Earth Day Beauty: ĕ ∙sen∙cia by Samy.

The essence of healthy hair meets the power of style with ĕ ∙sen∙cia by Samy – the newest collection from Samy Salon Systems. A complete line of 100% vegan, natural and organic shampoos, conditioners and styling products designed to indulge your tresses and senses.
