Ahmed Alsanawi, widely known as A Star, has carved a niche as the go-to barber for footballing elites, crafting iconic styles for players like Jack Grealish, Phil Foden, and Declan Rice. From his beginnings in Kingston upon Thames to becoming a celebrity hairstylist with nearly a million Instagram followers, Ahmed’s journey reflects hard work, creativity, and passion.

One of Ahmed’s standout clients, Jack Grealish, is renowned for his long locks paired with a hairband—a style that has become synonymous with the Manchester City star. Reflecting on his work, Ahmed said, “Jack has a brilliant head of hair, and I take pride in perfecting every detail of his cut.” Similarly, Phil Foden’s bold bleach-blonde look has also inspired fans, with Ahmed jokingly admitting even he was influenced to try the style.

A Star’s influence extends beyond the Premier League, having been flown to Qatar during the World Cup to ensure England’s squad looked sharp on and off the pitch. Ahmed has also left his mark on international stars like Eden Hazard and David Alaba, proving his versatility and adaptability in creating signature styles.

Ahmed’s success isn’t just about technical skill—it’s his ability to build rapport with his clients. He describes the barber chair as a sanctuary for men, saying, “What a spa is to a woman, the barber chair is to a man.” His down-to-earth personality and behind-the-scenes moments, often shared on Instagram, have endeared him to fans and players alike.

As Manchester City celebrates historic achievements, Ahmed hinted at potential bold new hairstyles for Grealish and Foden to mark their triumphs. 

Fans eagerly await what the talented barber will come up with next, as he continues to shape football’s style landscape, one iconic trim at a time.
