You've likely coveted The Olsens' beachy waves, Dakota Johnson's bangs, or the bold stylings of Christina Aguilera at one point or another. Their looks are attributed to the shear (ha) genius of celebrity hairstylist Mark Townsend. Mark made waves of his own working in Hollywood, from assisting Danilo and Sally Hershberger to creating looks for Vanity Fair, The Met Gala, beauty campaigns and countless red carpets. Mark pulls back the curtain to discuss things we really like a know, like how it works when he gets sponsored by a brand but his client is not? Plus: which products The Olsens could have been long-term testers for, the hair products and tools that are unsung heroes in his line of work, and lots more juicy details from his career.Shop Mark's picksPlease fill out this survey to help us make our content better for you! http://bit.ly/glossangeles-surveyWatch our episodes!GlossAngelesPod.comCALL or TEXT US: 424-341-0426Join our Slack to try new products before they launchJoin our FB GroupInstagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.com
