiny helmet of hair, a chunky gold chain, huge rave shades and bright white teeth - Jack's look immediately caught attention.
Jack could been seen swaying around, lost in the music, with perfectly manicured hair and an iconic outfit.

Celebs Go Dating star reveals exactly what the show did and didn't pay for after her date with Christine McGuinness
A WOMAN who went on a date with Christine McGuinness on Celebs Go Dating has lifted the lid on show secrets. Stunning Leanne Grant was seen bonding with the mum-of-three during the first mixer of the series before being whisked off to Ibiza to get to know her better. 4 Christine McGuinness appeared on Celebs Go Dating to find love Credit: Instagram 4 A woman she dated has opened up about the show 4 The pair hit it off straight away She has now revealed she wasn't paid to do the show and shed light on exactly what she had to fork out for on the lavish trip, which ended with Chrstine quitting the show altogether. In a new TikTok video, she explained: 'I wasn't paid for the amount of episodes I was on the show. Expenses were paid for, so my flight to Ibiza was paid for, the mixer was also paid for, the long as you have your receipts, that was all covered. 'They covered lunch and dinner. If we was off-site from the hotel everything was catered for. It was amazing. 'Chef was amazing, the staff were amazing, really, really lovely people. And we had breakfast, lunch and dinner, just like a buffet really. 'So it was like going to Ibiza on an all-inclusive holiday that I didn't have to pay for. Obviously, as a single mum of three, I was gassed.' She continued: 'I did spend a lot of my own money though, not going to lie to you, like in-duty free, a bit of alcohol, Prosecco, a couple of bottles, just to have fun, especially in the night time as well.' Despite getting on well with Christine, her time on the show came to an abrupt end when the Loose Women star - who was married to comedian Paddy McGuinness, 51, until their split in 2022 - made the shock decision to leave during the latest episode. Speaking to the show's agents, she said: "Well, I've been thinking quite a lot whilst we've been in Ibiza and I think I need to date in more of a natural environment. "I think I just would love to meet somebody and date more privately. It's where I'm kind of feeling myself going back, when I want to go freely forward. "Right. And I've made the decision to leave the agency." 4 Christine broke down in tears on tonight's episode Emotional Christine McGuinness opens up about Paddy's 'mistakes' in split saying 'the trust was broken'

Love Is Blind UK star who was CUT from show revealed despite getting engaged in pods
A LOVE Is Blind UK star has revealed that they got engaged in the pods – though their connection wasn't seen on screen. The Netflix dating experiment returned last week with 15 new men and 15 new women entering the "pods" in a bid to find love with someone without ever seeing them. 5 Ross appeared on Love Is Blind UK but was barely seen on screen Credit: Instagram 5 It's not known who Ross's mystery fiancee is Credit: Cr. Courtesy of Netflix © 2025 Participants only get to meet their match once they get engaged – and from there it's a six week whirlwind to the finish line including romantic getaways, living together, and meeting loved ones. However, with so many connections there to be formed, not everyone gets to make it past the initial stages, even if they put a ring on it. Typically on a Love Is Blind season, up to five couples are followed past the initial stages. And one star – Ross Millington – has revealed he was one of the unlucky people who were halted from continuing the process. As TikTok blew up with analysing the first episode, one fan spoke about Ross's brief appearance on the show. While he was rarely seen in the pods, he was shown chatting with the lads in the men's lounge as he went through the process – speaking to Kai (who did make it through to the next stage) and Demola (who was snubbed by potential match Katisha in favour of Javen in the process). Ross, a 30-year-old barber shop owner at the time of the series being filmed, jumped in on one fans TikTok asking more about him. "That was me," he noted as she pointed him out. "I didn't make it to Greece unfortunately. Reveal went well though." Ross didn't elaborate further, but as he went through a "reveal" it is safe to assume he at least got engaged. A grab of the comment was later posted to Reddit, with fans dissecting who the lucky woman could be. Love Is Blind UK star storms off show and says 'get this mic off me' after branding co-star 'disrespectful' in fiery rant "Good thing he didnt make it to Greece, as they went to Cyprus," joked one. "I counted 2 guys and 2 gals during the "I'm engaged" scenes that had zero screen time," said another. "They are still around during those moments and I would assume they may have ended up as a couple but were not picked to go to Cyprus. "Makes you wonder if their connection was boring/lack of drama to not be picked over Javen and Katisha...." "I've never understood why they pick some and not the others and then don't edit it down more in post production if necessary," said a third. Love Is Blind UK continues Wednesday on Netflix. 5 Ross was largely seen in the boys' quarters speaking to the other suitors Credit: Cr.
