Very similar to the bob, the pageboy cut is making a comeback, a customizable medium-short cut with a modern twist that will make you fall in love. Discover it with us!
The pageboy cut is making a comeback as the latest vintage haircut, and as the name suggests, it represents the pageboy’s cut.
Distinctive features: straight, often smooth bangs (but not only), a medium-short length that caresses the ears and neck, and a rounded fold inward. Labeled retro, it’s no coincidence; the ’60s popularized it with an original, vaguely bon ton touch. The modern version nods to the short bob, incorporating wavy hair and experimental pop colors, all worth experimenting with. Explore how to embrace this cut and discover some recommended looks.
Why You Should Try the Pageboy Cut
Let’s start with why you should give it a go: the pageboy cut is an elegant and geometric cut that suits every hair type and face shape. One of the key factors that contributed to its popularity in the 1960s/1970s (and still today, especially) is its versatility.
Although it is a “cut for everyone,” experts recommend adapting it well to individual characteristics, i.e., facial shapes, also because, skillfully crafted, the pageboy cut can enhance features but also soften traits (think, for example, of those with angular jaws) or give harmony to rounder faces.
The Modernized Version of the Pageboy Cut
Forget the classic look from movies; to be edgy, revisit the cut with layers and bangs. Transform the classic bob by adding trendy elements like side layers and curtain-like bangs as per the fall 2023 hair trend.
And then, there are the colors. Wisteria mixed with blonde, brown with copper brushstrokes, or multicolored: even playing with layers of shades can give the pageboy cut a decidedly new allure.
