beatles scene hair cut
John Lennon and Paul McCartney take a two-week vacation in Paris,
France, funded with the 100 pounds that John had been given by his
Aunt Elizabeth two weeks before his 21st birthday. While in Paris,
they meet with Hamburg friend Jurgen Vollmer, who persuades John
and Paul to permanently restyle their hair into the "Beatle
haircut", which is the way most French teenagers are wearing their
hair. [Note: The Beatles, with the exception of Pete Best, had
adopted the "Beatle haircut" the previous spring during a 3-month
residency at the Top Ten Club in Hamburg, West Germany. Stu
Sutcliffe had been the first to have his hair cut in that fashion,
and the others (except Pete) soon had their hair cut in that style
also. But they had reverted to their earlier hair style upon their
return to England in July 1961.
