I want to thank Jillian for her patience, her time, and the attention she gives to every client. She helped me feel good again and delivered results far beyond what I hoped for...a truly perfect work. As someone currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer, I can only acknowledge Jillian's exceptional humanity. Her care, her gentleness, and her professionalism make all the difference. It's also worth mentioning the beautiful space where she works. The atmosphere, filled with plants and natural light, has such a positive and comforting energy. Jillian is recognized by a major cancer association and is part of their support program. For women coming through the association, she works for a reduced fee...and she never talks about it. Few people know how deeply committed she is to helping women in treatment. Thank you, Jillian, from the bottom of my heart, for giving "life" back to my eyebrows after radiation. Your work and your kindness mean more than you know. Shalom read more

Jillian is a greatly skilled artist. My eyebrows have fallen out and she has microbladed eyebrows for me. They are natural looking and match my hair color and complexion. She's kind and considerate during the procedure and the aftercare instructions and products are very helpful. read more

Jillian did a terrific job on my brows. She is very thoughtful and understanding. I had her do my brows for chemo related hair loss and they look great! read more

If you are looking to get your eyebrows microbladed, Jillian is an amazing, highly trained expert at all things microblading! She is so knowledgeable about the process of cosmetic tattoos and best practices to ensure your eyebrows turn out perfect. I had gotten my eyebrows microbladed in 2019 and they were almost fully faded. They do require any previous cosmetic tattooing to be approved by sending photos of the current state of your eyebrows to ensure they are faded enough for more pigment to be added without compromising the quality of their work and your skin--which I very much appreciated. After being approved, I booked with Jillian and I am so glad I did! She is so friendly and a true expert at her craft. She recommended a combo brow due to my original color still being slightly visible in order to blend in the new work with added brow strokes for definition. The color she chose is a perfect match for my skin tone and hair color. I am absolutely in love with my new brows and finally feel confident being able to go out without a ton of makeup on! 100% recommend booking your cosmetic tattoo here. read more

Sage Cosmetic Tattoo - Before: previous microblading from 2019 faded - Tattoo Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I live in Northern Virginia and was referred to Sage Cosmetic by a friend over a year ago. I shopped locally for a cosmetic tattoo artist, but none of the reviews I found lived up to the quality I saw on the Sage Cosmetic Instagram account. I decided to book my first appointment and travel over an hour to have Emily perform my first tattoo....combo brows! She was professional, courteous, and all around amazing to work with. I was very nervous for the appointment and she made sure I was comfortable and relaxed. After everything healed, I couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome and decided to make another appointment for lip blush and AGAIN....AMAZING! I would recommend Sage Cosmetic to anyone. read more

I had a great cosmetic tattoo experience at Sage! I had an appointment with Alyssa to get several beauty marks on my face, neck, and wrists. She was very warm and listened carefully to what I wanted, answering each of my many questions thoroughly. Beauty mark tattoos are done via stick and poke, as is the numbing agent they put in the area beforehand. She made recommendations on ink color and after making the initial ink poke she would stop, have me look in the mirror to make sure the placement was right, and then build on that to make the beauty marks fuller as I requested. My beauty marks turned out gorgeous and perfectly placed. I will definitely go back to Alyssa if they need a refresh in the coming years! read more

I got eyeliner a year ago and I'm thrilled with how it came out. It's right on my waterline and very thin and subtle, nobody can tell it's there except me. At the same time, it makes my lashes look a lot fuller, and accentuates my eyes perfectly. I would recommend Sage highly. read more

I had my eyebrows first microbladed by Emily back in August and I am completely obsessed and in love with my new brows!! I have been back to see her for more touch-ups and shading since and each time I love my brows even more! I can't stop :) Emily just started at Sage this past year and she is already soo good! I highly recommend her! She's also so easy to talk to that the appointments always seem to fly by. Make an appointment with her before her prices go up even more!! The space: it's a small little downstairs area of a rowhome but it is so cute and Jillian has decorated it perfectly! Plants everywhere! read more

Sage Cosmetic Tattoo - My brow evolution thanks to Emily! - Tattoo Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I heard about Sage from a friend. I've waited years to get my brows done but was always hesitant until I saw a friend's brows and asked where she had them done because they looked so natural. I booked my appointment immediately and I have had the same results. Jillian is an amazing artist and worked with me to figure out exactly what would look best for my face. I couldn't be happier with the results! I'd recommend her to anyone that asked. read more

Sage Cosmetic is fantastic - very professional. Emily was outstanding!!! I would highly recommend them!!! read more

