I went to Sarah for microblading of my aging thinning sparse eyebrows. I am a person who never uses any kind of make-up do to my fast-paced, active lifestyle, so doing something semi-permanent makes a lot of sense to me. This was my first time tattoo experience. I am incredibly pleased with Sarah and my new eyebrows. First, Sarah is a superb communicator and a genuine listener. Her warm spirit made it easy for me to express all my concerns and ask all my many questions and get the answers. There was no rushed feeling, and Sarah said she never schedules clients on top of each other, so I could talk it through as much as I wanted. I wasn't sure about what style/shape exactly I wanted, other than that I wanted it to come out very natural. Sarah guided me through my ideas and eventually drew it out on my face and let me look at it. I then was able to make a minor adjustment before the final procedure. I was surprised how little discomfort I felt during the actual microblading. And it's been five days and I am equally surprised how easy the aftercare and healing process is. My eyebrows look the best they ever have in my life! Sarah is an incredible artist, she designed the best shape for my face, mixing the closest to natural color, and yet stayed so close to my natural brows that nobody would ever know it's a tattoo. Her way of microblading is super skilled yet gentle. I'm looking forward to my 6 week-touch up, the normal final step for eyebrow tattooing, where I know I have some options to even integrate some powder technique if I wanted to. read more

Incredible artistry and patience and skill. This is a beautiful studio and Sarah is a beautiful, caring person. Highly recommend!!

Years after having chemo my eyebrows were sparse and had no definition. I would pencil them in but if I followed the hairline of the few hairs that remained then each side was a different shape. Sarah was able to transform my eyebrows into very natural looking ones and the results were amazing. She is a true artist, warm and friendly. Highly recommend! read more

I was introduced to Sarah's work a few years back when a friend of mine posted her eyebrow microblade before/after on Instagram. They looked so amazing and natural, I couldn't believe they were cosmetic tattoos! I've always had very patchy, sparsey eyebrows and over-plucked as a tween so was always really embarrassed of my eyebrows. I went to see Sarah, a little scared of the procedure seeing as it was semi-permanent work - on my face no less. But Sarah immediately put me right at ease with her professionalism & expertise. Her previous work on her Instagram feed only reassured my hesitation, every hair stroke looked so real, so natural. I made an appointment and the rest is history, 3 years later and I still get compliments on my eyebrows! ME? The girl who was so ashamed of her brows for decades prior. I get annual touch-ups to keep everything looking refreshed and Sarah continues to impress with her raw talent and ability to listen to her client's needs and frame their face accordingly. One of the best decisions I ever made. If you are on the fence about getting microblading done, take the leap of faith with SL Cosmetic Tattoo. You won't be disappointed. read more

Sarah is amazing at what she does! She combines both beauty and art to create an eyebrow masterpiece. I heard of microblading before but was new to the whole experience. She helped guide me through the process, pick the right shape and color and made sure I was doing okay throughout both my initial appointment as well as my follow up one (I kept sneezing lol)! They turned out great, I'm beyond happy with the results as well as her personable attitude and professionalism. I recommend her to anyone and everyone! I cant wait to see the new studio Sarah, congrats on your growing empire and killer insta account!! read more

I can't say enough amazing things about Sarah and her talent! I heard great things about her so I was so excited to become a client. I received microblading and she did a phenomenal job! My brows look perfect and I still can't believe they're mine. I'm a natural blonde so it's extra scary getting micr blading done as I didn't want it to look unnatural but she nailed it. Her studio is so cozy and there's plenty of 2 hour parking around in the neighborhood. read more

Sarah is an eyebrow genius! She knew exactly what my brows needed to compliment my face shape, while still looking completely natural. It's amazing what a little fullness and shape can do. She also spent time explaining what she planned to do, making sure I was comfortable with everything. Thank you Sarah for giving my face a fresh new look! You're the best. read more

There are really no words to describe how amazing Sarah is. She's sweet, personable, has incredible attention to detail and does incredible work. She makes you feel comfortable and welcome. She's thorough in explaining the process & after care instructions, tells you exactly what she's doing and when, and is so gentle throughout the way.

