The guy who asked for a 'modern mullet' and pointed at a 90s photo
Last week this dude comes in, sits down, and says he wants a modern mullet. I ask what he means by modern, and he pulls out his phone showing me a photo of Joe Dirt. I'm like, really? That's not modern. He insisted the back needs to be long and the front short, exact same as the picture. I tried to explain that modern mullets are more textured and blended, but he wouldn't hear it. So I cut it like the photo, and when I showed him the mirror, he got mad and said it looks outdated. I had to redo the whole thing for free. Has anyone else had customers describe a style but mean something totally different?

Dude probably saw one picture and thought that was the only version. People just hear the word "modern" and assume it means anything from this decade.

Read a piece recently about how architects in the 50s were already calling their stuff "modern" and hating what came after. Makes you realize the word is basically useless since every generation thinks their style is the current one. Isn't the whole point of modern design that it's supposed to look fresh, not like a timestamp?
