THE POMPADOUR

A TIMELESS CLASSIC

There aren’t many popular styles today that can say they date back hundreds of years, but the Pompadour can! Madame de Pompadour of 17th Century France made it popular among the ladies, but as time passed, men’s interest grew in this style. By the 1950’s, with iconic rebels like Elvis Presley and James Dean sporting this look, the Pompadour became a symbol of rebellion and gained even more popularity among men.
