The barber of 'Ibiza's final boss' has lifted the lid on the secret behind the viral haircut.
Ibiza Final Boss, recently named as Jack Kay, has become a viral sensation for his appearances at the popular party destination - and for his distinctive bowl hairstyle.
The 26-year-old from Newcastle shot to social media fame for sporting the iconic trim, paired with a thick gold chain and huge rave-style sunglasses, while bopping about the lively nighttime scene on the Spanish island.
While Jack has kept pretty quiet about his new-found meme stardom, he did post a brief statement on his Instagram story, which read: "Appreciate all the love and messages from everyone.

"I will get back to everyone quick [as] I can. It is just a lot for me to take in at the moment. I am just a normal person from Newcastle.
"It is crazy, stay locked in, got some big news coming,"
Kay - whose girlfriend has also spoken out - recently jetted back to the UK to meet up with his trusty barber of 10 years on Thursday (August 7) for a fresh trim.
The cut, which has been compared to The Beatles' moptops, has been crafted by Ali Kurbani of B&D Barbers in Blaydon, Gateshead, who was eagerly awaiting the grand reunion with his longstanding client.

After sharing a hug, Ali said to him: "How are you? Are you alright?
"I saw what happened, congratulations."
Jack simply responded that it was 'crazy' before posing for a snap with his buddy in the salon.

The next day, he was seen boarding a private £5 million jet to rejoin the party among the celebs, stating: "Ibiza, I'm on me way."
Now explaining exactly what Jack asks for to achieve the look, and how much the trim costs, Ali has revealed all.
The barber 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. He has had this style for a little while."

The 39-year-old from Kurdistan continued: "To get this style, Jack asks for a medium skin fade and then a bit of length of the top.
"Then he keeps his fringe sharp at the front.
"The haircut costs around £26 ($34) but sometimes Jack pays us more.
"I think he is going to keep the style."

The barbershop has since been basking in the spotlight for the viral hairdo, as Ali added: "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."

The insight comes as Jack recently signed to a top talent agency to work alongside the rich and famous in the sunny Spanish island.
Agent Dave Read and his agency Neon Management are credited with catapulting the likes of Joey Essex to millionaire status, and according to brand and culture expert, Nick Ede, the 'Final Boss' can expect to earn a staggering six figures in the next year through nightclub appearances and possible brand deals, reports The Daily Mail.
"It's amazing how he has captured the zeitgeist - he's the most popular thing since the Jet2 holiday adverts, and he can maximise on this for quite a while," Nick said.

"He's a living caricature. People don't really look like that but he is exactly what you think people who go to Ibiza should look like and be like.
"It's actually crazy."
