Cruelty Free
At SAP Salon 614, we’ve always believed that beauty shouldn’t have a hidden cost. For us, true beauty is a harmony of stunning style, healthy hair, and a clear conscience. It’s about feeling incredible inside and out.
That’s why we are bursting with pride to announce a milestone that reflects our deepest values: SAP Salon 614 is now an officially Leaping Bunny approved cruelty-free salon!
This isn’t just a badge on our window; it’s a promise to you, our community, and a commitment to a more compassionate world.
What Does Leaping Bunny Certified Actually Mean?
You may have seen the Leaping Bunny logo on your favorite skincare products, but what does it mean for a salon to be certified?
The Leaping Bunny Program, administered by the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics (CCIC), is the internationally recognized gold standard for cruelty-free certification. For a business to earn this certification, it must undergo a rigorous audit and commit to a strict pledge:
-
No Animal Testing: We do not and will not test any products or ingredients on animals at any stage of development.
-
Supply Chain Monitoring: Our certification requires that our entire supply chain—from the brands we source to their ingredient suppliers—also verifies they do not conduct or commission animal testing.
-
Ongoing Commitment: This is not a one-time claim. We are subject to ongoing independent audits to ensure we maintain these standards, and we will be recommitting to this pledge annually.
In a world where marketing terms like “cruelty-free” can be used loosely, the Leaping Bunny logo is your guarantee. It’s a verified, standardized promise you can trust.
Why This Matters: More Than Just a Label
Our decision to pursue this certification was driven by our core philosophy and the values we share with our clients.
For the Animals:
This is the heart of the matter. Choosing cruelty-free means choosing innovation and compassion over outdated and unnecessary practices. It’s a stand against animal suffering, ensuring no creature pays the price for beauty.
For Your Health & Well-being:
The brands that are committed to being cruelty-free are often the same pioneers in using cleaner, more ethically sourced, and high-quality ingredients. When you sit in our chair, you can relax knowing that the products we use on your hair and scalp are not only effective but also aligned with a healthier, more conscious approach to beauty.
For Our Community:
We are a salon rooted in the vibrant community of Columbus, Ohio. We listen to you, and we’ve heard a growing desire for more transparent, ethical choices. By becoming Leaping Bunny certified, we are actively shaping the kind of beauty industry we want to be a part of—one that is kind, progressive, and responsible.
Our Journey to Certification: A Labor of Love
Achieving Leaping Bunny certification was a detailed and meticulous process. It involved:
-
A Deep Dive into Our Inventory: We scrutinized every single product on our shelves—from color and lighteners to shampoos, conditioners, and styling products.
-
Vetting Our Brand Partners: We worked directly with our trusted brand partners to obtain their Leaping Bunny certifications and confirm their supply chain compliance.
-
Implementing a New Standard: We’ve officially integrated our cruelty-free commitment into our purchasing policy, ensuring that every new product we bring into SAP Salon 614 meets this ethical benchmark.
This journey has reinforced our relationships with brands that share our values and has allowed us to curate a product menu we are truly, and completely, proud of.
