MEET THE TEAM
Katie Harper
Hey! I'm Katie - stylist, nail artist, and owner at Sage hair. I specialize in custom-blended hair color and love haircutting to work with your hair type, face shape, and lifestyle. I absolutely adore doing precision manicures and hand-painted nail art as well. I'd love to be your new hairstylist and nail artist!
I grew up in Maryland along with my nine siblings and eleven cousins. I always had someone to try my styling skills on, which means I've been doing hair for much longer than I've actually known how. But even though I've been doing hair since I was a kid, I didn't always know what I wanted to do. I thought for a long time about being a music teacher, a professor, or a mental health therapist. The beauty industry and business always interested me too, but everything didn't click into place until I opened Sage in 2018. I've totally found my passion. My favorite things about what I do? Great conversations, one-on-one time with my amazing clients, getting to be artistic, and the freedom and challenges that come from business ownership!
When I'm not behind the chair, you can find me planning my next travel adventure, at the gym, painting, or spending time with my busy five-year-old. Can't wait to get to know you too!

HAIR & NAILS
Lindsey Ames
Hey, I'm Lindsey! I specialize in blonding, texturized haircutting, and color corrections. I absolutely love a good hair challenge and I am always ready for anything. I joined Katie at Sage in the fall of 2019, and it's my home away from home.
I graduated from The Avada Institute of Columbus in 2018. Throughout my schooling, I gained experience by working alongside my instructors doing fashion shows for the Columbus College of Art & Design, working behind the scenes on WOSU TV, and I received the 2018 Pro Beauty Association Beacon Honorable Mention award as a student stylist. In the fall of 2018, I was showcased as a RAW artist in an organization based out of LA, CA.
In my free time, you can catch me out in my garden, cooking up a good dish, or spending time with my fur babies!

Emma Hicks
Hey, I’m Emma! For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to do nails. Nothing makes me happier than being able to create something that makes women feel empowered, beautiful, and confident- and that is always my goal with your nails! Here at Sage, I offer specialized Luminary Gel Services for natural nails.
I have been running a small art business since I was 18 years old, and have art in homes as far as California! I love learning and make it a priority to have the best understanding of my products so I can give the best experience possible. My expertise in art is something that very much translates into how I do nails: so if you want nail art, I’m your girl!
In my free time, you can find me playing with my labradoodle Archie, painting, playing instruments, being with family, or trying a new coffee flavor!

how sage began
Early in 2018, I noticed a diamond-in-the-rough space only a block from Downtown New Philadelphia. I immediately had a vision for a little three-chair salon with a fresh, natural, and comfortable vibe. With help from family and friends, (and with a newborn) my amazing husband, Andrew and I renovated this space into a bright and cozy "shop-around-the corner". It's a place where you can step away from the hustle to treat yourself, and leave feeling refreshed and ready to face the world!
