A Global Stage for Hair Artistry
This month, Iron + Ivy Hair Studio had the incredible opportunity to represent New Zealand at one of the hair industry’s most prestigious events — the Moroccanoil Collective in Las Vegas, USA. This was truly an honour to be part of the Moroccanoil Collective Las Vegas experience.

Team members Lauren, Karly, Parehuia, and Olivia joined hundreds of top stylists from around the globe. They enjoyed three unforgettable days of inspiration, creativity, and advanced education at the Moroccanoil Collective Las Vegas event.
What is the Moroccanoil Collective?
The Moroccanoil Collective is an international hair conference. Here, the world’s best stylists come together to share cutting-edge techniques and showcase breathtaking artistry. They inspire the next wave of hair trends. The Moroccanoil Collective Las Vegas event was a melting pot of talent and inspiration.
Over the course of three days, our team took part in:
- Hands-on workshops with internationally renowned educators
- Artistic stage presentations featuring bold, innovative styling
- Business and branding seminars designed for forward-thinking salons

Investing in global education means our team brings back the latest techniques, product knowledge, and creative direction before it reaches New Zealand. It directly benefits our clients — the skills and insights from these events translate into better service in the salon.
What did the Iron + Ivy team learn at the Las Vegas Collective?
The Collective covered new product launches, advanced application techniques, business and creative direction, and peer education from some of the world’s top Moroccanoil salons. Our team returned with new methods for colour application, finishing, and treatment protocols.
