Online bingo site Foxy Bingo recently opened the doors to a pop-up mullet-only salon for a few days to encourage people in Newcastle to "Get Their Fox On." At the one-of-a-kind salon, Dirty Gertie’s Mullet Salon, (named after the classic bingo call number 30) visitors got to get a free mullet haircut or even a "shullet," as well as enjoy a cup of tea and a game of bingo.
This salon ties in with the Get Your Fox On campaign from Foxy Bingo, who debuted in November 2022. With this mullet-only salon bringing the essence of the campaign to life, the brand made its attitude and personality known, and offered the chance for people to get styled with the same spirit.
