Big Hair, Big Fun - preparing for the 80's hair comeback!
I once read that fashion trends circle back every 20-30 years. In the event this phenomenon occurs in the hairstyle realm, I thought it useful to educate (in some cases re-educate) the public about the finer points of 80's style hair. And for those readers who currently sport one of these styles, well you may be ahead of the curve, but don't ask for royalties if your photo is included in this guide. * the Classic Mullet and Camero Mullet were repurposed from mulletsgalore.com - a highly recommended mullet resource.
Classic Mullet
This
specimen is a clear demonstration of a classic mullet. Note how this
mullet proudly displays his exotic plumage while in a menacing stance
— classic indeed.
The mesh tank-top, digital watch,
silver chain, and molestache all add points to this fine specimen’s
overall look and mulletude.
Camero Mullet
The
CamaroMullet used to have full reign over the mullet brethren, but that was
back in the ’70s and ’80s. This species has fallen from grace since, but can
still be seen enjoying NASCAR events and shopping at Kragen, or up in the attic
cooking up crank. Distinguishing
features include: a molestache (peach fuzzy), tight-fitting acid wash jeans,
and an ever-present key ring hanging from the belt loop. Feel the
mulletude emanating through your computer screen from this rare pic. It
is not recommended you confront the CamaroMullet, for they are very aggressive
and cannot be hurt (this might be due to the frequent use of methamphetamines,
angel dust, etc.).
Sasquamullet
If Sasquatch were to sport a mullet, this would be the result. Notice how the mullet blends nicely with the back fur … GRRRRRR. Hey, did you happen to see the 40 year old virgin? You might want to check it out ….
Celebrity Hair
No 80’s hair guide would be complete without those famous people who inspired the hairevolution.
Dee Snyder
David Daniel “Dee” Snider (born March 15, 1955) is an American musician, radio personality, and actor. Snider is most famous for his role as the frontman of the American hard rock band Twisted Sister.
Woonoh's Hair Salon
705 E 6TH AVE DENVER, CO 80203
A cheap wooden sign outside Woonoh’s Hair Salon sums up the bare-bones barbershop in three perfectly hand-drawn words: Nite Hair City. Stylist Woonoh will gladly take appointments at nearly any hour, especially late into the evening. With only one chair and one sink, there may be some waiting
Prom Hair - much adoo about nothing
While the hair was always big in the 80’s, prom was that special opportunity to Go Big or Go Home! Note the Mullet on the left below, and in the 80’s color choices of cumberbunds included pink and baby blue.
Family Photo at JCPenny
I really think we have a good case for Child Abuse here. If you don’t love yourself at least love your family! Think Land of the Lost – Pikuni (bet you didn’t know the names of the hairly little creatures).
Flock of Seagulls
A Flock of Seagulls (also known as Flock of Seagulls) are a synth rock group originally formed by brothers Mike Score (keyboards, vocals) and Ali Score (drums), with Frank Maudsley (bass) and Paul Reynolds (guitar). They became notable in the 1980s for their MTV video for the song “I Ran (So Far Away)”.
Cinderella
Started out as strictly a glam band, but evolved into a much more bluesy, melodic band in the 90’s. Became MTV darlings with a string of catchy singles and successful albums. Little label or media support slowed the band down in their later years, but they continue to have a loyal following.
If you want to stay on the cutting edge, take a hair tip from salon owner and stylist Steve Trujillo and think 1980s. Specifically, think mullets, feathered hair and spikes.
“The ’80s are back,” Trujillo said.
As owner of El Salon, located at 265 Detroit St. in Cherry Creek North, Trujillo has seen styles come and go. Not only are, like, totally ‘80s hair styles currently in vogue, but Trujillo said it’s also now acceptable for men to pamper themselves when it comes to getting a haircut.

The salon services at the Emily Griffith Opportunity School’s student salon are so cheap you might be tempted to get your hair done twice in one visit. Outside of a Third World country, where else can you find a $5 haircut, a $7 facial or a $4 manicure?
