Travis Kelce’s influence extends beyond the football field, as barbers report a surge in clients requesting the tight end’s signature haircut.
While Kelce is renowned for his athletic prowess in the NFL, his off-field fame has skyrocketed due to his high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift and his distinctive fashion choices.
The buzzcut Kelce sports has gained popularity, with some now dubbing it the ‘Travis Kelce.’ Barbers in Kansas City note an increase in clients bringing pictures of Kelce’s haircut as inspiration. Mitch Wood of Venturemen in Kansas City suggests that people might associate the cut with Kelce’s connection to Swift and hope for a similar romantic outcome.
Even outside Kansas City, barbers anticipate a rise in requests for the ‘Travis Kelce’ as the Super Bowl approaches. Thomas Napolitano from Frank’s Chop Shop in New York City acknowledges the enduring popularity of the cut and speculates that Kelce’s third Super Bowl win could elevate his namesake haircut to national prominence.

In fact, local barbers have seen photos of the Kansas City Chiefs player’s haircut shown as “inspiration.”
“Even if people don’t want the buzz cut on top, they’ll show you a picture of his fade,” Mitch Wood, of the Kansas City barbershop Venturemen, told The Post, applauding Kelce’s “talented” barber, Patrick Regan.
As Kelce and the Chiefs aim for victory against the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl, his distinctive haircut continues to capture attention both on and off the field.
