The note like helmets, hair helmets, I started cutting the Beatles hair, some sort of late early late, 66, 67 almonds it started. I mean these guys go back to the early days of the 60s. When they went to Hamburg. They went along as rockers Little Rock the world, the old Gene, Vincent look, hair, greased back, you know motorbike rock-and-roll and that's how they looked that started until they moved on and decided to come back during them, but in between that they met somebody in Germany. From Hamburg in 1961 called a strip at the time the band consisted of John Paul George juice uplift and the drummer was Pete best no bingo when she met the Stewart's octave guys. She fell madly in love with him and she was with her boyfriend that I was cloud forming. A placer woman ended up playing bass, guitar for John and Yoko in the plastic owner van, but she decided to push her Klaus woman's hair forward because he had floppy ears when she saw Stuart Sutcliffe and she he was a very beautiful looking guy and she was A photographer that she thought that to get rid of the grease of her hair, she would wash the grease out and comb her hair forward. That, like you, did with cows, and that was the first time that the people sort of had this mop. But it came forward when they came back to England, you'll. Remember in England, the people that we were looking at were people like Perry Como, who was a big hit at Frank Sinatra with in the 50s, everything died, the big I'm, the only guy that was individual, was Elvis Presley and he had his office. Frizzy, hair cut, the only other haircut at the time, was a guy called Tony Curtis, handsome lookin actor if his hair was shorter than we wanted to have a Tony Curtis. Well, so you had a Tony Curtis or you had to polish it up, but suddenly the Beatles came along and had their hair no grease and had their hair going forward. Their hair was getting a little bit longer. You can't always have that fringe, but you look at the album people for sales instance. The hair is beautiful. You know all for them, hair, going forward shiny. It looked different, look like helmets, hair helmets. It wasn't until I think about 66, where they started. Georgia met Ravishankar a little bit later, but the influence of the Beatles was expanding within themselves, so it was always Lennon McCartney and gradually they were dressing individually. One day I would go there. John would have a massage and long sideburns. Exactly like Sergeant Pepper. That'S why I met in that situation. Paul would have a beard, George would have my moustache Ringo would understand not they were just. You know like every guy doing what they want to do, but you can imagine that if they appeared in the public with the mustache people, think oh it's trendy. Whenever my start or long cyber have long cyber aware national health classes, which I'll never originally used to get those in the National Health in England, nobody would ever wear them. That was the poor man's glasses John Lennon. Put him on and to this day is fashionable. They were never conscious of never ever said. I want my hair to like this or look like that. Look like that thinking back about cutting their hair. I didn't actually think of being such a big deal. I realized at the time that obviously doing their hair people would say: oh you're, the Beatles hairdresser. You know you must be good, you know so yeah, okay, so I used to get into where other people couldn't. So it was really good, so hair at the time. My hair was, it was very similar to where the Beatles hair was like everybody else, so I didn't think it was such a big deal. I mean their music was the big deal. It was until years later that people looked at the Beatles and looked at the fashion, looked at their hair and realized what a big impact they have. You
