Ismael & Ana Jimenez

Agape Salon began with an idea of creating an environment where Ana would always be happy doing what she loves, which is; Hair and everything to do with hair. A place where Ana would be able to extend her love of hair and share that love with others.

We chose the name Agape, because of its meaning, it’s a Greek word that means LOVE, God’s unconditional love. And we want to utilize the gifts He has given us to share our love of hair with others. You can follow our amazing journey on our Instagram account.

Kristy

Hi, my name is Kristy and I am so thrilled to join the team at Agape Salon. I fell in love with this creative career over 27 years ago and I am so happy to say that love has never faded. I started out in Riverside Ca where I learned a wide range of salon services. From there I moved out to Huntington Beach where I focused mainly on haircuts, highlights and color. After moving back to Riverside and finally landing in our beautiful desert I worked on a lot of wedding and special event hairstyling. I have more recently been in the resort spa environment but I always love the feeling of connecting with local people in a salon the most! My goal is to always give the absolute best service in helping my guests look and feel amazing! From a haircut that suits you just right to color that enhances your style, bringing these and other relaxing experiences to others I find to be the best job in the world!