Sage Cosmetic Tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Customer for life. Ample parking, you walk in, you're greeted, the energy is positive, good music playing, decorated nicely.. just a great vibe. I had an appointment for freckle tattoos. Mid life crisis? Maybe. I wasn't sure what to expect from it but I am so pleased with the results. Jillian made sure I was happy with where she placed each individual freckle and made it a painless and carefree experience. After following her aftercare instructions, she has gave me a boost of confidence helping me camouflage some places on my face that I was feeling a bit aging. I'm extremely happy with my service and will continue to keep up with them and possibly look into other cosmetic options. Thank you read more

Sage Cosmetic Tattoo - Freckles, only a few days after procedure - Tattoo Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I booked an appointment with Jillian for combination (Microblading and powder) brows. Before arrival, Sage was incredibly thorough and made sure I was fully prepared. Upon arrival, Jillian was incredibly friendly and expertly shaped my brows and found the right color for me! I love my new brows! read more

Sage Cosmetic Tattoo - Lip Blushing/ Lip neutralization done by Jillian - Tattoo Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

After doing a lot of research, I picked Sage because they had an extensive portfolio with amazing work and excellent COVID policies. When I arrived, I filled out all my paperwork and got my numbing cream. When I walked into the studio, it was so cute and calming and most importantly sanitary! Emily did combination brows for me. She drew them out and let me see if I liked them. When we decided they were right, she got to work. Emily was so fun to talk to, and paired the the very minimal pain, I almost forgot why I was there in the first place! But when she finished, I got to see my new brows and I was blown away. The quality of her work is amazing! She introduced all the post care steps and we scheduled my touch up appointment. Highly recommend! read more

Sage is simply the best in the biz. Jillian is a true artist, but one that listens to your input and then gives her expert advice to help create the perfect look. I had a sad eyebrow-less life before getting them microbladed January 2021 (why did no one take the tweezers away from early 2000's me? yikes.) and they look as good as the day Jillian worked her magic. I've since visited their beautiful shop in Hampden to get my perfect brows laminated and tinted. Alyssa was so fun to hang with for :45 and did such an amazing job that I've already made my next appointment. If you're considering cosmetic tattooing, Sage is the only place to go. It's a tattoo on your face! Be thoughtful about your decision and go to Sage-- you won't regret it. (Added bonus, the new shop is truly just cool chill vibes and you'll walk away feeling cool as hell just by association.) read more

Alyssa and Emily did my procedures: winged eyeliner, lip blushing, and freckle tattoos! All are about 4 months old now, and I'm absolutely thrilled with the results! The extra color pops and gives more glamour while still looking natural. I recommend their work whole-heartedly, and will be returning for any future touch-ups :) read more

My initial appointment with Jillian was great but my brows have since faded substantially and so I was looking forward to my follow up appointment. Unfortunately my job (I am in the medical field) pulled me to cover a day that was short staffed. I originally reached out via the website to reschedule but when I didn't hear back I then reached out via their Instagram page. Turns out their first reply ended up in my junk folder - long story short I'm being asked to repay the $150 deposit for asking to reschedule less than 72 hours before my original appointment. While I understand said policy is to protect these time slots and prevent lost revenue it's extremely frustrating for someone who sometimes has little control over their own schedule and works extremely hard to make a living. I've now paid $660 for brows that don't really look any different than before. read more

I can't recommend Sage enough!! Walking into this shop feels so positive and welcoming. The team at Sage is like the cool-girl cosmetic tattoo gang who are there to make you feel comfortable, support each other, and above all, do an amazing job on your brows (or whatever service you're having done). They're extremely consultative and take pride in giving you exactly what you're looking for (which is so important because this is a semi-permanent process!). My soft combo brows were done by Najah Ray and almost a week later, they're healing beautifully. Thank you to Najah and the entire Sage team!! read more

I had lashline enhancement with Alyssa, who is not only darling, but very skilled. Looks natural, looks great. I had to go into Sephora and I gave the Sage website to the woman who was helping me after she took a clkose look at my eyeliner. Another convert! read more

The Sage Cosmetics crew is awesome! Their office is warm and inviting, clean and organized! I felt very comfortable immediately! Emily was very knowledgeable and professional! She was efficient and took her time to explain everything she was doing! I loved it here and my brows! Well done and I'll definitely be recommending them to anyone interested in permanent makeup! read more

