Baby Mullets – Short Hair with an Edge

The baby mullet is making a big comeback, with a softer, more wearable twist. This shorter version of the classic mullet offers texture, movement, and an edgy finish without being too extreme. It’s the ideal style for clients who want something fashionable yet low-maintenance.

Long Layers for Effortless Style

For those who prefer longer hair, long layers are the go-to style this autumn. They add shape and dimension while keeping the length intact, making them perfect for anyone who loves versatility. Long layers work beautifully with straight, wavy, or curly hair, giving a timeless yet modern feel.
