From Paul Pogba's crazy cuts to David Luiz's frizzy locks and John Terry's short back and sides, meet the barber who cuts Premier League stars' hair

Ever wondered how Premier League stars keep their hair looking fresh?

Turning up for a match with the right trim is almost as important as the boots the stars wear, especially for the league's most expensive player, Paul Pogba.

The man behind the hairstyles is a self-taught barber whose high street location is next to a kebab shop.

Ahmed Alsanawi started his career cutting hair for players in Chelsea's youth team but can now lay claim to being responsible for the hair of an entire 11 of top Premier League stars.

They include the likes of John Terry, Eden Hazard and Pogba.

He works out of A Star Barbers in Chessington, Surrey, which is a small shop with a huge reputation. 

After getting his start with the Chelsea youth team, Alsanawi's talent with the trimmers meant news spread through the club via word of mouth.

The Chelsea fan has been cutting hair for the football world's rich and famous superstars for three years now. 

He spends his time at the Blues' Cobham training ground and also regularly visits Manchester to cut Pogba's hair.

With plenty of interest in having such high-class clientele on the go, the barber believes his success comes from brilliant haircuts and his own attitude towards the players. 

He told the Sun: 'I treat them all the same as anybody who walks through the door. None of them are stuck up, they're nice normal people.

Benjamin Mendy has only recently moved to England but knew which barber to go to

'I don't really get star struck - I'm thinking about the hair cut. After, if he's shared it because he likes it, I think "wow I've done that on Paul Pogba", that that's when I pat myself on the back.' 

Pogba has a reputation as one of the Premier League's more creative players, as demonstrated by his dress sense and his famous dancing celebrations.

While he tends to turn up with ideas for his own hair, Hazard is a player who turns to Alsanawi for advice. And the barber gets his own star guidance in return.

'I play in the same position as Eden and he's been giving me advice,' he added. 'I've been scoring loads in Sunday league, I might start playing on Saturdays.

'He's given me tips about football and I've given him tips about hair. He used to just have one level, now I've changed his whole look.'
