Draga Laboratories
Draga Laboratories, LLC formerly Known as The Agard Group, Inc., was founded in 1992 by the
late James Agard and his wife Gwendolyn Agard. Their legacy continues through the
leadership of their daughter Angela, a gifted cosmetologist. Angela has been in the beauty and
hair care industry since the age of five. She followed in her mother’s footsteps with a degree in
Cosmetology and Business Administration. She worked alongside her mother Gwendolyn at
Chez Gwen’s Hair Salon and later owned and operated her own Salon/Spa, “The Hair Spa”, an
upscale hair salon in Jefferson, Georgia. Agard’s son-in-law, Rafe is a renowned engineer,
physicists and author in his own right and has held positions at NASA (Jet Propulsion Lab)
Pasadena, California, United Technology, Sperry Corp, Long Island, New York and Motorola,

do they have quality experience, but what makes this couple unique is Angela’s knowledge of
the hair and skin care business and Rafe’s knowledge of chemistry, physics and manufacturing
engineering. Together with their talented staff of professionals they were able to expand Draga
Laboratories into national and international markets.
