Jeffrey Dugas, who cuts hair at Obsidian Barbers in New Brunswick, Canada, has received a very specific request from clients in the past few weeks: They want the same style as Travis Kelce.
“They usually come in with a picture of him,” Mr. Dugas said. “I’m like, ‘Yeah, I know who that is.’”
It’s not the first time Dr. Dugas has been asked to replicate the hairstyles of celebrities. “When Bryce Hall was popular on TikTok and had that long, curly fringe in the front, all the kids were getting it,” he said, referring to the social media personality with almost 25 million followers on TikTok.
Mr. Kelce’s hairstyle, a buzz cut fade, is easy to replicate. “It’s basically zero on the side until you get to the top,” he said. “It’s a fun, easy haircut that I can do in a quick 20 minutes.”
But the sheer number of customers asking for it astounds him. Last week he said he had “at least 50 people come in for that haircut,” he said. “That’s a crazy, crazy amount.” He attributes the demand to not only the fact that Mr. Kelce is dating Taylor Swift, but also because his brother, Jason Kelce, had a viral, shirtless moment at the Chiefs vs. Bills game.
