PORT ORCHARD — It's been more than five years since Julea Penland launched her mission "to beautify Kitsap County one mullet at a time."
The beautician began offering free haircuts to anyone sporting the once-popular "business in the front, party in the back" hairstyle because she believes they perpetuate negative stereotypes about Kitsap County.
And she plain thinks they're ugly.
Her sign advertising "Free Mullet Removal" has drawn plenty of yuks and people stop by almost daily to take pictures of the readerboard at her Port Orchard spa and salon.
But so far, no one has taken her up on the offer.
Could it be that the Kitsap County mullet is extinct?
Hardly, says Penland.
"People with mullets either love them and want to keep them, or they don't know they have them," said Penland sadly. "They're in mullet denial."
A recent unscientific poll in Kitsap County revealed few true "legal mullets," but numerous near misses. A few men with true mullets refused to acknowledge they sported the hairstyle, while others were unrepentant about their mullet-dom.
"I know everybody makes fun of them, but I don't care," said Nick Marks, a 49-year-old yard-maintenance man from Olalla who prefers to call his hairdo " '70s style."

That’s not a mullet.
That’s just long hair.
