Aftercare is important. To get the best stain from your henna, leave the paste on your skin as long as possible. 4-6 hours, or overnight, is recommended. When you first take the paste off, the stain will be orange. Your henna will oxidize and darken to its final color over the next 2-3 days. Watching this gradual darkening process is part of the magic! If you are getting your henna for a special occasion, make sure you book your appointment at least two days before for the best stain.
Glitter Tattoos are our most versatile service. These bright sparkly tattoos are a favorite among parents because they're quick, they dry instantly, and there's no mess! They are applied with a stencil using a safe medical grade adhesive and body safe glitter. They are also water resistant and can last up to a week. Great as a stand alone service, they also make a perfect add-on to your henna party where there will be little ones in attendance that you don't want to leave out.

Henna (scientific name Lawsonia Inermis) is a small flowering plant that is used to naturally stain the skin in different beautiful designs. The picture to the left shows the first step in creating henna paste in which the leaves are dried and ground to a powder. Real henna only contains simple, natural ingredients:
lemon juice or water, sugar, and essential oils. Stay away from anything labelled "black henna" as it contains harmful chemicals and in some cases can cause permanent scarring, cancer, even death. (Real henna is never black!)
About Our Services
Henna has been used for so long that no one knows for sure who was the first to discover it! Historians say that this plant has been used for over 5 thousand years for cosmetic and healing purposes. Henna as a body decoration is not
specific to any culture or religion and has been enjoyed by people all over the
world, often to celebrate life events. This stunning ancient art has been
practiced for centuries in Pakistan, India, South Asia, and the Middle East by Christians, Muslims, Jews and Hindus alike.
