Maaz did a wonderful job on my wedding henna! I hired them to do my wedding henna as well as…read moresmaller designs on the guests at my henna party, and they did a phenomenal job. They did both hands and feet for me with stunning designs, clearly incorporated what I said I was looking for, and worked SO quickly. They finished (admittedly smaller than some bridal henna I've seen, only to just past my wrists) in maybe 2.5 hours, and took another hour/hour and a half to complete 8 or so smaller designs. Their pricing was extremely reasonable, much less than other artists and the quality was unbeatable. I left the paste on for about 4 or 5 hours, but the paste was getting itchy and I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep with it on, so I took it off after that time, and still got a beautiful dark stain that lasted for about a week. If it makes sense for you, I definitely recommend scheduling your henna in the morning so you can leave the paste on for more of the day to get an even darker stain, but mine was gorgeous even after just a few hours.

We've done a couple of different designs now and they always all looked amazing. I got a lot of compliments on it and the stain was long lasting which is great through the whole wedding week!

I have gotten Mehendi (henna) done several times in my life but never anything as neat as this. If I can suggest anything when you book an appointment, it's that you should let her freehand or pick for you! Her designs are so intricate and she knows what she's doing -- you can possibly get something that hasn't been put on anyone else. That's what she did with me and I absolutely loved how it turned out. I couldn't stop looking down at my hands! The first 2 photos with red nails were from when I got henna done by her for the first time. The photo with my champagne nails had two designs: one was done for a wedding and the other hand was done as an Eid design as we were celebrating Eid that same weekend. Take a look at the moon on my hand. So beautiful! I can't wait to get it done again.

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 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!

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!

Now, long story short, my best friend and I had wanted to do something before she left for Europe all summer. We both had always loved the look of henna but did not want to be stuck with something we didn't like or wouldn't be appropriate for our workplace. So we decided to do some research and were lucky enough to stumble upon Mehndi Maniac! We contacted (somewhat short notice) Arsala and got a quick response back asking what times would work best for us and designs we were interested in. We texted back and forth both the day before and day of. The day of we drove over and upon arriving at her home, we were greeted by her friendly face and her adorable cat. We had a short "consultation" of what we were looking for again (geometric designs, floral designs, etc.) and after we were all happy and on the same page she quickly breezed through my friends geometric henna. She then began to work through my more circular/floral henna design and she did both perfectly. Which amazed me because they were two TOTALLY different designs and it was done with 100% natural henna AND freehand! Mind=blown! Before we left I (very clumsily) smeared a few of my leaves, while putting on my shoes. I was completely mortified and mostly feeling as if I destroyed a masterpiece, but she promptly fixed it and assured me that it was completely fine. Which was totally sweet and appreciated! The cost was very cheap considering the intricate designs both my friend and I wanted. We payed 20$ for the top of our hands and halfway mark towards our elbows. We both got TONS of compliments wherever we went but especially at work (which I was worried about AND it led to us getting MORE tips!!! :)). Overall, my best friend and I had a wonderful experience and we plan on going back once we both have more time on our hands. Thank you for your beautiful work, Arsala!
