Frequently Asked Questions.

What should I know before receiving my henna application?

Henna takes around 15-20 minutes to dry, so prepare to have the area you want henna uncovered for at least 30-45 mins.

Ensure that you avoid applying any oils or lotions to the area where henna will be applied.

You want to avoid water for the first day, so shower before your session.

For the following day’s shower, apply a generous amount of coconut oil, vaseline, or a natural balm on the stain to protect it from water.

Henna typically takes around 48 hours to darken fully. It starts out bright orange and gradually darkens to a reddish brown, so don’t freak out when it’s light when it first comes off!

How far in advance should I book my bridal henna?

You should book bridal henna at least 6 months in advance to secure a guaranteed spot. If you book less than two months in advance, there's a high chance we won't be available!

What aftercare do you recommend for the best stain?

You should keep natural henna on for at least six hours; I recommend twelve hours. When you are ready to remove the henna, don't wash it off. Scrape it with a flat, blunt object, such as a credit card or a dull butter knife. Remove any complicated henna pieces by softening the henna using coconut or oil. Once removed, avoid contact with water for 24 hours, as water prevents the henna from oxidizing and staining as darkly. Your henna stain will reach its darkest point 48 hours after removal!

What is your cancellation policy?

All bookings require a non-refundable deposit. This deposit is deducted from your overall cost and is non-refundable. Your booking may be rescheduled if there is availability; however, this is not guaranteed. If you reschedule within 24 hours of your appointment, the deposit will be forfeited, and a new deposit will be required to rebook.
