There’s only one thing Joanna Gaines wanted for her 46th birthday on April 19, 2025: for her husband to get a haircut. Fans were thrilled to see Chip Gaines, who still appears with Joanna on HGTV in the couple’s “Fixer Upper” spinoffs in addition to shows on their Magnolia network, get several inches of his sandy blond hair chopped off.
Chip & Joanna Gaines’ Son Crew Helped Film His Dad’s Epic Haircut
Chip put together a fun Instagram video, with some segments filmed by the couple’s six-year-old son Crew, that chronicled the before-and-after of his birthday makeover.
Riding a tractor on their farm in Waco, Texas, Chip explained the situation as his long bangs flopped in front of his eyes.
“All Joanna wanted for her birthday was for me to get a haircut,” he shouted over the tractor’s engine and then joked, “But I feel like my hair is just finally starting to look awesome!”
The video then switched to footage shot by Crew, who filmed his dad sitting down in his stylist’s chair and asking Crew what they were doing.
“Uh, we are getting a haircut,” Crew said, “because that’s what mom only wanted for her birthday.”
Chip then wished good luck to his hairdresser Jesse at Waco’s Asylum Salon, gave the camera a thumbs up, and said, “Love you, Mom! Happy birthday!” As the haircut went on, Crew zoomed in on his dad’s hair as it piled up on the salon floor.
Switching the view again to Chip back on his tractor but with a new ‘do, he smiled and said, “And after! Alright! I do feel pretty good. I feel pretty light. Happy birthday Jo!”
Joanna Gaines Loves Her Hubby’s New ‘Do & So Do Fans
In the comments of Chip’s video, Joanna wrote, “You look good @chipgaines! 😍 Crew did awesome capturing the moment 🤣👟✂️ Great job Jesse! @asylumsalon”
Fans loved Chip’s new look, too, flooding the comment section with praise, including one who wrote, “Fantastic new look! 10 years younger. 🤩”
Someone else commented, “I like short hair Chip!!” and another fan wrote, “Happy Birthday Jo…and Chip it looks amazing👏”
One man commented, “If my wife sees this @chipgaines, I’m in trouble for her b-day!”
It’s likely Chip’s haircut isn’t the only thing he got Joanna for her birthday, given his penchant for showering her with love and gifts on special occasions.
On Valentine’s Day 2025, she shared on Instagram that ever since the first one they spent together in 2001, “his goal is always to ‘one up’ the year before. Even though I tell him a tiny bouquet is enough, he won’t listen, and every year I am reminded again that this man is extravagant and he loves to fill our home with more roses than I can count.”
Meanwhile, in November, Joanna threw an epic birthday party for Chip to celebrate his 50th, including asking Abner Ramirez of the band Johnnyswim to write a song for Chip. She wrote on Instagram that the “lyrical/musical genius whipped it up in like a day and put it on a vinyl for us so we can listen to it every morning when Chip wakes up 😂”
