Frequently Asked Questions About the Wolf Cut

Common questions on styling, hair types, and barber consultations.

Is a wolf cut the same as a mullet?

A mullet has a distinct disconnect between very short sides and a long back. A wolf cut has continuous, blended layers all around, creating a softer, shaggier silhouette.
