BBA Style Director Chris Foster and Master Barber Erik Lander have over half a century’s worth of combined experience at their disposal to make a difference. caught up with Chris and Erik for a chat…
Q When did you first know you wanted to be a hairstylist?
Chris Foster: My first inspiration for becoming a hairstylist came from watching the creativity of barbering in the ’90s. The interaction and the culture inspired me.
Erik Lander: I come from a family of hairdressers and barbers. I was always in the salon as a child, and I knew from a very young age that I wanted to be in the industry. I started to work in the salon after school and in the holidays—I loved interacting with diverse people as well as getting a thrill out of changing their looks to make them feel great.
Q What is the biggest hindrance when it comes to working in and managing creative teams?
Chris: I guess the biggest hindrance in working with creative teams is generally ensuring that everyone in the team has the same creative passion and commitment.
Erik: Ego. It’s a major part of our industry. When you are part of a team it’s never about the individual, it should always be about the team.
