Return of the Mullet

Yup. It’s back. The Mullet!

I remember a couple months ago when I got my first request for the cut… it was a teenager who came in and said that he wanted a different kind of cut.

He wanted the sides shaved close. He also wanted the top of the head cut short and the hair in the back to stay long.

Me: “So you want a mullet, then?”

Him: “No man! Not a mullet! Just shave the sides, cut the top short, and leave the back long…”

Me: “That’s a mullet.”

Him: “Really?”

Me: “Yup… still want it?”

Him: “Yeah… but that’s really a mullet?”

Shortly afterward, a local hockey team had made it to the playoffs, and as a show of unity and a rally point, they all decided to get mullets (one didn’t have enough hair for a mullet, so I carved “ATL” into his head).

Then a lady came in and asked for “The Wolf.” – essentially a wild shag 

How long it will stick around… who knows? But at the end of the day, more and more people are requesting this style, and they are asking for different versions.
