His cutting edge leadership in the industry has earned him an international reputation with his work being featured in many fashion magazines in the United States and Europe. Sami's recognition has also included local and national television exposure.  He has studied, performed and competed in his art form, working with top fashion photographers and models throughout the world - including Jordan, Greece, England, Canada, Korea, France and all through the United States.  But it was in Wichita, Kansas that he captured the entrepreneurial spirit and opened Sami Halaseh Salon, a leading salon with an emphasis on customer service, and an interest in educating clients, staff and others about health and beauty trends and issues.
