If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, then internationally recognized beauty expert SAMY has been blessed with 20/20 vision. He has created looks for some of the most beautiful women of our generation from Cindy Crawford to Sharon Stone to Gloria Estefan. Rated one of America’s top 10 hairstylists by USA Today, this native of Cuba has managed to turn his ability to translate a woman’s inner beauty into a stunning outward appearance and build a worldwide, multi-million dollar empire.

Taking 25 years worth of hands on experience at his mega successful Day Spa and Salon at Miami’s Radisson Hotel, SAMY has become an undisputed star on the Home Shopping Network. His Samy Salon Systems line of skin and haircare products is the network’s #1 seller and has allowed his company to become the fastest growing beauty company in the USA. With more than 70 million viewers worldwide, this outstanding line of products, fortified with Retinol and vitamins A, C and E, sells $4,500 worth of product per minute. That translates to $200,000 per hour and a staggering $1 million per day!

At the heart of SAMY’s success is the simple concept he developed as a boy when he began experimenting on his mother’s hair hoping to make her look like the glamorous women he saw in magazines. First, really get to know the woman and understand who she is and what she wants from beauty products. Second, offer her high quality beauty products at an affordable price. “And always remember, the customer is the real star!” says SAMY.

SAMY has been honored with his own star on the Calle Ocho, Miami’s version of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He has also been invited to the White House as one of America’s most influential Hispanics joining the ranks of Oscar de la Renta, Paloma Picasso and Adolpho.

Currently a resident of Miami, SAMY shares his good fortune through tireless charity work. He is an honorary chairman for the Make a Wish Foundation and has been involved with the League Against Cancer Telethon for the past 16 years. Samy has also been chosen as the Aids Relief Fund’s spokesperson for Miami’s International Beauty Show, raising thousands of dollars for beauty professionals living with HIV and AIDS.
