Zobia was absolutely amazing!! She visited our home and did henna for my Mom, my sister and myself…read more She's unbelievably quick, efficient and a brilliant artist! Whether off of pictures provided or her own free hand work each one of our designs was beautiful - You'll see from the pics, We each have very different complexions (from light to dark) and Zobia was equipped with the perfect henna for each. She explained that lighter shades use one type of henna and darker skin requires another to ensure that no matter your complexion the art work will look beautiful and vibrant on the skin. (Sidebar: last year, with a different artist, my skin turned fire orange (for a month) because the wrong henna was used :( So glad we found Zobia!! She's a pro!!! **Zobia, Thank you for getting us ladies ready for today's big party!

I had both palms and backs of hands, and two friends had one back of hand design - all within 2 hours. The henna stayed beautifully and I was impressed with how diligent she was. Highly recommend Zobia - added bonus is that she can come to you, so you don't have to go traipsing around with delicate henna on your hands!

I cannot say enough great things about our experience with Jyoti and Elegantiq Events! Jyoti was a…read morejoy to work with. I hired her to do face painting for a 6 year old birthday party. She was easy to work with, is a great communicator, responded promptly, and arrived early to set up for the party. Her face painting station was a hit and Jyoti was painting non-stop for hours! She brought a large variety of beautiful colors, glitter, and more. The best part - the kids loved their masterpieces! Jyoti was very kind and patient with the kids; and very flexible. They were able to choose from virtually any design imaginable; or she created something beautiful if they weren't sure. The designs washed off easily with soap and water, but my granddaughter insisted on keeping hers until the next day! All in all, I would highly recommend Jyoti and will definitely hire her again for our next party!

Monika is a true artist! I met Monika at a mehendi wedding party in fall 2020 and not only is she…read morereally good (I mean, just look at the photos for proof!) but she was so fast, kind, and professional. For example, there were young girls at the mehendi, probably around the age of 6-7 years old, and Monika did mehendi on them and was so patient with the little kids and drew a very pretty design on their little hands. By the way, did I mention that Monika was a guest at this party AND she was so awesome at drawing designs on everyones hands? Wow! Seriously, I would hire her for any of your mehendi needs. I wish I lived closer to her so I could go to her!

I reached out to Semanti wanting to get Eid Henna on my hands on Tuesday -- the holiday (Eid) was…read moreon Friday so it was a little last minute. I found her via her Instagram which features more of her talented work: instagram.com/hennabysemanti Semanti was so sweet on the phone and coordinated with me around her pretty booked up schedule. She ended up coming in to the city to my apartment because it was the only way I would be able to do the henna with her. She was super friendly from the get go. I showed her a ton of different pictures and she asked all the right questions for us to nail down a specific design/vision for my henna. She was super quick, and I still had a blast talking with her the whole time she did my henna. She's so talented and it came out looking basically exactly like my inspo pictures with a little bit of her own creative flair. Her prices are so reasonable too! Definitely book her for your next event :)

Of course the day after she did an awful job she temporarily closes. I had my bridal henna done by…read moreSemanti on 5/2 this Thursday. She used one black tube of something (I think it's Jagua) on a part of my left hand and the rest was henna. When I woke up in the day of my wedding I found that my left ring hand was completely black and reached out to Semanti for some explanation and a refund. She said said sorry and said she would only provide a partial refund. Never tried to even explain what she used or how to fix anything. I asked her to have compassion and understanding and her response was "I can't be compassionate through text." I paid $225 dollars for henna (overpriced) and she made a huge mistake and stained my hand black for my wedding and I even asked if she could refund half and she declined and gave me $60 back without replying to any messages. I've never experienced someone with such poor respect for their customers and pettiness. It's not about money at the end of the day. It's about the bad attitude and utter lack of professional and accountability. I've done henna hundreds of times and this never happened. There's better henna artist out there, who treat customers better and know what they are doing.

I wanted to surprise my man with henna for our public wedding ceremony and after a lot of careful…read moreresearch, decided to go with Mangala because her designs were so beautiful and she made it clear she used 100% natural, real henna. Henna was really intimidating to me -- I was so afraid of smudging the design or not liking the finished look. Like, I bought back-up white gloves just in case. Mangala really helped set my mind at ease through email before the appointment and I gave her some pics of designs I liked. Meeting her at Jivamuktea Cafe, I was 100% confident in her artistry. She freehanded a gorgeous design! And taped it up extra secure for me, especially since it's winter -- which involved many layers of coats, etc. I kept my hands taped up for about 12 hours (overnight) and voila! I had a pretty much perfect stain that deepened to a dark burgundy for my wedding day. Her price was more than fair and her work on my hands got me so many compliments and much respect from my Punjabi husband (who romantically had to feed me dinner while my hands were taped up. Daw.) Also: her henna smells heavenly and I kept sniffing my hands like a weirdo when I got home. But what I really loved about Mangala was our conversation. The appointment was supposed to be 2 hours but took 4! That was exhausting for both of us. I definitely dozed in my chair towards the end. Heh. It's not always easy to make conversation with a stranger, but over the course of the appointment, we chatted about marriage, L.A., death, and goth music. It was truly a wonderful experience all around and I look forward to trying henna with her again. Maybe I'll get her to sneak a tiny skull into my design somewhere. Ha! She's a true artist and a total professional.
