Mullets for Men and Women FAQ's

What is a mullet?

The mullet is a haircut dating back to the 1970’s with strong ties to the 1980’s where rockstars, footballers, celebrities, actors and others wore the mullet as both a fashion statement and somewhat an anti-establishment haircut. The mullet is unlike any other haircut. It’s characterised by shorter hair on the front and sides, with longer hair left at the back. Recently the mullet has begun to make a strong comeback and embraced by many clients of all ages and by men and women.

What does a mullet look like?

In short, (quite literally!) shorter on the front and sides, whilst longer at the back. It’s somewhat similar to the wolf haircut, however the mullet is much more distinctive and has ties going back over 50 years. While the traditional mullet is well known for its stark contrast between the front and back, modern variations of the mullet allow for a more subtle or daring take depending on your preferences. The big upside of the mullet is that it can in most cases be tailored to suit most face shapes, hair types and where appropriate personal styles.

Men and women will likely look for different types of mullets. For men looking for short hair may ops for a more rugged feel, while women can take and softer and more playful look. What’s more, the front of the hair can be styled very differently which in many cases can make for the biggest difference. Whether going for a fringe, textured bangs or styled, the back can be left to be natural, flowing, spiked or layered. If you want to make a bolder statement or want something to blend in seamlessly within a professional setting, you can!

If I want a mullet, what are my options?

The mullet is much more varied than it once was, particularly with a modern day twist! Here are some of the more popular options:

The Classic Mullet: This is the traditional version dating back to the 70’s. This is your stereotypical mullet that boasts the full contrast between the short front and long back. This mullet is ideal for anyone looking to fully embrace the retro 70’s/80’s vibe.

The Modern Mullet: This is the mullet that pays homage to the original. It’s much more subtle and introduces a healthy blend that is less noticeable. If you want something that’s softer, perhaps still boasting an edginess yet isn’t going to alienate anyone at work, this is your less extreme option.

The Shag Mullet: The shag is a messy style that is very rock chick! The shag mullet works particularly well with wave or curly hair. The introduction of layers add movement while the mullet gives it that extra benefit. It’s fun, playful and a chic look!

The Fashion Mullet: Similar to the modern mullet, the fashion modern is similarly a modern twice on that 70’s vibe. This version however differs only by shaper and more asymmetrical lines. Ideal if you want to push the envelope.

What's the maintenance like on a mullet?

It’s not as bad as you might think. Shorter styles will always lose their shape sooner than longer styles. Many men opt for short/shaven sides which if that is the case they can lose their shape around the six week mark. However if you are happy with the longer back then a good rapport with your Stylist might support you being able to request a regular trim on the sides rather than a full haircut thus saving you money!

For longer styles, anything from 8-12 weeks is the expected frequency of appointment.

Is there anything else you need to consider about a mullet?

Hair Texture: The mullet can work on a variety of hair textures, but knowing how your hair behaves will help you and your stylist decide which version is right for you, how to maximise your mullet and how to cut it in such a way that it doesn’t immediately lose its shape. For example, if you have straight hair, you might need to add some texture with layers to avoid your mullet looking too flat. This is compared to curly or wavy hair, which already has enough movement and is cut differently to embrace the mullet.

Face Shape: Your face shape plays a big role in how a mullet will look. Generally, mullets tend to suit those with oval, heart, or square face shapes, however if your Stylist has years of experience working with different kinds of mullets, face shapes and hair types, they can usually find a middle ground to suit.

Conclusion

If you’re a man or a woman looking for a mullet, you’re in safe hands and there’s a great option out there for you. The consultation in-salon will be the most insightful and valuable time you will spend in the salon.

The mullet can be bold, edgy, modern, funky or just about anything in-between! With the support of your Stylist they will be able to deliver something that meets your expectations and matches your own persona style and lifestyle.
