I would say that’s the work of the professional to be honest. How can someone make sure their barber understands which type they want? Meaning Joe Dirt vs modern. If anything I would say it’s the ideal pre-winter haircut! Mullets have been called ‘neck warmers’ in the past.

Is it the ideal after-winter haircut, when you have a little extra shag to work with? With each cut, you can leave the back longer, allowing it to grow for a more dramatic effect If your hair isn’t particularly long but you want something extreme, it’s something you can work towards with your stylist. What are the prerequisites? Long hair? Short hair? In-between?Īll you need is enough hair to leave a longer length in the back than what you have on the rest of your head. If you’re asking for a mullet, then you probably have some level of awareness of what you’re in for! Sometimes, if I get a client who is open to suggestions and says ‘what would you do?’, I like to suggest it if I think it would fit their lifestyle, and if I’m lucky, they say yes! I’d say it varies depending on the stylist. Go for it! It’s only hair.ĭo you have a lot of clients getting mullets?Ĭurrently I have about 15 regular mullet customers. But if you work in a profession where you are allowed to express yourself freely, sure. What even is “appropriate" nowadays? If you have a more corporate/button down job, probably not. The main defining factor is the length left in the back, typically disconnected from the rest of the haircut. A more modern take would be a skin-faded mullet, or something much softer and face framing. It reached its peak in the 1980’s from Joan Jett to Miami Vice. It can be super extreme or really subtle. There are so many varieties on how a mullet can be cut and worn.

I also love that it breaks a lot of conventional haircut rules. It shows that they don’t care what others think of them and often someone is just having fun with their hair. That it provokes such a reaction in people! The mullet is often the butt of a lot of jokes, so it takes a lot of confidence for someone to rock it.

But it’s all relative and it’s still a haircut that sits on the fringes (pardon the pun) of everyday society. It is undoubtedly getting more popular and I’m certainly getting a lot more requests for them.
