In this episode of the Friends in Beauty Podcast, we’re joined by Moira Frazier, the Emmy-nominated, award-winning Hair Department Head behind the hit ABC series Abbott Elementary. With two consecutive Emmy nominations and Hollywood Makeup Artist & Hair Stylist Guild Awards, Moira is behind some of the most beloved hair moments in modern television.
During our chat we dive into:
Her creative process for transforming characters through hair
How she turned 65 kids into “grannies” for the 100th Day episode using 75 wigs
Styling Sheryl Lee Ralph’s waterproof wig—with no glue
Paying homage to Aaliyah, Blade, and Dolemite in the Halloween episode
Making a wig for a guinea pig to match Lisa Ann Walter’s character
What it takes to lead a successful hair department in TV
Moira shares the behind-the-scenes magic of creating hair looks that elevate storylines, celebrate identity, and reflect the cultural authenticity of Abbott Elementary. If you’re a beauty pro, stylist, or fan of the show—this episode is full of inspiration, laughter, and brilliance.
