Patrick Regan has been the go-to barber for Travis Kelce and more athletes.
Regan, who was born and raised outside of Philadelphia, runs his own barber business called Patty Cuts. While he’s known in the sports world for his fierce fades and game day blowouts, he made headlines in December 2023 for sharing a photo of Kelce and Taylor Swift kissing at a holiday party after the Kansas City Chiefs lost to the Buffalo Bills.
“Thanks @taylorswift for the Pics of the Gameday Freshy for @killatrav 🙌🏼❤️,” he penned via Instagram. “I had an Amazing Time at Yesterdays Game 🏈.”

When Did Patrick Regan Start His Barber Business?

“People would be sitting there with the Nintendo 64 controller under the cape playing Mario Kart,” childhood friend Colin Barrett said to the Philadelphia Inquirer in June 2021.

During his third — and final — trip, Regan was scrolling through Instagram and noticed that former New York Jets player Darrelle Revis was training nearby.
