Short, chic, and timeless—this 1950s icon is making a bold comeback. The pixie’s face-framing softness paired with modern texturizing products gives it versatility that works across age groups and face shapes.
2. Farrah Fawcett Feathered Layers
Remember those magnificent 1970s wings? They’re back with less hairspray and more natural movement. Modern cutting techniques create the iconic shape while allowing today’s woman to achieve the look without hours under a blow dryer.
3. Flapper Bob
Gatsby glamour returns with this sleek chin-length cut. Unlike the severe original, 2025’s version features softer edges and subtle layers that flatter a wider range of face shapes while maintaining that bold 1920s spirit.

Platinum bombshell curls are staging a comeback! Today’s version uses gentler bleaching techniques and heat-free setting methods. The result? Those glamorous 1950s curls without the damage that plagued the original trend.
5. The Shag Mullet Hybrid
Business in front, party in back—with style! This 1970s-meets-1980s fusion features face-framing layers with longer back sections. Modern styling products give it texture without the dated crunchiness of its ancestors.
6. The Rachel 2.0
Jennifer Aniston’s iconic 1990s cut gets a refresh with fewer layers and more blended transitions. Today’s version maintains the face-framing effect while eliminating the choppy, high-maintenance aspects that made the original difficult to style.
7. Bettie Page Bangs
Those iconic thick, straight-across bangs from the 1950s are back, but with customization options. Modern stylists are adapting the length and thickness to suit different face shapes while maintaining that bold, statement-making effect.
8. The Pompadour Pixie
Elvis meets Twiggy in this gender-fluid style. The height and volume of a 1950s pompadour combines with the short sides of a pixie cut, creating a statement-making style that works across the gender spectrum.
9. Disco Curls
The voluminous, free-spirited curls of the 1970s disco era return with better products and techniques. Today’s version celebrates natural texture with less frizz and more definition, making it accessible to more hair types.
10. The Modernized Mullet
Not your uncle’s mullet! This refined version features softer transitions between short and long sections. Strategic texturizing and face-framing pieces create a fashion-forward look that’s more runway than rural.
11. Pageboy Bob
This 1960s classic features a rounded silhouette with curved-under ends. The updated version incorporates subtle layers for movement while maintaining that distinctive shape. Think Jackie O meets 2025 minimalism.
12. The Wedge Cut
Dorothy Hamill’s 1970s signature look returns with softer graduation. The distinctive shape remains, but modern techniques create more movement and versatility. Perfect for active people who want style without fuss.
13. The Brushed-Out Finger Wave
Those tight, shellacked waves of the 1920s and 30s get a breathable update. Setting techniques create the distinctive S-pattern, but gentle brushing transforms them into soft, wearable waves with vintage character.
14. The Asymmetrical New Wave
Taking cues from 1980s new wave musicians, this dramatic cut features deliberate asymmetry and bold angles. The 2025 version incorporates softer textures and customized proportions that flatter rather than shock.
15. The Rockabilly Pompadour
This 1950s greaser style gets a gender-inclusive makeover. The dramatic front height remains, but versatile styling options and varied lengths make it adaptable for different face shapes and personal expressions.
