Judging Criteria

All mullets will be judged on these four criteria. The individual with the highest combined score will be declared the winner.

1. Size: the overall length, width, and density (fullness) of the hair
2. Hair Style: the graduation, taper, grooming, symmetry of the hair style
3. Presentation: how the style fits the individual and compliments their overall style
4. Audience Reaction / Dazzle: stage presence, personality, how the hairstyle is portrayed on stage, 30 second stage walk
