She was a joy to work with, and I am absolutely thrilled with how my henna turned out. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

This place needs a good review, because they are awesome. They are located just around the corner/…read morebehind H&M in a little kiosk along with the other swap-meet style vendors. They are right at the front, on the left. I wanted both henna and braids. The henna was done right away, and I had to come back for the braids about an hour and a half later, as the girl that did them was away. The henna is done by stencil mostly, not free hand, so the designs can be a bit basic, but they are still quality. They do take requests for elaboration on the stencil, which is nice. First they put a temporary tattoo on with paper, and trace over it with henna paste. Mine was done quickly and looked great. I was told I could wash it off in two hours, and the darkest result would show up in about 12 hours after the paste was washed off. The last time I got henna, I had to leave it on a lot longer. With this one, I still got great, dark results, but I did leave it on way more than two hours. The longer you leave it, the darker it gets. The braids are EXCELLENT quality. She charges by each braid if you are only getting a few, or you can get a price for a full head or half head. A whole entire head is about $100. I paid maybe $35 for 4 braids, that was including beads, which are extra. It's been like 3 days since I got the braids, and they are still perfect. They have been through showers, the ocean, beach, and more. The hair braider is so amazing. She is super gentle, too. I wish I got her name, because she is one of two girls. She is young, maybe late teens, early 20's and looks Hawaiian. As I saw her work, I wanted my whole head done, because she was doing such a good job. The only reason I didn't, is because I ran out of time. It's a little pricey for the henna (like $35 for the one on my shoulder), but hey, you're right on Waikiki Beach! They have to pay for that prime real estate rent. I was able to bargain a bit. Just work out a deal with them! It was totally worth it. Highly recommended!

The girl working tonight did say it was her third day on the job, but this is quite unacceptable. The patterns were very clunky and uneven. Parts of the design were smeared and messy.

Not to mention the henna design itself is excellent!!! I provided a few inspo photos, some motifs I wanted included, and let her freestyle the rest! It turned out even better than I imagined. Karissa works with you and the time you have -- whether that means thin vs. thick lines, heavy vs. light design (more whitespace), Karissa has it all covered. She and her colleague also did a great job for our guests! Very efficient, quick designs that everyone was so happy about. Overall, highly highly recommend Karissa and Henna Happens for your henna needs!

She also does travel around the island doing special events and occasional pop-up so keeping updated by following her is essential because she's simply amazing! I've been wanting some henna and with my work schedule it has been a challenge not to mention the pandemic has put a shift on some I used to see. Well I was fortunate to see her have another pop-up at Keep it Simple location in Waikiki another of my favorite place, she was just so comforting and calm I was instantly in zen though I was excited to finally have experience some of her spectacular art. She did have some binders filled with various images and prices which of course I saw several that instantly fell in love with but none struck my heart. Since she was still working with a few other guests I decided to glance at her Instagram and saw just what I wanted and knew it was it. 2022 will be four years since I lost my best best friend something I will never come to terms with and a Disney fanatic is an understatement and is not from Hawai'i but absolutely fell in love with the islands enough to move and settle here so with that she came up with my henna and gave her the freedom to do it all! She does have two types of Henna (brown/red color) and Jagua (black/navy color) I did mine with Jagua and reasons may vary so she will consult with you with what may work best. http://www.hennahappens.net is her site for any questions and appointment requests. Absolutely stunning art that gave me some peace and zen to celebrate the blessed life with a friend that's priceless. Thank you!
