Shaking off those hair transplant rumors.
Travis Kelce’s barber emphatically shut down gossip that the NFL star recently got a hair transplant.
“Nah, not at all, man,” celebrity barber Vince Garcia told Us Weekly. “That’s a full head of hair right there.”
Garcia, who last had Kelce, 35, in his barber’s chair in early March, has long been working on Kelce’s hair for years.
“Ever since then we’ve grown a really great relationship,” Garcia shared.
“Throughout the years, he’ll come to my barbershop [or] he’ll come to my house and get cut. The majority of his commercials I’ve done with him.”
Garcia remains the Kansas City Chiefs star’s go-to guy who helps “get him ready” for his public appearances and TV shows.
“Over time, by consistently being around him, it’s similar to any relationship. The more you interact, the more personal growth you experience,” he shared.
“He’s a great dude, man. A great friend, as well,” he continued.
Kelce, who was once recognized for his fade haircut and full beard, began to let his hair and mustache grow longer last summer, sparking fan speculation that he had a hair transplant.
However, Kelce’s shift to longer hair is actually a change inspired by his pop star girlfriend Taylor Swift, as pointed out by his teammate Patrick Mahomes.
“I’ve been trying to get him to grow his hair out and all of a sudden Taylor gets him to do it,” Mahomes shared in August.
Garcia was also behind Kelce’s March 2024 “new chapter” fade that he received following his third Super Bowl win.
“Man, just a new chapter, I guess, man,” Kelce said at the time, explaining why he decided to cut his hair and beard. “Finished the old one. Had to get it off my face, clean it up, stop looking like a Neanderthal.”
