INTERVIEW WITH LESLIE CAVENISH (hair cutter to the Beatles and other notable celebrities)

*******
Leslie was the Beatles Hairdresser from 1967 to 1975

Leslie Cavendish left school at 15 years old, without any artistic qualifications to become a hairdresser. He worked for the iconic “’60s” hair stylist Vidal Sassoon. Leslie counted many of the stars of the day among his clients — including Keith Moon, Bee Gees, Dave Clark Five, James Hunt, Terry Stamp, Jane Asher, James Taylor and so many more — but the jewel in his career’s crown was styling perhaps the four most famous heads of hair in history: The Beatles.

*******
Matt and I sit down with Leslie and talk about his wonderful career with Vidal Sassoon. This career led to his involvement with the Beatles and Apple.

Leslie has a wonderful book called "THE CUTTING EDGE - The Story of the Beatles' Hairdresser Who Defined an Era
We start the interview talking about Tiffany (the 80s singer) and food.

Then we get into his book:
- His beginnings about his Uncle who played with Ella Fitzgerald
- Collecting 45s (his cousin would send him music from the US)
- The differance between a Hair Stylist and a Hair Cutter
- Meeting Paul McCartney for the first time at his home on Cavendish Ave.
- The day he convinced Paul to cut off all his hair
- Almost getting fired for joining Paul and the boys to film the Magical Mystery Tour.
- Meeting Jimi Hendrix
- Leslie's top 3 Beatles songs (it's hard to pick just 3)
Leslie has some great stories from his book but we don't give too much away.

Another great interview!
