Once seen as a punchline, the mullet has officially made its comeback — and it's not going anywhere. At BVRBERBROS, we’ve seen a major uptick in clients requesting this iconic style, proving that what was once considered “retro” is now unapologetically on-trend.
So, what’s fueling the return of the mullet, and is it the right haircut for you? Let’s break it down.
The Mullet: A Quick History Lesson
The mullet was the go-to haircut of the '70s and '80s — worn by everyone from rockstars like David Bowie and Billy Ray Cyrus to hockey legends and blue-collar icons. Its defining feature? Short in the front, long in the back. Business in the front, party in the back.
Over time, the mullet became associated with rebellious energy, out-there personalities, and old-school cool. It dipped out of mainstream fashion in the late ‘90s and early 2000s, but fashion is cyclical — and now, it's back in a big way.
Why Mullets Are Trending Again in 2025
Today’s mullets aren’t carbon copies of their 1980s ancestors. They’ve evolved — cleaner, more tailored, and blended with modern cuts. Here's why more guys (and even women) are rocking them again:
1. Pop Culture Influence
Celebrities and influencers have resurrected the mullet. From Timothée Chalamet and Morgan Wallen to athletes and musicians, style icons are embracing this cut and making it mainstream again.
2. It’s a Statement
The mullet is bold. It says you don’t take yourself too seriously — but you care about style. It stands out in a sea of fades and pompadours. If you're looking to break the mold, the mullet is your ticket.
3. Versatility
Modern mullets are highly customizable. You can keep it short and subtle or go full throttle with volume and flow. Combine it with a skin fade, taper, or even a design for extra edge.
4. Works With Many Hair Types
Curly, straight, thick, or fine — the mullet can be adapted to most hair types. It works surprisingly well with textured or wavy hair and can bring out your natural flow while keeping things sharp around the edges.
Types of Modern Mullets
At BVRBERBROS, we’re not cutting your uncle’s mullet from ‘86. We’re offering fresh variations that blend classic structure with contemporary flavor.
🔥 The Tapered Mullet
A softer take, with a clean taper around the ears and neck, perfect for first-timers.
✂️ The Fade Mullet
Combine a mid or high skin fade with a long, textured back for a sharp contrast that turns heads.
🌀 The Curly Mullet
Embrace your curls and let them shine. Keep the sides neat and let the back breathe.
🧼 The Clean Mullet
A polished, slightly longer version of the crop fade — stylish, low-maintenance, and wearable in any setting.
