I’ve sported every hairstyle under the sun throughout my lifetime: spiked punk, combover, undercut, slick back, even completely bald (for charity). But, I never had the opportunity to grow my hair out when I was younger because the private high school I attended required “professional” hair cut (no hair touching the collar or ears). When I played college baseball, my coach wanted his players to be clean shaven and have crew cuts…

Then Covid hit. I graduated from college, still sporting a fade, but I couldn’t get my hair cut. Over the course of a year I experimented with longer hairstyles until I heard someone tell me, “has anyone ever said you look like Patrick Swayze?”

Ever since that day, I realized that the mullet is not just a haircut, it’s a lifestyle, and I have some big shoes to fill if I am being compared to one of the best to ever do it.
