Soma began it's journey in 1995 just outside Toronto, Canada, with two friends that shared similar passions and beliefs. One being a chemist and the other in business management, began to develop and make Soma hair care products in there make-shift lab. Sampling to family and friends they could trust, the results came back with enthusiastic praises. Soma launched that year with only five products, three shampoos and two conditioner's with names like Wind, Rain and Cascade.

Soma's focus was two criteria - Quality and Environmental Impact. Heading into an extremly competitive market place at it's peak, Soma had noticed that as smaller companies were gobbled up by the "big guys" the quality of the products were losing ground in favor of funding large marketing campaigns. Professional products were shifting from stylist-support products to marketing savy mass retail products. At the same time a prosperous economy over shadowed environmental awareness. Soma had an advantage, we formulated all of our own products and although more costly, Soma could make them 100% Biodegradable, and more recently, completely Vegan and Organic.

Today Soma prides itself with select quality ingredients. A wet line that now consists of over 20 Shampoos, Conditioners, Styling and Finishing products. Distribution is continuing to grow across North America, with partners that share the same visions as Soma. Uncompromising professional quality salon products with net zero environmental impact!
