We visited Wigmaker Associates in Beverly Hills, California, where wigmaker Rob Pickens creates hairpieces ranging from Millie Bobby Brown's buzz cut in "Stranger Things" to Ana de Armas' Marilyn curls in "Blonde." Find out how Rob's team designs full heads of hair to be undetectable on-screen.
Rob shows us how wigmakers trace the intricacies of actors' hairlines and growth patterns to create wigs that mimic nature. He breaks down how the camera and the lighting influence the color of wigs, from Amanda Seyfried's blond in "Mank" to Eddie's ash brown in "Stranger Things." And having worked on period pieces like "Pose," "The Gilded Age," and "American Crime Story," Rob explains how historical settings shape the color and texture of his wigs.
Rob's creations include Tom Hardy's Scarface wigs for "Capone" (2020), Michelle Pfeiffer's Betty Ford wigs for "The First Lady" (2022), and Tom Hanks' Mr. Rogers wigs for "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" (2019). He has also created wigs for Will Ferrell in "Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga" (2020), Jamie Lee Curtis in "Halloween" (2018), and Billie Eilish in her "Xanny" video (2019).
