Barbers across the UK are being asked to recreate the 'Ibiza Final Boss haircut' 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." 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. 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. "Everyone is asking for it!" he discloses, adding that the haircut costs £28 at Razortrim. This follows reports that Jack Kay, the 'Ibiza Final Boss', could earn a six-figure sum from sponsorship deals.

"When I first saw it, I thought it hilarious - we were all sending it around. It looks like he's stuck it on!". "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. 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.

But I think I'd save it for when I go to Ibiza."

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. "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." 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." Article continues below

Ibiza Final Boss takes private jet to party island with mates who 'all have same haircut'
From EasyJet to private jet in less than a week, Jack Kay, Newcastle's newest cult hero, is living the dream after being dubbed "Ibiza Final Boss" thanks to his unique haircut and dance skills When Jack Kay first touched down in Ibiza last week, he was just another Brit in a black vest looking for a good time. Now, he's a meme, and possibly the most famous man on the island. Dubbed the 'Ibiza Final Boss' by fans across TikTok and Twitter, 26-year-old Kay has become an overnight sensation thanks to a now-iconic video of him dancing in a club with the swagger of someone who owns the place. And now, it appears he's swapped budget airlines for boujee private jets. In his latest stunt, Jack posted a photo to Instagram posing with a group of mates in front of a private jet, captioned simply: 'Yes the boys.' Fans were quick to notice how all the lads donned the same bowl haircut that has made him viral.

The caption? 'Does anyone know this absolute legend coz we've got two free guestlist [spots] with his name on it!' It didn't take long for the internet to deliver. Fans identified Jack almost immediately, and what followed was a full-blown content explosion. TikToks, memes, fan edits, and brand reactions rolled in. Currys and Greggs jumped on the hype train, and even slid into his DMs. One fan wrote: 'The power of short-form content strikes again… This man went on holiday as Jack and left as Ibiza's final boss.' Another joked: 'Ibiza at 11, bullying King John to sign the Magna Carta at 12.' He currently has over 60,000 followers on Instagram thanks to the viral clip, and now it looks like he's ditched easyJet for private jets. 'He's gone from easyJet to private jets in less than a week,' one fan commented. Another added: 'Boss is single-handedly bringing the bowl cut back.' If that wasn't enough, Kay announced to the Ibiza Times: 'I am the Ibiza final boss. Jack Kay. Get to know.' His TikTok videos are still racking up views in the millions, and even Neon Management - the talent agency behind reality TV stars from Love Island and Gogglebox - have signed him, with a tour already in the works. In a recent Instagram Story, Jack admitted he's still processing it all: 'Appreciate all the love and messages off everyone. I will get back to everyone quick as I can. It's just a lot for me to take in at the moment. I am just a normal person from Newcastle, it's crazy. Stay locked in, got some big news coming.'

Dwayne ‘The Rock' Johnson reveals frustrating gut-health issue that took him years to fix
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson had a digestive issue that he couldn't kick — and no answers in sight. Johnson, one of WWE and Hollywood's biggest stars, opened up about his health journey during a recent conversation with the man who saw him through to the other side in Dr. Mark Hyman. The 53-year-old, after years of dealing with the gut issue, had a conversation with former agent and longtime business partner Ari Emanuel about it at the end of 2023. Advertisement 3 Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson speaks on his gut-health issues. The Mark Hyman Show/YouTube 'He's like, 'What's going on?' I said, 'I've seen doctors and I can't quite nail it. I can't quite fix it. It's in my digestion,' Johnson said during 'The Mark Hyman Show.' 'I feel great — and that's the odd thing — but I just can't crack it.'' Emanuel, the CEO of Endeavor and WWE's parent company, TKO, mentioned seeing Hyman, who practices functional medicine. Advertisement The two eventually connected for a virtual visit. Johnson admitted he knew nothing about functional medicine, which, according to the Institute for Functional Medicine, provides a framework to systematically identify and address the underlying processes and dysfunctions that are causing imbalance and disease in each individual. 'You said, very succinctly, 'I'm not going to treat your symptoms. I'm going to go deeper than that and treat the root cause of what's going on,'' Johnson said. 'And I said, 'I love that.'' Advertisement The treatment began in early 2024, with Johnson set to begin his 'Final Boss' run to WrestleMania 40 with WWE. Getting to what was holding Johnson back took some heavy digging, Hyman noted. They did blood panels and a stool test, among other things, to get to the source of the problem. Johnson was in for a grueling year with WWE commitments, the release of 'Red One' and 'Moana 2,' and filming for his upcoming movie 'The Smashing Machine.' 3 Dwayne Johnson attends the 'Moana 2' UK Premiere at Cineworld Leicester Square on November 24, 2024 in London, England. Getty Images 'That was at the beginning of 2024, and I was just getting ready to launch into what would become a nine-month workload for me — nonstop work,' Johnson said. 'And I was thinking, 'Holy s–t, how am I going to get through this with my gut issues? I'm not digesting properly.'' Advertisement Luckily, Hyman was able to provide Johnson some relief, finding the issue began after he took multiple rounds of antibiotics, which messed with the bacteria in his gut. He was missing Akkermansia, which coats the lining of the intestine and protects from inflammation and a leaky gut, Hyman said. 3 Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and John Cena fight during Night 2 at Lincoln Financial Field on April 7, 2024 in Philadelphia. Getty Images 'We basically rehabbed your gut. Gave you probiotics and plant compounds—pomegranate, green tea, cranberry — to help rebuild it,' Hyman said. 'And we made you this amazing gut health shake with 10-plus ingredients personalized for you.' Johnson hasn't wrestled in WWE since, but was the catalyst for John Cena's heel turn earlier this year.
