I was born in London, in the East End – Cable Street. At the age of 6 months, my family moved to North London where I later was enrolled in the Chandos School and was a Beatles fan even then.

 

I became captain of the football team at the school. I left school at 15 with no particular trade in mind. One day I had to meet my mother at her hairdresser’s. I was so impressed by the beautiful women in the salon that from that time I was set on becoming a hairdresser!

 

Shortly after, I started an apprenticeship at Vidal Sassoon’s, with Vidal himself!, at their salon in Bond Street. I then moved as a junior to a new salon at the Grosvenor Hotel. I completed a three-year apprenticeship in only two years.

 

It was shortly after I had qualified as a sylist that I met Jane Asher, Paul McCartney's girlfriend at the time, and the rest as they say, is history ...read the full interview I gave to the British Beatles Fan Club in February 2009 here ...

 

I was interviewed for the Hampstead & Highgate Express in December 2009 - read the interview here or visit their website: www.hamhigh.co.uk
