Hi, I'm Kaia! I am a sophomore in Highschool and I love getting to know others! I enjoy art like painting, drawing, you name it. And for the past couple of years I've been doing henna! And a huge thanks to my family and friends who has supported me in starting this business. I was inspired to do something I love and share my talents with others and make them happy. I'd love to schedule a henna for you!
The process of getting henna is simple! Before scheduling an appointment, it's helpful to know that if your skin is sensitive I highly suggest not getting henna. It can have harmful side effects if you decide to get one in that situation. To begin with, I'll wipe the surface of your skin to make sure it's clean, then begin drawing. Overtime the henna will dry, appearing darker in color, and will be able to wipe off. The amount of time it takes for it to dry depends on how much henna is used. It can take from 15 minutes to an hour. At first when it dries, the design will appear as an orange color, but within 12 hours it will begin to darken to a brown. This design will stay from one to two weeks long!

The price of a henna is dependent on several factors. The amount of detail is the main factor, time it takes, amount of henna used, and how much space it takes up. For example, if you were to get an average sized henna with little detail, it would be on the lower end of the price range. But if it were to have lots of small details, it would be priced higher.
If you don't know what henna is, it's a temporary tattoo. It is NOT PERMANENT. It lasts from one to two weeks though, which is a good while to enjoy it. :)
Henna has been used for over 9,000 years and was originally used for body temperature regulation. Henna was made out of crushed dried leaves from a plant called Lawsonia inermis, but is mainly referred to as Henna. Used in countries like Pakistan, Africa, India, and the Middle East, it gave a cooling sensation to the body in hot climates. People would dip their feet and soak their palms into the paste, henna, and the cooling sensation would stay. Eventually, henna was used for designs on the skin for those who couldn't afford jewelry. And is still used for temporary design today!
