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. It's why I love my job so much. Everyone leaves happy when they get henna with Island Girl. Make your event extra special with henna adornment. Your guests will talk about it for years to come!
Henna is perfect for adults and young adults (not for children under eight years old).
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!
Henna body adornment was introduced to my ancestral homeland a thousand years ago and I've had training from world-renown artists in a variety of cultural styles (Indian, Warli, Arabic, Khaleeji/ Gulf, Moroccan, etc.).
You'll love our clean and well-organized henna booth with straight floor-length fabric table covers. We offer either a sleek modern look (white tent with dark Moroccan orange table covers) or an extravagantly draped tent (as seen in photo). Included amenities: fresh organic henna and relevant materials, professional application service, design portfolio, line control, aftercare instructions and a pleasant personality with a smile!
Tell me your story... how you met, your history and your new life together. I'm eager to listen and work with you to create gorgeous designs that really resonate with you as a couple.
Do you want specific design components in a particular style? What about dates, symbols, a hidden name? Does your significant other want mehndi too? I've done all of that so let's chat... I'm happy to work with brides & grooms, brides & brides, grooms & grooms.
