Jackson Olson probably thought he made it when he was selected to play for the Savannah Bananas. But that was just the start. Because of his fame, he got to first base with Pat Sajak’s daughter, Maggie. And because he is dating her, he caught the attention of Dancing with the Stars and will be competing this Fall.
And now, he got something on his own that is his own. What is it? Supercuts is offering The Jax, which is his signature hairstyle. The hairdo is described as, “The Jax is a modern textured crop with a forward flow and frosted tips, an early-2000s throwback riding the current wave of nostalgia in fashion and pop culture.”
“I’m excited to partner with Supercuts to introduce ‘The Jax’ signature haircut. I’ve always believed a great haircut should be reliable and accessible, and that’s exactly what Supercuts delivers. Being on the go between all of the travel, training, practices, and balancing games and show days with the Savannah Bananas and Dancing with the Stars, it’s important to have a place that gets my haircut right everywhere I am. If you want your kids to walk in on the first day looking sharp and feeling their best, Supercuts is the place to go,” said Olson.
How many celebrities can say that their haircuts were being offered at salons? There was Jennifer Aniston’s The Rachel, Victoria Beckham’s The Posh Bob, Farrah Fawcett’s The Feathered Waves, Veronica Lake’s The Peek-a-Boo, and now The Jax. If that doesn’t say you made it, I don’t know what does.
The Jax is available starting today. However, call your Supercuts before you go in to make sure that they are offering it.

Savannah Bananas were everywhere last year. Well, almost everywhere. They did not collaborate with any restaurants. That was last year. This year, they added Dairy Queen to their team!
The shake giant is coming to the plate on February 23rd with the Savannah Bananas Split Shake. The shake features DQ’s world-famous soft serve, blended with real milk, fresh banana, strawberries, and chocolatey shavings, all crowned with whipped topping.
“The Savannah Bananas are all about having fun, and creating unforgettable moments for our fans is at the heart of everything we do,” said Jared Orton, President at Savannah Bananas. “This season, we’re excited to elevate those experiences through our partnership with DQ. We share a mission of spreading joy to our fans and that’s exactly what we plan to do as partners.”
DQ will also be spreading the joy at Bananas’ baseball games with pre-game rallies and handing out treats and special offers.
The Savannah Bananas have been everywhere, but there was one place they have not been. Where is that place? It is late night television.
However, that all changed yesterday when they appeared on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. And boy did the baseball team hit it out of the park.
Everyone was highlighted, and by the end of it all, Fallon became an honorary member.
If ever there was a day that we needed them, yesterday was it! We need more positivity in the world, and they are it!
