About the course

Textured Taper Mullet is a modern, commercial interpretation of a classic cut, combining the softness and movement achieved with a texturizing knife with the precision of low front tapers. This course shows how to transform a classic shape into a hairstyle with strong texture, natural volume, and intentional disconnection that's easy for the client to style every day.

Kamil Cesarski guides you through the entire cutting process, starting with an analysis of the head shape and adapting the sectioning to the client's anatomy. Step by step, he shows how to build a square shape in the lower nape area for volume, then work in a circular pattern on the top, combining horizontal and vertical sections. A key element is the work with the texturizing knife - from controlling section tension to the working angle - to achieve the signature softness and pliability of the shape.

In this course you'll see

  • The texturizing knife technique step by step - how to control the angle and tension to achieve soft, pliable ends without losing control of the shape
  • Building a square shape in the lower nape area with a one-section redirection to create extra volume on the sides
  • Working on the square shape on top with all sections redirected to the back, creating intentional disconnection with the sides
  • The full process of creating low front tapers: from a 3mm guard, through an aggressive transition with a 1.5mm guard, to the finish with a trimmer
  • How analyzing natural hair wave and skull shape helps design a hairstyle that's easy for the client to style
  • Principles for working on the fringe and personalizing the cut with deep channel cutting for a perfect fit to the face
  • Correct body and hand position so the hair falls in the desired direction right away, minimizing the need for corrections

After this course, you'll start using the texturizing knife with intention - not just for texturizing, but for building the entire cut's form. You'll learn to control disconnection as a compositional element and create modern, textured mullets that combine tapering precision with organic, natural hair movement on top and at the back.
