“I just think with the end of the season, frustration maybe, like ‘you know what, I’m done. It’s time for a new look, change,’ and I think that’s pretty much what got his Sudden craving, “Bonds said. “It was probably a bit [frustration]Then there was, ‘Hey you know it’s time for a new look.’ ”
Bonds later added that frustration “possibly” played into the decision for Mahomes to cut his hair in such a different way, but can’t say with certainty.
Bonds also said that Mahomes went for a more “adult” and “mature” look with this new style.
It was not the first time Mahomes suggested the idea of a drastic change in hairstyle to bonds. The barber said that Mahomes earlier brought the idea of getting a shorter haircut as the quarterback prepared for the birth of her first child, daughter Sterling, who was born in February 2021.
But bonds spoke Mahomes out of it, which brought the fact that the quarterback had a remarkable success with Mohawk. At that time, Mahomes had already won a Super Bowl, a League MVP prize, and rose as one of the league’s biggest players.
“He had mentioned during the time he got into the paternity, he had to go ahead and change his hairstyle and didn’t want to wear a mohawk, but we were playing it cut off a few times, but we were both superstitious and decided it wasn’t time now, ”Bonds said.

“So after this season it was when we kind of said, ‘Well, let’s just get through the season, and then we’re talking about cutting it off.”
When Mahomes came to this decision, he initially told bonds he would “cut it off.”
“Many times when someone says, ‘Cut it off,’ they don’t really know. They just say something. Me, like an experienced hairdresser, I know ‘cut it off’ really don’t mean ‘cut it off,’ “Bonds said.
Had bonds listened to Mahomes without any pushback, the hairdresser would have continued to give Quarterback a cut so low that it would even have been considered a skin dish.
“It could have been very low but I know better than that. I know better than following someone’s directions when they ‘just cut it off’ unless I ask them several times and they say yes and they want it all The way off and I know he didn’t want it, ”Bonds said.
And Bonds believes that if he gave Mahomes the full “cut off” treatment, it would have had the reverse effect that Mahomes was looking for in trying to look older and more mature.

“I would advise him not to do it unless he would return to a 17-year-old Mahomes,” Bonds said, referring to Mahomes’ hairstyle in high school as it was essentially just a skin fading. “Even with the haircut he got right now, it made him look much younger, but if I did something like that for him, he would even look younger and I don’t think he will look younger.”
So instead, bonds continued with the haircut he had in mind for Mahomes. When it went, the televisions at Purple Lable Luxury Barbershop in Overland Park, Kansas, had NBA game on when talking about basketball.
Bonds remembered Mahomes, who once tweeted about the Luka Doncic trade during a haircut before the Super Bowl, while ESPN’s “Sports Center” played on TV, and then the show feature Mahomes’ Tweet, discussed just minutes later during the same clipping.
And then, after the haircut was over, and Mahomes’ new look was cemented, Quarterback smiled.
“He smiled basically and said,” yes, I like that, “Bonds said.
Bonds are now ready to travel to give Mahomes a follow -up cut on Thursday to maintain the look.
