-If your bridal henna goes beyond the wrists and ankles, please perform hair removal for a clear, smooth skin canvas for the designs. Arm hair (however fine) gets in the way and prevents the designs from be applied neatly.

-Do your manicure/pedicure a day BEFORE henna application.

-Spray tans are not recommended either before or after bridal henna.

-Wear comfortable and warm clothing for your bridal henna session.

-Make sure to have your meal before you sit down for your henna session.

-Detailed instructions for before and after-care will be emailed to you once you book your henna session.

Bridal henna should be done at least 2-3 days prior to the wedding. Natural henna takes that long to reach its darkest stain hence, for best results it is ideal to do your bridal henna 2-3 days prior to the wedding date. I do not recommend getting your bridal henna done just 1 day before the wedding.

Bridal Henna Tips

Henna should be applied 2-3 days in advance before the actual event or occasion to get the best result or darker stain because natural henna takes 24 to 48 hours to get an actual dark stain

Finish your salon schedule (Manicure Pedicure, waxing/sugaring/hair removal treatment or shaving ) before applying henna. Doing this after your henna will fade the henna stain.

Avoid applying any kind of oil, body cream or lotion before applying henna (on the day of the henna appointment.). Keep your skin clean, oil-free and dry to get the best result.

It is advised to keep your henna untouched with water or any liquid substance such as water, soap, any kind of lotion and hand sanitizer for a minimum of 24 hours.

Stains will bloom in orange color first and then it will further get darken in wine red and further to dark cherry tones.

I’ll let you in on a secret. Just like clothing fashion, there are henna designs that go in and out of fashion. It is always best to just send a few sample photos of what you like, and then let your artist design your bridal henna.

It is my job as the henna artist, to be aware of the latest trends and motifs and I try to incorporate those into your bridal henna.

I do not copy the exact work of other henna artists. I will take the photos you provide and use them only as inspiration to do the designs in my signature style. Every artist has their own unique style, and if you love my work in my galleries, then I would love you to put your trust in me and let me create your bridal henna designs in my own style.

Your bridal henna can take anywhere from 3 to 7 hours depending upon the design style and coverage you have chosen.
