Pageboy Haircut for Women

20 Styles

The last time I saw a pageboy haircut it was in my mum’s wedding album – she had that pageboy hairstyle when she married over 35 years ago. I thought she looked so stunning with those short, sharp, and sleek locks, so I am delighted that the pageboy haircut is making a major comeback this season. The retro style is characterized by turned under lengths that fall below the ear and full bangs. Whether you go for classic retro or for a contemporary twist, your pageboy style will be a real head-turner. Check out some of our favorite pageboy haircut ideas for women.
