At this year's IBS Las Vegas, the pair will be combining their talents and taking the stage for a creative session covering looks for photography competitions and creative photoshoots. Learn styling techniques and on-set lessons that will make your next shoot, your best shoot. We sat down with Moser and Samuels to ask them a few things that you may not know about them.
What's one piece of advice you'd give to your younger self?
RS: Remember to keep pushing boundaries and expand your horizons.
What's your favorite trend right now?
LM: I'm loving everything about textured hair. Men and women are embracing texture and as a stylist, it's a fun journey to go on with them.
Explain your presentation in five words or less:
RS: Not to be missed.
Who do you look up to?
LM: One of my favorite people in the industry is Ginger Boyle. She has mastered being a stylist, salon owner, and educator with grace.
Do you remember the moment you decided to become a hairdresser?
RS: My mom gave me an ultimatum to enlist in the army or find a job. I started my barbering apprenticeship the next day and never looked back.
Who inspires you?
RS: My wife is my biggest inspiration. She always has these hunches that keep me in a continuous state of planning and creating.
What can attendees expect from our presentation at IBS?
LM: A presentation that will energize and inspire those looking to shoot their work for competition, marketing and portfolios.
