Agape

Agape describes itself as an organic salon and spa in Broadview Heights, Ohio, run by Agape Salon LLC. It frames its approach as holistic beauty, with attention on every detail of a visit, and lists five guiding values: love, transparency, unity, optimism and structure. The salon states that its mission is to raise standards within the beauty industry.

Appointments are booked through the salon's reservations page and confirmed by text or email 48 hours ahead. A credit or debit card is needed to hold a booking. Rescheduling or cancelling with less than 48 hours' notice forfeits the deposit, and arriving more than 15 minutes late counts as a cancellation. Clients with three or more cancellations must pay a deposit covering the full cost of the services they want when booking later appointments.

For chemical services, the salon asks clients to talk through their color history and any medications with their stylist beforehand. It notes that prior coloring or lightening, texture services, metallic dyes, henna, box dyes, well water, certain prescription medications, heat or environmental damage, and silicone-containing products can lead to negative reactions.

Oway products are made from ingredients grown through biodynamic farming in Bologna, Italy, and come in glass and aluminum packaging instead of plastic. The salon also carries Evo gel polish, which is described as non-toxic, contains vitamins A and E, and can be removed without damage. The Journal section of the website publishes posts on hair, scalp, skincare and makeup routines, along with product topics.
