About the course

Modern Rugby Mullet is a precise men's haircut built on circle geometry, where every element - from the heavy, fuller fringe, through the high tapers, to the extended back - is an intentional decision. The course shows how to turn fluffy, hard-to-style hair into a haircut with character that highlights the natural head shape and is easy to style every day.

Kamil Cesarski walks you through the entire process, starting with dividing the head into key zones, including a box section on top that lets you control the side planes. You'll see how to work in a circle shape both horizontally and vertically, using the non-redirected sub-section technique to gain full control over length and the natural fall of the hair. The course covers the construction of the heavy fringe and blending the sections at the back of the head in detail, so the mullet keeps its volume and proper shape.

In this course, you'll see

  • The full circle-shaped cutting process, both horizontally and vertically - how to control shape and length across the whole head
  • Building a high taper using the step-down method - from guard #2, through open and closed blade, all the way to trimmer and razor work
  • Head sectioning with a box section on top as a tool for controlling the side planes and maintaining the haircut's proportions
  • The channel texturizing technique to tame fluffy hair without losing volume, giving it a more compact structure
  • Working on a heavy, fuller fringe, point cut in its natural fall, to give it volume and character
  • Precise blending of the sides with the top and back using the scissor-over-comb technique, to keep the geometric form consistent
  • Controlling length and volume at the back of the head by dividing it into upper and lower occipital sections and working with disconnection

After this course, you'll start using circle geometry with intention as an alternative to square shapes, giving you better control over fluffy, hard-to-style hair. You'll learn to build high tapers using the step-down method and create haircuts that are both technically advanced and organically suited to the client, highlighting their natural head shape.

  1. Modern Rugby Mullet - The circle-shaped cutting concept1:44

    01The circle-shaped cutting concept

    We'll actually be moving in a circle shape throughout the whole construction of the haircut.

  2. Modern Rugby Mullet - Body positioning when cutting the back12:43

    02Body positioning when cutting the back

    I'm also shifting slightly with the shape, so I'm moving in a circle towards the back.

  3. Modern Rugby Mullet - Point cutting the fringe at an angle24:15

    03Point cutting the fringe at an angle

    For point cutting, I hold the scissors at a forty-five degree angle.

  4. Modern Rugby Mullet - Transitioning from a square into a triangle33:00

    04Transitioning from a square into a triangle

    Then we'll redirect everything to this point. So we'll be cutting a triangle.

  5. Modern Rugby Mullet - Strong wrist work on the taper42:53

    05Strong wrist work on the taper

    As you can see, right at the point where the lengths connect, there's strong wrist work.

  6. Modern Rugby Mullet - Why to avoid point cutting on the taper48:10

    06Why to avoid point cutting on the taper

    I would absolutely not use point cutting here, because it would create a 'Photoshop' effect.

  7. Modern Rugby Mullet - Choosing the tool for texturizing the back59:10

    07Choosing the tool for texturizing the back

    I don't work with the Razor technique, so the hair doesn't get even more fluffy.

  8. Modern Rugby Mullet - Using clay before drying1:08:17

    08Using clay before drying

    Always use clay in a minimal amount. It'll give us even more control when working with the dryer.
