Artist Guides
Choosing a henna artist requires more than comparing portfolio photographs. Confirm the artist's identity, service area, style, pricing basis, availability, hygiene practices, products used, ingredient transparency, cancellation terms, and whether portfolio images represent their own work. Bridal and event clients should agree on timing, coverage, travel, and aftercare before paying.
Key questions answered
Plan bridal and event bookings
Confirm date, duration, number of guests, design coverage, travel costs, deposits, cancellations, accessibility, and preparation requirements.
Ask what products are used
Request the product or paste ingredients and discuss allergies, sensitivities, age restrictions, and patch-test instructions in advance.

Frequently asked questions
What should I ask before booking a henna artist?
Ask about availability, pricing, portfolio ownership, products and ingredients, hygiene, timing, travel, deposits, cancellation terms, and aftercare.
Does a high rating prove an artist is suitable?
