We block out proper time so we can get every detail right. Our focus on the fade and the texture on top is what nails the look.
Stop Wasting Money On a Mullet That Misses The Mark
A mullet is easy to get wrong. These are the problems we fix most.
You asked for a modern cut and walked out with a full-blown ’80s throwback. It’s a completely different look, and one that should’ve stayed in the past.
It feels like two different haircuts got slapped on one head. There’s no flow from the top to the back, and the sides feel like an afterthought.
It looks sharp for a week, then the shape vanishes. You’re left fighting bulky sides and a back that won’t sit right.
We Build a Short Mullet That Actually Works
You can stop stressing about getting another bad cut. A good mullet is more than random long and short bits, it’s a technical style that needs a sharp eye. That’s our turf.
Our Short Mullet Service Is For You
This is for any bloke who’s fed up with the barbershop rush and wants a reliable spot for a proper modern mullet. If you’ve been hunting for a short mullet haircut for men that actually suits you, we’ll tailor the length, sides and back to you.
We’re the right fit if you’re:
For the bloke who wants a modern look that turns heads for the right reasons.
For the bloke who notices when the back and sides don’t connect.
For the bloke with curly or thick hair who wants a mullet that works with it.
For the bloke tired of leaving with an ’80s throwback he didn’t ask for.
We're All About Good Vibes and Great Haircuts
We take serious pride in our craft. It’s a laid-back spot where you can get comfortable, have a laugh and have a proper chat. Our team knows their way around Afro, Asian and curly hair too.
Build Your Perfect Short Mullet
We tailor the modern mullet to your head shape and style. These are the options we cut most.
The Fade Mullet
All about sharp contrast. We blend the sides tight, often with a burst fade around the ear, and keep the length through the back.
- Sides faded tight
- Burst fade around ears
- Length kept at back
- Crisp, modern contrast
The Taper Mullet
For an understated take, a taper gives a softer graduation on the sides. It’s a clean finish that’s easier to wear to work.
- Softer taper on sides
- Clean, subtle finish
- Work-friendly look
- Grows out gently
The Textured Crop Mullet
A shorter, textured top with a defined fringe, paired with the longer back. It creates a strong shape that works well with curly hair too.
- Short textured top
- Defined fringe
- Strong overall shape
- Great with natural curls
How We Build Your Perfect Mullet
No guesswork. Here’s how we take you from the chat to a mullet that looks right from every angle.

We Talk About The Cut
First up, we work out the exact mullet you're chasing. We check your hair type, map out the length at the back and lock in a plan with you.

We Build The Sides
We lay the foundation with a clean taper or fade on the sides. This sets a sharp base for the whole look.

We Create Flow and Texture
This is pure craft. We get in with the scissors to carve texture and connect the sides to the back for that signature shape.

We Show You How To Style It
We style your new cut and show you how to get the same look at home. You'll walk out knowing how to keep it looking fresh.

Your Short Mullet Questions, Answered
Here are the questions we hear most, and if yours isn’t here, give us a call on 0426 693 033.
How short is a short mullet?
A short mullet keeps the classic shape with less length for a modern edge. The back usually sits around the neck, while the top is shorter and textured. You get the style without looking like you stepped out of the ’80s.
How much does a short mullet cost?
Most short mullets have faded or tapered sides, so book our Fade, which starts from $60 and takes 40 to 45 minutes. If you want it all scissor work with no fade, book our Scissor Cut, from $60 for 50 minutes.
How often should I get my mullet trimmed?
To keep the fade clean and the shape on point, most blokes come back every 3 to 4 weeks. The back can go a little longer, but the sides show regrowth first.
Can you cut a mullet on curly or Afro hair?
For sure. Our crew are pros with all hair textures. With a curly mullet, we cut to bring out the natural shape and keep frizz under control.
What's the difference between a crop mullet and a fade mullet?
A crop mullet is about a short, textured top with a fringe, paired with the longer back. A fade mullet is about the sides, where the hair is blended down tight. Plenty of modern styles combine both.
Will a short mullet work for my job?
Usually, yes. A taper mullet with a tidy back is subtle enough for most workplaces. We’ll talk through how bold you want to go in the consult.
