Hear your guests' excitement... "Ooo, they're doing henna here?!" and "Let's get some henna!" Seeing their eyes light up and to watch their smile grow until they're radiating is a joyful blessing.

Are you looking for a henna/ mehndi artist that knows what she's doing and cares about what you want? You've come to the right place!

We supply a sleek, clean henna booth set up with floor-length table covers, fresh organic henna and relevant materials, professional application service, design portfolios, line control, aftercare instructions... and a pleasant personality with a smile!
