Hayden Cassidy talks collaborations, authenticity, and what to watch...
JAPAN
I visited in November and since then, I have become so inspired by the culture.
AIMÉ LEON DORE
I cut Teddy Santis' hair when he's in London and I love his process. His vision is incredible – he just loves what he does and loves to tell stories. I admire people who are not afraid to be authentic and he's a prime example of getting it right.
Six Things That Are Inspiring Me Right Now...
RECORD STORES AND BOOKSHOPS
I could spend hours rummaging around record stores and bookshops. You can be instantly inspired by not only the products but the way the shop is laid out. Each shop is individual, and I love that.
NETFLEX SERIES ABSTRACT
For anyone wanting any inspiration, I URGE you to watch this series. Thank me later.
LONDON AND MY COMMUNITY
Most of my friends are creatives and I think it's so important to surround yourself with people who push you. I've collaborated a lot and I always know someone will be around to create something fun.
MUSIC
I cut some incredible artists including The Murder Capital, Miles Kane, and Fontaines D.C – they inspire me so much because their image is a part of their characher. They ooze confidence and they aren't afraid to be different.
I've always lived in cities at the forefront of fashion. I usually get to try a trend before it becomes a trend. You can bend the rules and experiment and that's one of the reasons I fell in love with barbering.
