Question 4

Do you offer bridal henna?

Question 9

Do you offer Jagua?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Jagua is available alongside traditional henna for a different stain colour and look. Contact me to discuss which option suits your design, event and preferences best.

Question 10

What type of henna paste do you use?

Accepted Answer

A 100% organic henna paste made with henna powder, lemon juice, sugar, eucalyptus oil and sometimes lavender oil. Please let me know about any allergies or sensitivities before your appointment.

Question 11

How long does the stain take to darken?

Accepted Answer

It starts orange and deepens over the following 24–48 hours. Final colour depends on placement, skin and aftercare — keep the paste on for several hours, scrape (don't wash) it off, and avoid water for a little while after.

Question 12

How can I receive a quote?

Accepted Answer

Every booking is unique — pricing depends on the design, coverage and time required. Message me with your details on Instagram, the enquiry form or by email for a personalized quote.
