At Verde Outdoor, we believe in the power of small businesses to bring life and character to our communities. Through our Community Connections Campaign, we’re partnering with Iowa’s West Coast Initiative to celebrate and amplify the incredible stories of local entrepreneurs who shape our neighborhoods across the Midwest.
This month, we’re thrilled to feature Artifex Haus, a creative salon suite and boutique that has become a hub for beauty professionals and artists in Sioux City.
Spotlight on Artifex Haus
Artifex Haus is more than just a salon suite—it’s a vibrant community of beauty industry professionals and artists. Located on the 10th floor of the Ho-Chunk Center, the space offers stunning views of downtown Sioux City and the Missouri River, creating an inspiring environment for its tenants.
Owned and operated by Rosangela and Mario Ramirez, Artifex Haus provides uniquely designed suites tailored to the needs of its tenants, who offer services ranging from hair styling and barbering to tattoos, permanent makeup, nails, and more. The space is also home to Amareda, a women’s boutique, and Art by Jazz, further showcasing the creativity housed within this community-focused business.
What drives them each day? "I started as a permanent makeup artist, and as we grew, I craved a bigger challenge. My husband encouraged me to take the leap into creating Artifex Haus, and every day I’m driven by my family and my love for creativity. Seeing our tenants thrive is what keeps me motivated."
Why is it important for the community to support small businesses? "Supporting small businesses gives a city its character. Every visit, share, and referral directly supports someone’s dream. When the community invests in us, we reinvest in the community, whether through events, sponsorships, or simply creating spaces that bring people together."