Sarah at SL Cosmetic Tattoo is A+. She is very patient and professional. I was nervous about the pain and the outcome of my eyebrows. Sarah explained the whole process and provided me with answers to all my questions. I was very comfortable and Sarah made sure I was comfortable. She did an amazing job. The process took about an hour and one-half. My eyebrows look natural. Great shape and color. I highly recommend Sarah for her eyebrow magic!!! read more

I didn't know what microblading was until I noticed friends who have natural, flawless brows even after an intense workout. Not just the aesthetic bonus, I also discovered time saving in getting my brows microbladed! In my morning ritual of putting on make up drawing brows and regular tweezing I sometimes overly correct or obsessively shape. Sarah was meticulous in matching color and assessing a few areas of my brows to even out the arches and the length. Now I don't obsess over the maintenance, just quick tweeze outside the microbladed area, and I don't even need my brow pencil anymore in the morning!!! Her studio is so inviting, and the process is fast and fun, with music and great conversation. Love my new brows and a new found confidence! read more

My generation over-plucked our brows. Thank goodness I have Sarah! She brought my brows back to life. Not only do they look amazing, but they look like this every day!! I don't have to pencil them in anymore. The process is quick and Sarah is awesome. Thank you so much for giving me both confidence and less work in the mornings! :) read more

Sarah is AMAZING!!! I was pretty nervous to microblade my eyebrows because, well, it's my face ha, but once I met Sarah (and saw her eyebrows she does herself, that are perfect) I was put at ease. She went over the whole process with me and explained what to expect. She first draws on what your eyebrows will look like and asks if there are any revisions you want to make before starting the microblading. I really wish I had done this sooner because my eyes look SO much better after doing my eyebrows, and I no longer look like I have droopy eyelids. I've always hated my eyebrows and now I'm obsessed with them! I can't say enough good things about Sarah, I highly highly recommend her! read more

Had my brows done with Sarah on Monday, and she could not have been sweeter! Her artistry is top notch and the whole procedure was painless, and dare I say... relaxing! I'm looking forward to my perfection session, as the first session is healing up perfectly. read more

I had been hearing about microblading and was convinced after seeing Sarah's work done on a colleague and was eager to have it done as well. The cost is well worth it considering the time that it saves as I no longer have to fill in my brows. Sarah is a pro! She puts you at ease and talks you through the process, and is the ultimate professional. She really made all my concerns go away and was patient through the entire process and my million questions. She blends her own color to match the natural hair and skin color and I was very happy with the results and would not consider going any place else. Why didn't i do this sooner?! read more

I love love love my brows.. Sarah did an amazing job and was super professional. They healed and matched perfectly. Wood highly recommend her to anyone, family or friends. read more

Sarah did an amazing job on my eyebrows! She's kind, extremely knowledgeable, professional and has a true artistic talent. I had shapeless, faded, tattooed brows. Sarah recommended shadowing.

Sarah is the best! She's growing her amazing business super fast for a reason. She's very knowledgeable and professional while keeping a very comfortable atmosphere during the entire session. For someone who had never had a procedure like this, it was comforting having her ease my stresses. You gotta see her! read more

Sarah Lemke is the eyebrow QUEEN! I couldn't be happier with my brows. I was afraid to do microblading but I really wanted to for years. I'm very fair skinned and my natural eyebrow hair is very light and thin / patchy (I plucked way too much in middle school and high school like a lot of millenials). I always felt like I looked like a freak unless I drew on my brows with eyeshadow. Day after day, year after year, that was getting really old! I was referred to Sarah by a friend from work. Sarah made me feel very comfortable on my first visit. She is super sweet, friendly and easy to talk to, plus very professional. Her studio is clean, comfortable, and stylishly decorated. She showed me the needles as she opened them so I could see that everything was new and sterile, which was nice for peace of mind. She also explained everything she was doing throughout the process which I also appreciated. After my first session, I loved the shape of my brows. I realized at that point I had been drawing them on asymmetrically for years! I was stoked at the initial results. However, after they healed I realized I was hoping for a more dramatic difference from my natural look. I explained this to Sarah, so at my 6 week follow up session, she went thicker, darker, and more filled in/shaded. It made a world of difference! My new microbladed brows look like how I did my makeup, except even better because it looks like natural hairstrokes instead of just completely filled in solid. I can't believe I get to wake up every day with gorgeous brows and zero maintenance. They look gorgeous and this will save me so much time. I especially cant wait to go to the gym or hiking with my boyfriend without my brows sweating off! I highly recommend Sarah and am excited to refer her to my friends. Thanks for being awesome, lady!! read more

