Sofia Coppola’s “Priscilla” is a feast for the eye, with its sophisticated sense of style and set decoration. But to tell the story of Elvis Presley (Jacob Elordi) and his bride, Priscilla (Cailee Spaeny), the look of the performers were the opening entry point. For hairstylist Cliona Furey, period pieces are her speciality; she’s also worked on opulent features like Guillermo del Toro’s “Crimson Peak” and “Nightmare Alley.”
Shooting the movie in just 30 days though put all the below-the-line team in a frenzy to get everything accomplished on time and under budget, and hair was no exception. At one point, working with Spaeny, Furey was helping the actress glue on her wig when the power in Furey’s trailer went out. “It was a 30-day shoot so everything was rush, rush, rush and a lot of daylight dependent scenes. So they were waiting for me when the...

During a later scene in Guillermo del Toro’s “Nightmare Alley,” Rooney Mara’s character Molly jumps in a car with Stan (Bradley Cooper) and takes off a wig that she had been wearing to disguise herself. The filming of that scene was trickier than anyone in the audience could have guessed, since there was a whole lot happening on the Oscar-nominated actress’s head.
“Rooney’s normal 1940s shoulder length-hair was a wig,” Cliona Furey, the film’s hair designer, explained to TheWrap. “So when Rooney removes the wig in the car, that was a wig on top of a wig.”
Pulling that off, so to speak, is considered one of the biggest challenges for any tresses team. “It’s every hairstylist’s nightmare,” said Furey. “But we carefully designed the wigs and we and somehow it worked.”
In fact, those two pieces of hair handiwork were among more...
