Ep. 276: The Emmy-Nominated Hair Department Head Behind Abbott Elementary - Moira Frazier

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.
