Lionel Messi is one of the greatest ever to step foot on a soccer pitch. He is one of the most iconic sportspersons in the world. However, he is not much of a fashionista or anything. We have seen him mostly plain and simple off the pitch. Leo has neither rocked a hairstyle, which has set examples or can be called as iconic. However, fans are going insane after finding out how much the Argentine pays his barber.
Very handful amounts of time Messi’s hairstyle could have been recognized distinctively. Otherwise, he has barely done major changes to his hair or beard styling. The Argentinean had long hair, till his shoulders, when he broke into the scenes in Barcelona. Messi immortalized his jersey number 30, with long hair in his early Barca days. Also, his platinum-dyed hair full grown beard and mustache around the 2018 World Cup are still one of his best.
Recently, a Twitter post has shown his latest trim. It says, “His barber needs to be arrested,” in the caption. This picture of Messi in a PSG training top gives us a throwback to his Barcelona days. Leo came out with this identical trim in August 2014 and a lot of fans used to call it the Kim Jong-il haircut. And fans are certainly not happy to see it back.

Fans were laughing their socks off at seeing that throwback haircut of the Argentine. A lot of people pondered about his haircut from 2015. Some even suggested that his barber should be arrested in funny ways.
Why does Lionel Messi pay so much to his barber?
Lionel Messi is one of the richest soccer players to have existed. The Argentinean has spent most of his time in Barcelona and has always been among the top two best-paid players alongside Cristiano Ronaldo. So, it’s not news that he can spend his money on self-grooming and other things.
Messi has his personal barber cum stylist. Reportedly the 36-year-old pays him a hefty $192,000 salary a year. Which makes it a $16,000 salary a month. His barber’s name is Dani, and there are reasons, why he gets paid so much. Apparently, Dani travels with the Argentinean wherever he goes and gives him a trim before matches and press conferences.

That is not it though, Dani also takes care of Leo’s everyday hair care and beard routine. Aside from matches and interviews, Dani has the responsibility to take care of his high-profile client on a day-to-day basis. And we can assume that Dani is very good at his work, that’s why he receives such a mouthwatering salary.
