Interview with Lawrence Davis

Lawrence Davis is a two-time Emmy-winning film and TV Hair Department Head with more than 22 years of industry experience. After styling hair for 11 years in his hometown of Baltimore, he sold it all, moved to California, and never looked back.

Lawrence began his career as a freelance hairstylist at E! Entertainment Television in 2002 before coming on board for Season One of The Tyra Show. Lawrence continued his work on the show into Season Two, for which he landed an Emmy award for Outstanding Achievement in Hairstyling for Daytime Television in 2007. Ten years later, Lawrence won a second Emmy for his work on Hairspray Live! He has earned five additional Emmy nominations for Outstanding Hairstyling for Bessie, True Detective, Mare of Eastown, and The First Lady.

Over the years, Lawrence has led as the Hair Department Head of several high-profile films and TV series including HBO’s Watchmen starring Regina King, Netflix’s Mudbound; and Just Mercy, starring Michael B. Jordan.

In addition to his work as a Hair Department Head, Lawrence served as a Key Hair Stylist on several well-known films, including Green Book, Tag, The Founder, Dirty Grandpa, and Vacation. He was also a hairstylist on films such as The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues.

Most recently, he was the Hair Dept. Head of Warner Bros.’ 2023 musical adaptation The ColorPurple, starring Fantasia Barrino, Danielle Brooks, Taraji P. Henson, and Coleman Domingo. Lawrence received a Critics Choice nomination for Best Hair and Makeup, an NAACP Image Award nomination, and a Local 706 Makeup Artist and Hairstyling Guild Award (MUAHS) nomination for his work on the film. Positive thinking, taking direction and great networking have been the key to Lawrence’s success. Making people look and feel good is what pleases him the most.
