Elevate Your Style: The Rise of the Corporate Mullet

Understanding Your Style Needs

In the era of social media, clients are more informed than ever about available styles. However, a communication disconnect often exists between barbers or stylists and their clients. My approach is simple: I strive to understand who you are and what you do. This helps me design a look that is not only technically sound but also addresses any issues you’ve had with past haircuts.

Most of my clients aren’t just passing through; many work close to the airport and return for regular visits. They are often pleasantly surprised by the results we achieve together. An in-depth consultation, combined with a cut and style tailored to your lifestyle and hair type, makes all the difference.

The Simplicity of Style

For guys who aren’t looking for something too edgy, too street, or too avant-garde, hairstyle choices can be quite simple. But remember, simple doesn’t mean easy. Sometimes, a straightforward look comes from a series of complicated design choices. Most men prefer their hair short on the sides and longer on top. Yet, there are endless ways to tweak this style to create a more flattering or stylish look for you.

This is where having a designer’s eye is crucial. Knowing where to leave some hair and where to take it off can transform your appearance.

The Corporate Mullet Trend

In 2025, I noticed the rise of the "corporate mullet" or "soft mullet." This style features closely cut temples for that clean, fresh barbershop look, while the back is left longer, messier, textured, and flowy. This trend has been popularized by pop stars, athletes, and social media influencers. While I may not follow modern idols closely, I can’t help but notice how this style has gained traction in my studio.

Above are two variations of the soft or corporate mullet.

Crafting Your Signature Look

So, how do you find your signature look? It starts with understanding your personal style and what works best for you. Here are some tips to help you along the way:

1. Know Your Face Shape

Your face shape plays a significant role in determining what hairstyles will suit you. Whether you have a round, square, or oval face, certain styles will enhance your features better than others.

2. Consider Your Lifestyle

Your daily activities should influence your hairstyle choice. If you’re active or work in a casual environment, you might prefer a low-maintenance style. On the other hand, if you’re in a corporate setting, a polished look may be more appropriate.

3. Experiment with Texture

Texture can add depth and interest to your hairstyle. Whether you choose a sleek look or something more tousled, don’t be afraid to play around with different textures.

4. Consult with Your Stylist

Your stylist is your best ally in finding the right look. Don’t hesitate to ask for their input. They can provide valuable insights based on their experience and expertise.
