Frequently Asked Questions
Is the modern mullet appropriate for a corporate job?
It depends on your workplace culture. More progressive companies and creative industries embrace it, while traditional corporate environments may not. We can create subtle variations that lean more conservative if needed.
How is the modern mullet different from the 80s mullet?
Today's mullet features refined layering, smoother transitions, and intentional shaping. The sides are often faded or tapered rather than just grown out. It's controlled and deliberate—fashion-forward rather than accidental.

If starting from a short cut, expect 3-6 months depending on how long you want the back. We recommend coming in during the growing phase so we can shape it properly—a mullet needs guidance to look intentional.
