Shannon is the definition of an artist!! Her vision comes alive through her services and she is as humble as she is talented! I cannot recommend The Housley Institute enough! Every time I visit, I leave feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and at peace! It truly is one of my happy places! You will not regret booking any service with any of the talented women at The Housley Institute, I wish I could give more than 5 stars! :)

I am still in awe of the beauty of the space, the skill of the staff, and the results. As a breast cancer survivor, I wanted to look as normal as possible after reconstruction. My very particular plastic surgeon recommended the Housley Institute for areola tattooing and now I see why. Shannon is an artist as well as a paramedical professional. She spent a lot of time getting the color just right and was great about explaining everything to this tattoo novice. I cannot recommend Housley Institute enough. 10 stars!!!

Received permanent eyeliner. Shannon was meticulous and the procedure was so simple. I chose to use Housley Institute due to personal references and researching available options and Housley Institute had the best reviews by far. I’m addition, the work this business does to help people heal from scars is most admirable.

While I am over-the-top thrilled with my reconstructed breasts in clothes, I couldn’t help but only see ciabatta-shaped mounds with 3 nasty scars unclothed. Having the nipples tattooed makes me feel whole again. As I step out of the shower daily and glance in the large mirror, I only see me- in my journey to be better than before breast cancer. The scars are still there, but with this beautiful “allusion of protrusion,” I don’t see them anymore. Also important to note is the welcoming environment of Housley along with Shannon’s friendly and knowledgeable demeanor. While I would prefer to never have needed her, she’s been added to my list of unexpected blessings on this journey.

Absolutely love my new brows. My brows never fully grew back after years of chemo treatments for Stage IV Breast Cancer. Shannon was the best, very personable and kind. The procedure was painless. My brows look better than they ever have. My husband loves them. ABSOLUTELY recommend Housley Institute. Five stars ⭐️ for sure.

I’ve gotten both eyelash enhancement with Nikki and powder brow application with MacKenzie done at Housley Institute. They are so professional and nice. The place is clean and cute inside. They do a great job of explaining every step and making sure you are comfortable throughout the process. A touch up appointment is included. I’ve loved my final results!
