As their increasingly wild, untamed manes grew, to the horror of parents everywhere, they set off a cultural revolution as the most tangible symbol of the Sixties' psychedelic dream of peace, love and playful rebellion. In the midst of this epochal change was Leslie Cavendish, hairdresser to the Beatles and some of the greatest stars of the music and entertainment industry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut just how did a fifteen-year-old Jewish school dropout from an undistinguished North London suburb, with no particular artistic talent or show­business connections, end up literally at the cutting edge of Sixties' fashion in just four years? His story – honest, always entertaining and inspiring – parallels the meteoric rise of the Beatles themselves, and is no less astounding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“He'll be for ever known as The Beatles' hairdresser and would make one heck of a dinner party guest.” —\u003ci\u003eSadie Nicholas, The Daily Express\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“What a fantastic read! … The stories Leslie has to tell had me laughing out loud.” —\u003ci\u003eAngie Rhodes, Nudge Books\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A fascinating view of what it was like working for the Beatles at the end of the Sixties.” —\u003ci\u003eRay Connolly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Leslie Cavendish wasn't just the Beatles' hairdresser, he was one of the few Londoners\/Cockneys at the core of the Apple empire.
