I agree that the x is controlling towards OP and theur child.

It's your son's hair to do with as he pleases. The ex can just get over himself.
Side note, I personally despise mullets and I loathe the fact that they are back in fashion. But the only hair I control is my own and I wouldn't even try to tell my own sons what to do with their hair. Even DH would just get a strong opinion from me but I wouldn't stop him if he wanted it.
Funny story - When DH was in middle school I think, when the buzz cut was really popular, he wanted one and his mom told him no and so he never got one. Her reason - it was a fad that wouldn't last long. I still don't understand why she had that reasoning because by the time the fad was gone, the buzz cut would've grown out and be ready for something different. Some people are just really weird about hair.

This. And come on, good luck with that. My 19 year old refuses haircuts as much as he can. He relented some weeks ago for Passover, but still, he wants the front of his hair all overgrown. Kid looks like an Old English Sheepdog, I don’t know how he sees where he’s going. But, it’s what he wants, and if this is his way to rebel, then cool. It could be worse
