The Beatles' Hairdresser Tells All

Midday on WNYC | Mar 13, 2018

The Beatles’ hair style set off a cultural revolution. It was the symbol of the Sixties’ psychedelic dreams of peace, love and playful rebellion, and hairdresser Leslie Cavendish was the man behind it all. In his new memoir, The Cutting Edge, Cavendish details his journey from a North London suburb to becoming the Beatles’ hairdresser and a major influencer of 60's counterculture.

This segment is guest hosted by Kai Wright.
