Like many had to, I began cutting my own hair in 2020 when the hair cut place closed its doors. At the time I was working in a chemistry lab and having long hair in front was a hazard, so initially I only cut the front for business purposes, as the back grew out into a party. Since I wasn’t going out as much then I thought I could have some fun with my hairstyle. At first the mullet chose me; as people noticed me more and respected the confidence that radiates from a true Mullet-American I went full send and dedicated myself to the style.

My mullet was born while I was living in Santa Cruz, which is known for its banana slugs. The golden mullet on my head is like a giant banana slug crawling from my back onto my scalp.
