On Monday, May 4^th, 2026, Celebrity Barber Chaz Hazlitt (@ceehazthebarber) prepared acclaimed actor, writer, director, and producer, Colman Domingo to get ready the prestigious 2026 MET Gala using award-winning men’s grooming brand BEVEL. Chaz used the BEVEL Gold Beard Trimmer, BEVEL 3-in-1 Hair Oil and BEVEL 2-in-1 Pomade to achieve a Jean-Michel Basquiat-inspired look he described as the ‘Textured Crown’.

“This 2026 Met Gala marked a special collaboration with Colman Domingo and me, a moment where we pushed the boundaries of classic grooming into something more expressive,” shared Barber Chaz Hazlitt. “Together, we created an unhinged yet fashion-forward silhouette we call the ‘Textured Crown’. Drawing inspiration from Jean-Michel Basquiat, particularly the raw energy of his iconic dinosaur motifs, Colman’s hair and beard embrace imperfection, movement and individuality. It’s elevated but not overworked. It’s crisp, clean and intentional. Using the BEVEL Gold Trimmer, I carved a sharp, defined edge to ground the look. I then applied the BEVEL 2-in-1 Pomade, working it evenly through the hair and shaping with my hands and sponge to build natural texture and dimension. The finish remains raw and expressive slightly unrefined by design. To complete the look, I used the BEVEL 3-in-1 Hair Oil, applying a touch to the ends and a light glaze throughout to lock in moisture and deliver a subtle, polished sheen.”

The BEVEL Gold Beard Trimmer ($149.95) provides fresher and sharper lines while repelling dirt, oil and buildups that cause irritation to the skin. The trimmer is created with a soft-grip and custom-faceted body to give you superior control and 360°non-slip handling

The BEVEL 3-in-1 Hair Oil ($11.92; 3.4oz) is a nourishing formulation of tea tree, jojoba and jamaican black castor oil. The hair oil helps lock in moisture and protect curls, twists and locs from seasonal dryness and breakage.

The BEVEL 2-in-1 Pomade ($11.92; 3.4 oz) is a lightweight, butter-based pomade infused with coconut oil, sweet almond oil, and shea butter to help nourish all hair types and textures from within, leaving a lasting hold and shine, without the sticky finish.
