The Modern Mullet Guide
The modern mullet keeps the idea of shorter sides and more length through the back, but today's versions are usually more blended, textured, and personalized than the classic cut.
What makes a mullet modern
Modern mullets can be subtle or dramatic. Some keep a soft taper around the temples, while others use a burst fade or stronger contrast. The top may be cropped, textured, curly, or longer.
Who can wear it
The haircut can work across straight, wavy, and curly textures. The key is controlling the balance between the front, sides, crown, and back so the silhouette feels intentional.
Maintenance
The edges and side detail may need regular cleanup, while the length in the back can grow for longer between major reshaping appointments.
At Cabello Brooklyn, modern mullets are treated as custom shape work rather than one fixed template, allowing the cut to match the client's texture and personal style.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a modern mullet be subtle?
Yes. A modern mullet can keep only a modest amount of length through the back with softer sides, or it can use stronger contrast for a more directional look.
Does a modern mullet work with curly hair?
Yes. Curls can add strong texture and shape through the crown and back, as long as the cut accounts for shrinkage and volume.
