Historically known for its short-in-the-front/party-in-the-back shape, Richard has modernized the Mullet with sharp, geometric angles. “The inspiration for this look emerged from a desire to craft a cool and edgy silhouette, accentuated by a square, strong, short fringe. It instills a subtle, futuristic essence; and my model actually served as a muse, guiding the creation of this unique style.” What’s more, Richard explains that the cut picks up on the trending celebrity looks showcased in recent seasons.

“This cut instills a subtle, futuristic essence,” says Richard.

This mullet is versatile:“Variations in texture and fringe length allow for a personalized approach that’s tailored to each client,” says Richard.

Keep the cutting simple:To achieve the look, use a clean and straightforward cutting technique. “This ensures ease of reshaping during subsequent visits, maintaining the style’s integrity,” he says. “The simplicity of this technique will assist stylists in creating diverse lengths within the overall shape, resulting in a seamless and wearable look.”

How to customize to hair type:“This look can be ideal for wavy or straight hair. For thicker hair, keep the layers slightly longer throughout the top to distribute weight proportionally.”
