Leia Love Salon

Akron, Ohio – In the heart of Akron, a specialized areola tattooing salon is offering more than cosmetic enhancement. Owner, Leia’, is providing restorative areola tattoo services for breast cancer survivors seeking confidence, closure, and healing after surgery.

Leia’s salon focuses on professional 3D areola tattooing, also known as Nipple Areolar Complex (NAC) Tattooing, a highly specialized permanent cosmetic procedure designed for individuals who have undergone mastectomies or breast reconstruction.

Her journey into the field began during her father’s cancer battle, when she created a vision board that unknowingly pointed toward restorative tattoo work. Years later, after completing advanced permanent cosmetics training, she rediscovered that vision and recognized her calling.

“This work is transformational,” Leia’ says. “For many clients, it’s the final step in feeling whole again.”

Comprehensive Client Experience

Leia’s salon prioritizes safety and sanitation, particularly for immunocompromised clients recovering from cancer treatment. Beyond clinical precision, the studio offers a calming environment that includes light therapy and journaling prior to the procedure, creating a restorative experience rather than a transactional appointment.

The business has earned over 100 five-star Google reviews, reinforcing its reputation as a trusted beauty provider.  While many clients leave public reviews, Leia’ also honors private feedback from individuals who prefer discretion.

Serving the Community

In addition to serving private clients, Leia’ provides free/discounted areola tattoo services through the salon’s partner nonprofit program, Spark Beauty Fund, supporting underserved communities. The salon accepts insurance where applicable and offers grant-based assistance to ensure restorative tattooing remains accessible.

The business also offers monthly specials, which are promoted through social media channels.

Leia’ is actively involved in the Summit County Black Chamber of Commerce and volunteers with Stewart’s Caring Place, a nonprofit supporting individuals impacted by cancer.

Professional Credentials

Leia’ maintains ongoing education in permanent cosmetics and is affiliated with the Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals. Her expertise spans cosmetic eyebrow tattooing and advanced areola restoration techniques, positioning her as a leading provider of areola tattooing in Fairlawn and the greater Summit County area.
