'Mullets For Mental Health' is raising awareness and much-needed funds for the Black Dog Institute.
It’s time to shine Geelong.
After gaining traction in the late ’70s and peaking in the ’80s, the mullet became one of the most iconic hairstyles of all time. While this short at the front, long at the back haircut has had its fair share of jokes, we’ve seen it slowly making its way back into fashion in recent times.
Suited to men to those you aren’t afraid to stray from the crowd and don’t take themselves too seriously, there’s now a very, very good reason to get yourself one of these majestic hairstyles thanks to the good humans over at The Deck in Geelong.
Teaming up with The Streets Barbershop, The Deck are running a new event, ‘Mullets For Mental Health’, on Sunday, May 30 in the name of raising awareness and much-needed funds the Black Dog Institute.