I was hesitant to get my Brows done.. The ones I saw were so fake looking, they didn't seem natural. When a friend told me hers were micro-bladed and shaded, I was intrigued. They were so beautiful! I made an appointment with Emily and I love, love, love them!! Not only do I never need to pencil in my brows, but they are so natural looking, no one has even noticed they are "done", even my very observant daughter... Can use sunscreen and moisturizer more often as I'm not worried about wiping my Brows away! Haha read more

Emily was wonderful! Very knowledgeable and an exceptional artist. Her work is beautiful & she was very calming and professional with a kind heart. My experience was terrific! Highly recommend!!! read more

I absolutely enjoy going to Sage, in general. The vibe, energy, and friendliness of both Jillian and Emily are so refreshing and awesome to be around. I've had my initial microblading, second appointment, and annual retouch with Emily and absolutely love my brows. I can tell they both take their work seriously, take into account what the client's preferences are, and general advice. I love supporting their business all around. During this time, of COVID, I felt extremely safe and they take all precautions and very seriously. Thank you, Emily for my beautiful brows and to both of you guys for this awesome business! :) read more

Very happy with my lash lift. Friendly atmosphere. I am happy with results. I would highly recommend.

I did my research for a few months and all signs pointed to Sage. Emily was my artist for my requested brow work. I found her very talented and patient. Location is in a cute part of Baltimore. Lovely studio with great music. ProfessIonal every step of the way. Felt like I was at a home away from home with fast friends. If this is the kind of top notch cosmetic experience you are looking for. Look no more, it is All here!! read more

Jillian is amazing. She does SUCH amazing work. I have nothing but great things to say. My eyesbrow's look amazing.

I love my eyebrows from Jilly! I did not realize how much getting my eyebrows tattooed would change my life! I stopped wearing makeup altogether because I looked so much better. I save time in the morning and recently spent 8 days in Costa Rica with beautiful eyebrows in every water picture! Sage salon is gorgeous inside also- which helps for relaxing before the treatment. Jilly talked me through the process so I knew exactly what to expect. It was not as painful as I thought, either. read more

Sage Cosmetic Tattoo - Beach brows! After touch up and loottttttsss of sun and swimming. (Post healing time of course) - Tattoo Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I had been sluggishly browsing for a micro blade aesthetician that was priced fairly and incredibly meticulous with their work. In Baltimore it's hard to find. I finally found Jillian at Sage Cosmetic Tattoo through a friend who had her brows done by Jillian a few years ago. Not only is her shop in a great location and very clean and stylish, she is just a warm radiating presence and made me feel so comfortable the entire session. She educated me about every step of the process and included me fully in the decision about how my brows would like. The outcome is nothing short of perfection and I can't wait to see the final result! I will never go to anyone else. Picture below is 3 days post initial session. She also takes covid precautions VERY seriously and again, this left me feeling safe and like my health was a priority to her. Looking forward to seeing her again for my follow up session in 8 weeks! read more

Sage Cosmetic Tattoo - Micro bladed brows - Tattoo Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Best in the biz. I have gotten many services done here and always have people asking me about my brows! Jillian has really helped elevate my day to day look by giving me my eyebrows back! read more

Emily did my brows and did an amazing job! They looked amazing after the first session, and now after the second session they are perfection. I work at a hospital and many of my coworkers have gone and seen multiple artists at Sage Cosmetic, and they all do stellar work! I would highly recommend going if you're considering it! read more

Emily did such a fabulous job on my brows! I couldn't be happier. This was my first procedure of the sort, so I was very nervous. She did a great job explaining the whole process, talking me through it and making me feel comfortable. She checked in with me throughout, to make sure I wasn't feeling any pain (I wasn't!) and was super professional. The studio was so cute, clean, and felt very safe! I'm so happy and have raved about the experience already to friends. Highly recommend! These ladies are true artists! read more

I would like to have a negative category for this experience. I made an appt for a lip tattoo. a while later, I got an email from the cosmetician telling me that she couldn't do that date and could we reschedule. we had a nice exchange and some trouble arranging a date. There are not a lot of openings because I believe the process is time consuming. I asked if flying the next day was a problem because if it was, id plan around an upcoming trip. I also asked, when I found out how far in advance I would be rescheduling, if there was someone else I should use. In the end we picked a date that seemed to work. about 10 days later I got an email asking me to send pictures of my lips because they had some complaints lately and wanted to be sure that I was a good candidate for the procedure. I sent the pictures as requested, and asked what they were looking for. a week later I got an email saying that since I wanted another technician I was clearly not a good candidate because I was unhappy with my technician. Therefore, they were cancelling my appt and I should find another salon. I have been purchasing services for more years than I care to remember. I am very loyal to the people who service me. I have stuck with my mani/pedi technician through four moves. Now I have a half hour commute instead of 5 minutes. But I consider her a friend. The same with hair, face etc. So to be rejected before I even had an appt? I have zero clue what this is about. I guess the technician I signed up for was insecure about me asking if I should find someone else there. I dont know any of them so. it was clearly not a personal slight. It was a request to help with the re-booking. And in the end we picked a date and were all set. And I sent the pictures as requested. So I have to say this is the most unprofessional experience of my consumer life! I have asked to speak to the owner, because I have owned a business in the past and would have been appalled by this customer service. I have never heard back. read more

