    Let me start out by saying I LOVE mehndi and am very particular about the kind I get. I have worked with Saman on two different occasions and both times I was beyond impressed! We worked with Saman for a friend's wedding where all the bridesmaids got mehndi from her and then again at an Eid event I hosted at Lyft! Saman is professional and her designs are intricate and beautiful. I'm truly spoiled by her beautiful work and want mehndi from no one else . Can't wait to work together this year!

    Saman did henna on my hands and feet for my wedding along with my family and wedding party. She was extremely professional and friendly. My henna was the absolute most beautiful henna I have ever seen and I feel so lucky to have had the chance to work with her. Her art added so much more to my wedding day and pictures, if I had to do it all over again I would choose Saman every time!

    What sets The Hennaist apart from other artists is her very unique style. If you look at lots of henna artists, they all follow a similar design aesthetic. You'll find that almost every artist uses similar design elements and layout. But not Saman. Her art really does march to its own drumbeat. And that beat is whimsical. That's the best way I can describe it. There is something very light, delicate and airy about her work that I absolutely love. This is what sets her apart from other artists. She is very prompt, amicable and easy to work with. I would love to get more henna from her in the future if the opportunity presents itself!

    What a find! Such a beautiful talent! She was super professional and the henna art was absolutely beautiful. Everyone was in awe of their selected work.

    Saman was a great addition to our party. She made the party special! She was on time, very detailed in her work but also very efficient! Everyone was happy with their henna art. She also added glitter to the henna which was a fun touch. Her rates are totally reasonable. I would definitely bring her in again for another party!

    I contacted Sanam for Karwachauth mehendi and she did such a fantastic job . Beautiful mehendi n the color was awesome .. very deep . I got a lot of compliments for my mehendi . She gave me full one hour appointment and very patiently she applied henna. She uses organic henna which has no harsh chemicals. I would highly recommend her .

    Beautiful henna done for a bridal shower

    See all

    I got married in September and hired Loli for both my bridal henna and our Haldi + Henna event…read moreduring wedding weekend and I'm so grateful I did. She came on-site a few of days before the celebrations to do my bridal henna, along with designs for my mom, my friend, and small designs for my husband and dad. She took so much care with every detail and never rushed, making the whole experience feel relaxed and special. My bridal designs came out absolutely stunning -- intricate, elegant, and exactly what I hoped for. Loli uses natural henna and she provided clear after-care instructions. The stain developed over the next couple of days into a very deep color that everyone kept complimenting! (Pro tip: get your henna done a few days early for the darkest stain.) One thing I really appreciated is how thoughtful she was even after she finished -- she stayed and took photos of all our henna, which was so sweet and gave us such special memories to look back on. We also hired Loli for our Haldi + Henna event so our guests could get small designs. She coordinated and brought additional artists, and they were all punctual, friendly, and incredibly talented. Our guests loved their designs. Loli is communicative, organized, and truly an expert at her craft; she's also a great person to chat with! I highly, highly recommend her!

She was super responsive to my questions and easy to work with in the months leading up to my event. Loli is also an incredible artist! I was in awe at how quickly she creates stunning designs (check out her portfolio!). She is easy to collaborate with and delivered exactly the vision we had discussed together. Thank you again for a wonderful experience!

With so many…read moreoptions around the market, we saw everyone from local people who do it for fun to professionals with a shop and all. Honestly our goal was to get the best "photos" for sharing on social media. We decided to give a try to Henna in SF. We live in Santa Clara and are usually busy in weekdays, but she agreed to come to us. One thing I really found amazing was the dedication with which Megha was engrossed in doing Henna. I don't know if that's usual for a task like Henna, but Megha was so deeply involved that she literally ignored most of our conversation. At the end of Henna, she apologized for not listening to us. This alone inspired me a lot and motivated to write this review. The result - picture attached. I will be definitely reaching out to her next year, or for any other festival celebration.

I yelped henna artists in SF, and after wading through a bunch of white artists, I finally found an Indian girl named Megha. I texted her and she got back to me right away, and I was able to schedule an appt for literally that evening. She was open to me sending her specific designs, but she also has a portfolio of her own. She came over to my place (but you can meet her at a coffee shop or something if you prefer) and it took her about 45 mins to do both my hands, and at a very good rate to boot! I paid $20 per hand which is a bargain, because her work is beautiful! She works methodically and has a creative eye for improvising and adapting to any design you want. Will definitely be holding onto her number for future urges ;) Thanks Megha for making this Pakistani girl happy! :)

Every stroke was detailed and beautiful. She is a perfectionist and takes pride in her work which is very important when selecting a henna artist for your bridal henna. Be prepared that your wedding henna will take hours because she does not rush her work but perfects the details. She makes her own henna with essential oils and the stain came out the way I wanted. She was great with all my guests for Mehendi night as well down to the last guest. I would recommend her to anyone.

She's super speedy and can finish a full hand of henna in 5-10minutes max - which is BRILLIANT! I've seen her work at an engagement and a bridal party now and both times most of the people were very satisfied. She's great with kids too and adds glitter for them during evening parties as well. I posted pictures of the front and back of my hands as they looked 48 hours after the henna application. For the full hands on both the left and right palm she charges $25 and for the full hands + veils on the back of the hands = $40. It came out pricey, but the henna darkened really well the next day and I only had it on about 4 hours. My only reason for docking a star is that the henna I use is much thinner than what she uses. I think the thinner henna honestly looks a lot better once the color has set in. My hands looked gorgeous when the henna was still drying on them, but now that it's just the color, I'm not as happy with the design/style. It's all relative though depending on your taste, so you can see the pictures and judge for yourself :) She's definitely worth hiring if you're looking to throw henna party for a good price and get reliable and quick service to please all your guests!

I am so appreciative that she truly listened to what I wanted, especially as I pointed out certain filler designs that I absolutely did not want, and she found creative beautiful alternatives that looked incredible. Her skill goes beyond just the designs, she explained the process of making her own henna and I realized how critical it is for an artist to know exactly how thin/thick and viscous the mixture must be for her to have control over the designs. Finally, the cherry on top of her skill and creativity was the calm and kind attitude she carries. It is easy for things to get chaotic amidst coordinating 6 family member's mehendi alongside hair/makeup and other vendors during event set up, and Jinal's calmness was truly appreciated (and necessary!!).
