David Cassidy on Real Housewives, Rolexes and Hair Repair

November 26, 2025

What’s the reason you fell in love with hairdressing?

I’m a Libra, so it was basically destiny to want a career based around making everything more aesthetic! I also love instant gratification, so I really liked learning to fit hair extensions.

What’s the most treasured item in your kitbag?

It’s got to be the Kevin Murphy Texture Comb – it’s like a magic wand for light, bouncy texture.

What’s the most memorable moment in your career so far?

I absolutely love day-to-day salon life, but working with A-list actors like Barry Keoghan and then seeing that work at the Met Gala is definitely memorable!

What’s your go-to hair product right now?

I love seeing the results clients are having when they use Shu Uemura Essence Absolue twice a day. It’s as close as you’re going to get to a magic potion for healthy, strong, long hair!

What’s the favourite look you have created?

My favourite looks are always the ones we achieve in collaboration. When you make a really good connection with your client and you know you’ve really nailed their brief, then you get to see how confident they feel.

What’s your drink of choice at the bar?

It’s always a single tequila soda with three limes – CARCASS OUT!!

What’s the last thing you bought?

It was recently my 40th birthday, so the last thing I bought was actually my birthday Rolex. I picked it up the same day that I won Professional Extensionist of the Year at the 2025 Pro Hair Awards – what a great way to end my 30s!

What’s your go-to takeaway order?

I live in Brighton, so I’m probably a bit spoilt for bougie takeaways. My go-to though has become salt and chilli chips with chow mein from the local Chinese.

What’s your top binge-watch recommendation?

I will probably just watch Real Housewives on repeat till the end of time…

What’s your go-to karaoke song?

Mine and my husband’s karaoke song is either Shallow by Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga (but I sing both parts), or No More Tears by Donna Summer and Barbra Streisand (but I don’t really know the words!).
