HENNA FAQs
What is henna?
Henna is a natural reddish pigment which comes from the henna plant. The pigment is found in the plant's leaves which are picked, dried and ground into a fine powder. The powder is then used to prepare the henna paste which is then applied on the skin in intricate patterns as a form of temporary body art.
How much does it cost?
The starting rate for a henna design is $30. The rate increases according to the size and the complexity of the design you chose.
How long does a henna tattoo last?
A henna tattoo will usually last an average of 15 days. It can be more or less depending on where the design has been applied, henna aftercare and how fast the skin naturally exfoliates. Generally, the faster the skin regenerates, the quicker the tattoo tends to fade.
Does it hurt?
