SEARCHDimitrios Tsioumas presents Lampyridae to celebrate the opening of the new Goldwell/KMS California Academy in NYC.
In honor of the opening of the new Goldwell KMS California flagship location in NYC, Goldwell Hair Care Global Artistic Master Dimitrios Tsioumas created Lampyridae, an original color and style collection.
