Mullet Fade Haircut in Houston | Clean, Modern, and Full of Style

Thinking about leveling up your look with something bold, retro-inspired, and modern all at once? The mullet fade might be the cut you didn’t know you needed. At 007 Barbershop in Houston, we’ve seen this edgy style become one of the most requested cuts by guys of all ages — from young trendsetters to seasoned clients looking to stand out with confidence. It’s a little business, a lot of party — and our barbers know how to tailor it just right.

Whether you want something clean with a low taper or wild with a mohawk-style back, our Houston barbershop specializes in custom mullet fades that turn heads and fit your vibe. Every mullet we cut comes with conversation, precision, and a little extra swagger.

What is a Mullet Fade Haircut?

The mullet fade is a fresh twist on the classic mullet — short at the front and sides, longer at the back — but updated with clean faded sides for a smoother, more modern look. The fade can be adjusted from low to high, taper to skin, depending on your head shape, hair type, and personality.

Think about it like this: a mullet fade keeps the throwback coolness but dials in a present-day polish. It’s the best of both worlds — edgy but clean, stylish but manageable. And when you leave our chair, you don’t just walk out with a new cut. You walk out with an energy.

Our clients often come in looking to switch up their style, and when they see the way a mullet fade sculpts their profile and gives them confidence, they never look back. We’ve seen first-timers turn into loyal regulars with just one good mullet.

Popular Mullet Fade Variations

Low Taper Mullet Fade

Great for guys who want just a touch of edge. The fade starts low and blends gradually, keeping things wearable for everyday work and school settings. This version is easy to maintain and looks sharp even as it grows out. Great for first-timers and anyone who wants versatility.

Skin Fade Mullet

This high-contrast version makes the top and back pop. It’s bold, it’s clean, and it requires a confident attitude — and regular shape-ups. If you like keeping things crispy and fresh, this is your go-to.

Mohawk Mullet Fade

Ready to stand out? This version spikes the middle top section, adds sharp fades on the sides, and keeps the back full. A favorite among musicians, athletes, and creators. We’ve had clients rock this for shows, festivals, and even senior portraits. It’s an attention-getter.

Short Taper Mullet

A subtle, low-maintenance option that works well for kids, teens, and first-timers. You’ll still get that trademark mullet silhouette, but with a softer fade and shorter length. This one’s also parent-approved.

Burst Mullet Fade

A rounder, more dramatic fade that flares out just behind the ears and drops into the back. This version adds volume and looks great with curly or textured hair. It’s like the mullet went full superhero mode.

Mullet Fades for Kids & Teens

We get it — your kid wants something cool, and you want something clean. The mullet fade offers both. It’s one of the most requested youth styles here at 007 Barbershop. And let’s be honest — kids today know style better than we did.

From mohawk-inspired fades for creative kids to low tapers that pass school dress codes, we’ll help your young one look sharp and feel confident — whether it’s for picture day, game day, or just another Friday. We also take the time to make sure the cut works for their age, routine, and texture.

Barber Note: One of our youngest clients, 8-year-old Jordan, came in shy but left smiling ear to ear with his first mullet fade. His mom said he looked in every mirror they passed on the way out.

How We Customize Your Mullet Fade

At 007, we never do one-size-fits-all. Here’s how we tailor your cut:

  • Face Shape: Round face? We’ll lift the sides. Long face? We keep some balance up top.

  • Hair Texture: Curls get more volume in the back, while straight hair might get layers.

  • Lifestyle: You active or behind a desk? That matters. We build the cut around your life.

  • Styling Goals: Want to spike it? Comb it? Leave it wild? We plan for all that in the chair.

You’ll leave here knowing exactly how to style and maintain it.

Mullet Fade Maintenance & Styling Tips

  • Frequency: Come in every 2–3 weeks to keep that fade line crisp.

  • Styling: Use sea salt spray for a messy back, pomade for a slick front, or sponge curls for texture.

  • At Home: We’ll show you how to keep the neckline clean until your next visit.

  • Pro Tip: A satin pillowcase will help maintain that shape and volume longer overnight.

We’ve also got product recs based on your hair type — just ask your barber.