Jillian is an arTIST. She is incredibly talented and makes you feel totally at ease with what can be a scary process, if you're an eyebrow obsessed woman like most of us are these days. I didn't give her much to work with in terms of natural brows, and had had questionable microblading before coming to her. She's crushed my brows every single time and completely transformed my look. I get compliments all the time on my bomb brows and most people don't even realize they're microbladed - that's how good they look. I am the first to say "thanks, they're microbladed!!!" and refer Jillian to anyone that will listen. Worth every penny. read more

This place is so great! First off, very COVID friendly, they make you wait in car and fill out paperwork & apply the lidocaine (which worked really well) for 30 mins. I appreciate this safety measure. Then Emily discussed my brows in detail and we finally decided what to do after me going back and forth. She was very patient and has a great personality. It was all smooth and pretty painless! They look great and I can't wait to see the end result. They go over post op instructions verbally & it's written. Going back for touch up & my eyelashes with Emily! CANNOT WAIT! read more

Always so happy with my results from Sage! i first went two years ago to microbladed my eyebrows. The results were amazing. Emily is fantastic, she really listens to what your looking for and takes her time. I recently went back for a lip blush and I'm obsessed. The color is perfect! I can't wait to go back for my touch up! read more

If you are considering microblading, Sage is the only place to go! Jillian is extremely talented in her art and clearly an expert in the field. She is patient, collaborative and so warm. I had my brows microbladed first and then with a recommendation by Jillian, I did a third session for a powder brow since my brows are naturally lighter. I am so pleased with my finished brows and my new look, thank you so much Jillian! You are amazing! read more

My brows look incredible thanks to Sage Cosmetic Tattoo! I highly recommend them!!!

Jillian was great! She did an amazing job on my brows. I have a small face and the style she chose was perfect! The color is very nice and I couldn't be more pleased with the results! Highly recommend Sage Cosmetic Tattoo and Jillian, specifically! read more

Jillian did a wonderful job on my combo brows! She is informative and sweet. She even remembered little details about my life and we had good conversation during my second session! I was surprised she remembered! Her detailed work is absolutely phenomenal!! Definitely worth the price! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Jillian and my experience at her Sage Cosmetic Tattoo studio! Her studio space is extremely clean and beautifully decorated. Parking is available as well, which is a BIG BONUS in the Mount Vernon neighborhood of Baltimore City. This was my first experience with microblading/tattoos of any kind, so I wasn't certain what to expect process and healing-wise. Jillian and I did a consultation over the phone and she walked me through everything and answered all of my questions. She's quite knowledgeable and VERY talented. She actually has a pretty impressive art degree, which I honestly think influences her ability to work with the structures and varying levels of symmetry on the face to arrive at a brow shape that really works for you. During my first session, Jillian took the time to map out my face and sketch out every detail of my eyebrows until we both felt the shape was perfect. For those of you worried about pain, Jillian slathers numbing jelly and waits a bit for it to actually take effect before starting the procedure. I felt absolutely no pain or discomfort whatsoever. She also goes over the healing process with you in detail. I'm glad I listened well to her instructions for healing because I actually had great color retention from my 1st session. By my 2nd session, Jillian was mostly just perfecting the shape and adding little details here and there, stopping along the way to let me have input on what else I wanted to tweak. My main goal of microblading was to have to use ZERO brow makeup...And I haven't been using any at all - NONE. Something that was pretty important to me was to be properly color-matched with ink. I have naturally black hair and eyebrows. Anyone who also has naturally black hair knows it's pretty much impossible to find the right color for brow makeup that's not too brown/not too gray/not too black. Jillian mixed up the perfect color combo for me that really blends in well with my actual eyebrow hair without looking drastic. Lastly, Jillian is great company; it's hard for me to believe that I've only known her since my 1st appointment in June 2017...When I talk to her I feel like I'm talking to a friend I've known forever! I highly recommend her to anyone looking into microblading for the first time - Her work speaks for itself! Check out her Instagram @sagecosmetictattoo read more
