Wavy Mullet

The Wavy Mullet cutting course teaches you how to create a modern, texture-rich hairstyle with disconnection. Master scissor and razor work to achieve a bold yet practical look for your client.

About the course

Wavy Mullet is a modern women's haircut combining the aesthetic of a wolf cut with the classic disproportion of a mullet: short front and sides with an elongated back. The course shows how to build a hairstyle full of texture and movement-bold and expressive, yet mindful of practical client needs, such as being able to tie back the longer sections.

Tymoteusz Pięta guides you through the entire process of creating the hairstyle, from consultation and disconnected sectioning through to the final styling. Step by step, he shows how to work with scissors on the sides to build the shape, then how to use a razor to layer the top and create soft, textured transitions. A key element is intentionally building volume at the nape, which overlaps the longer, preserved back section.

In this course, you'll see

  • Razor work - how and when to use it to create softness and texture that can't be achieved with scissors alone
  • Intentional disconnection - how to separate the crown and fringe section so the top of the hairstyle remains an independent, shorter element
  • Building volume at the nape - cutting a shorter section of hair at a 90-degree elevation, which creates support and smoothly overlaps the longer back
  • Cutting the sides in diagonal sections, combed forward, to preserve elongation toward the back of the head
  • A fringe-cutting technique from the center outward, combing section to section for a soft arc
  • Final styling for "broken waves" - how to use a flat iron to create tousled texture with straight ends, and set it with mousse

After this course, you'll start working with intention when using disconnection and different tools to build complex, textured shapes. You'll learn to create hairstyles that respond to the latest trends, letting you step outside the box and offer bold clients individual, characterful cuts.

    I don't necessarily like hairspray for situations like this, because the hair doesn't work the way it can.

FAQ

What tools are needed for this haircut?
To create the Wavy Mullet, Tymoteusz Pięta uses scissors and a razor. A flat iron is used for the final styling shown in the course.
Will this technique work on straight hair?
The course focuses on hair that responds well to waving. The technique of heavy razor layering and building up layers works best on hair that has a natural tendency toward movement and texture.
Will the client be able to tie their hair back after this cut?
Yes, the cut is designed with practicality in mind. The longer sections at the back stay long enough for the client to tie them up, which is discussed at the start of the course.
Do I have to use a razor, or can I do this with scissors alone?
The educator explains that a similar soft effect can be achieved with scissors. However, the razor allows you to achieve a unique texture and is an alternative tool worth learning. The course shows in detail how and when to use it.
What does disconnection mean in this hairstyle?
Disconnection involves separating the crown and fringe section from the rest of the hair. These top sections are cut as a shorter, independent element that softly overlaps the longer sides and back, creating volume and movement.
Is this haircut suitable for every client?
This is a bold hairstyle that requires the client to be open to heavy layering and a striking shape. As the educator points out, it's a suggestion for people who "know what they want out of life" and enjoy experimenting.