This was my second microblading experience. Fortunately my first experience was a great one but I flew all the way out to Vancouver to have them done. Not really thinking it was going to be difficult to get back out there for the touch up, a year passed and I really needed them filled. I did lots of research and was waiting to find the right person. A friend recommended Sarah and I am SO glad she did. Sarah is sweet, professional, and really listened. Her space is adorable and she made me feel super comfortable and welcome. I absolutely LOVE my brows and would highly recommend her. She is worth every penny. Wish I had found her sooner!!! read more

If you have been considering microblading for years like I was pull the trigger and call Sarah! I have really sparse eyebrows and Sarah took the time to design the shape for my face and discuss it with me before proceeding since I wanted to keep it natural. She also meticulously tests the colors to determine what would be best. Some microblade artists have a signature eyebrow look which I didn't want, Sarah is more focused on creating the eyebrow you want which compliments your face. She's so caring and gentle, always making sure you're comfortable, and she's just a great to be around! You will leave there loving your new brows and wishing you had another excuse to hang out with her. :) read more

Sarah brought my brows to life!! My sister recommended for me to see her but I came in unsure of what I was wanting for my eyebrows exactly. Sarah talked me through the tattoo process and made me super comfortable. The end results were amazing!! My eyebrows are blonde and usually disappear but Sarah was able to make them look so full and natural. Sarah is such a great artist and I can't wait to continue coming back to her. She is super sweet, personable, and professional and knows what she is doing! If you are ever considering eyebrow tattooing, you must go to Sarah. Plus she has a super soft and comfy blanket on the bed she has you lie on :) read more

Sarah is AMAZING! I was skeptical about having my eye brows micro-bladed but finally decided to give it a go and I couldn't be happier.

I didn't really know what microblading was exactly but my girlfriend's eyebrows looked so natural and perfect I wanted to try it! My eyebrows suffered my high school years of over plucking and were now so non existent I had to fill them in everyday and I never knew how to shape them etc. so I bought what the heck I'll do it and Sarah was highly recommended. As soon as I walked in I felt totally comfortable! Sarah was warm and you immediately want to chat and be friends with her! She made me feel so comfortable! She mapped out my eyebrows first and showed me what she was going to do. Sarah is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what she does! She truly enjoys her work, the results show!!!!

Sarah put all of my microblading concerns at ease with her sweet, professional, and knowledgeable attitude. I had completely given up on my brows, but now I have the natural looking brows I've always wanted! If you want that too, go see Sarah! read more

If I could give Sarah 10 stars I would. Sarah is an artist and incredibly talented with her work. I had never done micro-blading before but have been interested in it for the last few years, I'm blonde and have been tinting my eyebrows for 5 years, I was over tinting to say the least. I didn't want to go to just anyone, so I did my research and luckily found Sarah. She made sure I was 100% comfortable, and we spoke about shape and color before hand, she knew exactly what I wanted. I literally walked out of the appointment with amazing brows, very natural looking and the perfect shape and color! I've since been back for my touch up and now 5 months later my eyebrows are still on point! I've since recommended Sarah to my mom- and she too now has incredible brows! We're both super happy! read more

Here's how much I loved the work Sarah did on my brows: I decided to have her do my lips as well! Before meeting Sarah and seeing her work, I would have never dreamed of permanently tinting my lips, but I could not be happier. Sarah is meticulous, caring, and so talented. She took the time with each of my services to really understand what I was looking for and to make sure that she used a color and technique that would deliver. And she surpassed all my expectations! I will be a lifetime client of Sarah's without a doubt. read more
