I cannot recommend Lolitha Popuri (@Loli_Henna) enough! She was our henna artist for our wedding,…read moreand working with her was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. From our very first conversation, Lolitha was kind, professional, and incredibly accommodating. One thing we really appreciated was how transparent she was about her pricing. She was upfront about costs, worked with our budget, and helped us find options that fit our needs without ever making us feel pressured. That honesty and flexibility made the planning process so much easier. She took the time to understand exactly what I envisioned for my bridal mehndi and created a design that was even more beautiful than I had imagined. Every detail was intricate, elegant, and personalized, blending traditional elements with a modern touch that perfectly matched our wedding style. On the day of the mehndi, she made the entire experience so enjoyable. She worked efficiently without ever compromising on the quality of her artistry, and her calm, friendly personality helped me relax and truly enjoy the moment. The henna stain developed into a rich, dark color that lasted beautifully throughout all of our wedding celebrations, and I received countless compliments from family, friends, and guests. Our guests also loved their henna, and Lolitha was patient, organized, and made sure everyone who wanted a design had a wonderful experience. If you're looking for a talented, reliable, and genuinely caring henna artist in the Bay Area, I wholeheartedly recommend Lolitha Popuri (@Loli_Henna). Her artistry, professionalism, transparency, and willingness to work within our budget made her such an important part of our wedding celebrations. We're so grateful we chose her and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful, high-quality henna. Thank you, Lolitha, for helping make our wedding memories even more beautiful!

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!

1st review? Score!!…read more That's not my excitement though. Who doesn't like rides? Santa Cruz? FACE PAINT? Well meet the orca family! it's a family of wife/husband/daughter/son and they all take part in setting up shop on the boardwalk during warmer months to give you that lasting color memory on yo' face! One of my requirements lol is that I usually like to choose my own design and they totally allow that. Just nothing derogatory. Being able to get face paint makes the day fun, you can wear it all day and get attention at dinner if that's your comfort level, and for me it brings me a little slice of my childhood of yester-year. They also accept credit cards! So, if you haven't taken the glitter plunge or even visited Santa Cruz, what-are-you-waiting-for? *Vegas life, Cali girl forever.
