The Idol

200 wig fixes. 2 weeks. 1 very stressed Comp Sup (me).

HBO’s provocative pop-star drama demanded flawless hair continuity—so we tracked, painted, de-glued, de-hair netted, and reconstructed every flyaway strand of The Weeknd’s long fake locks across nearly 200 shots. I was lucky enough to lead an incredibly talented team of 10 artists to make Jocelyn’s breakdown look intentionally messy (while keeping the hair surgically precise).
