The art of mehndi, or henna body art, is an exquisite art form which has been practiced for centuries in places like India, Africa and the Middle East. Its origins date back as long as 5000 years when it was used as a cosmetic that was found on the hair and nails of Egyptian mummies. Mehndi is the art of applying designs to one's skin with the paste made from it's powder form.

Traditionally it is used on the hands and feet, the natural dye lasting between one to three weeks. Today mehndi (henna) is seen not only at weddings and religious occasions, but also at various western cultural events and festivals. Before getting any henna done you should be aware of the process and care of this body art i.e. how long it takes to apply, how long to leave the paste on your skin, and aftercare.
Our mehndi artist, Nazil Kara, is available for most events or occasions. Her aptitude for fine art, together with a passion for mehndi has allowed her to expand her creative abilities from traditional henna designs to a more westernized and "modern" henna design application.
We provide the highest quality of mehndi/henna i.e. the product, the artwork and the end result on the customer. Henna (or mehndi) art involves not only the ability to creatively paint a person's skin with henna paste, but also to make high quality henna paste that is applied on the skin.
