Ask for a patch test first
If you have sensitive skin or allergies, request a small patch test at least 20–30 minutes before a full design.
Bring reference images
Save time and get the exact style you want by bringing clear photos of patterns or motifs.
Keep the paste on longer for deeper color
Leave the henna paste undisturbed for 4–8 hours—longer contact usually darkens the stain.
Avoid black/chemical henna
Insist on natural henna paste; avoid ‘black henna’ which can contain PPD and cause reactions.
