Sami Skinner, Sam Villa ambassador (@samiskinnerhair), shares how to cut a shullet.
“I have a lot of clients who have been wearing shags for a bit now and are ready to jump into something new, yet don’t want to cut over their ears for a mullet shape. So, this razor cut shullet bridges that gap for them,” explains Skinner.
The shullet combines the silhouette of a shag with the textured interior layering of a mullet, framed with a crescent fringe. Learn how to cut it here.
Step by Step
- Use a swivel designed razor with rubber handle such as the Sam Villa Signature Series Razor on wet hair for a clean cut.
- Break down the cut into three sections – front/bangs, top and perimeter.
- Use a comb to find the natural fall of the hair to determine sectioning.
- Deep zigzag sections on the side and back help create texture and balance.
- Overdiretion will create the long to short layers and a crescent shape around the face frame.
- Work back and forth from side to side to ensure balance and symmetry.
- Carve out side petals to help bangs kick out.
- To Style: Apply Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate and use the palm of hands to push hair in place to encourage a wave pattern. Then, diffuse with a Sam Villa Professional Light Ionic Blow Dryer to encourage waves.
