Mullet Side Part

Mullet Side Part is a modern interpretation of the classic mullet, combining three seemingly mismatched worlds: preserved length at the nape, a precise taper fade at the temples, and the classic elegance of a side part. The course shows how to master these contrasts and build a hairstyle that is bold, technical, and fully wearable day-to-day-even on dense, hard-to-style hair.

Paweł Pollheimer guides you through the entire process, starting with the fundamental decision about shape-round horizontally and square vertically. Step by step, he shows how to mark out the horseshoe parting from the cowlick, establish the base length with a single stationary guide at the occipital area, and then build the entire form around this one decision. Work on the sides and back relies on redirecting sections into a triangle to intentionally preserve length at the nape, while the top is built into a disciplined, soft square.

In this course, you'll see

• Marking out the horseshoe parting from the cowlick and establishing the stationary guide at the occipital area as the foundation of the entire hairstyle
• The technique of redirecting sections into a triangle to blend the sides with the back without losing the length at the nape characteristic of a mullet
• Building the top into a soft square shape-vertical work with elevation to chest level and intentional softening of the corners
• Intentionally creating disconnection-how to leave a longer, heavier fringe that doesn't blend with the sides, giving the hairstyle character
• The full process of creating a taper fade at the temples: from blending with clippers using guard #4 all the way to blending with guards 3.5, 2.5, and lower
• Working with texturizing shears on dense hair to lighten the form without damaging its structure and shape
• Final styling into a side part using matte paste and a dryer with strong airflow to build volume in the fringe

After this course, you'll approach modern interpretations of the mullet with confidence, turning a trendy but often chaotic look into a precise, repeatable service in your salon. You'll learn to control the contrasts between length, layering, and classic styling, offering clients a hairstyle with character that is also technically flawless.
