Henna at Your Party
WHY HAVE Island Girl AT YOUR EVENT?
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. Guests talk about it for years to come!
If you're looking for a henna artist that knows what she's doing and cares about what you want, you've come to the right place! Henna was introduced to my ancestral homeland over a thousand years ago and I've trained with world-renown artists in a variety of other cultural styles like Indian, Warli, Arabic, Khaleeji/ Gulf & Moroccan.
Henna is perfect for adults and young adults (not for children under eight years old).
Services
Henna application service: Amenities include fresh organic henna and relevant materials, professional application service, design portfolio, line control, aftercare instructions and a pleasant personality with a smile!
Add a henna talk to the henna application service: An additional 15-20 min. presentation discussing what henna is, its history, henna safety and Q&A session followed by the professional henna application service for you and your guests as described above. Please note: I don't teach how to do henna nor do I sell my henna paste.
Henna Tent: For outdoor events you'll love our clean and well-organized henna tent 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).
