TIFF 2015: We talk to the stylist behind Dakota, Rachel and Elizabeth’s hair all week long

Mark Townsend rarely works with more than one client per day. But for Hollywood A-listers Elizabeth Olsen, Rachel McAdams and Dakota Johnson, he was more than willing to break his rule during this year’s TIFF.

The three leading ladies may be different when it comes to film genres and red carpet style, but if there is one thing they have in common, it’s that they can easily pull off any hairstyle, from elegant to cool girl grunge. Case in point: their individual TIFF premieres. Inspired by each of their dresses, Townsend juxtaposed their ultra-feminine gowns by working textured hairstyles that complemented the outfits rather stole the spotlight.

“These are all clients I’ve worked with for a long time so we [wardrobe stylist, client and makeup artist] all know each other very well,” says Townsend. “Our cooperation works because we all want each other’s input.”

Looking to step up your hairstyle game this season? Then you’ve come to the right place. We chatted with Townsend to get his take on three of the most-talked-about hairstyles on the TIFF 2015 red carpet, as well as a play-by-play on how to re-create each look. And the best part is that none of them require more than five steps from start to finish. #win
