The sweetest artist

Heena made my mehndi day so enjoyable and honestly perfect! She is so calm, talented, and sweet. She will ensure you are comfortable and adjust her schedule accordingly to make sure she accommodates if you prefer morning or evening and one artist or two artists so its less time sitting. She asks for your preferred designs and symbols and then gives guidance on what will look good. She followed up the next day and checked on how my color came out (which was very dark!) and gave me tips on when to take it off/how to wrap it and when to put oil on. Booking Heena is a vendor you shouldn't think twice about! Thank you for the amazing bridal mehndi and memories Heena!!

Beautiful Mehendi!

Heena and her accompanying henna artist did a wonderful job at my wedding mehendi event! She was so easy to work with - communicative and responsive prior to the event as well as accommodating during the event. Her designs were beautiful and she did a great job incorporating personalizations based on details I shared about my fiancé and me. She uses quality products which shows through in the results. I would highly recommend her henna services!

Beautiful henna for our guests!

Heena and her team did an amazing job with our Mehendi! Their designs all looked great, and they were wonderful with assisting guests who hadn’t had henna before. The guests loved it, and we got tons of compliments! Heena was very easy to work with; she had good communication and quick responses during the planning phase, and was well organized on the day-of. We’d recommend her to anyone needing mehndi services!

Lovely mehendi vendor!

I highly recommend Heena's mehendi services! She came with good reviews and many pictures of her work, including clear details of what each price package entailed. I really appreciated her flexibility and patience when I sent many new designs and inspiration ideas for my mehendi, and she took the time to understand what I really wanted and sent me multiple drafts. On the day of, I was so happy with my mehendi! Her work is beautifully detailed, efficient, and with a personal touch. On top of that, she is a sweet person to spend hours with as you get your mehendi :)

Absolutely amazing!

Heena provided my bridal mehndi services and also did my mom & sister's mehndi for my wedding weekend. She is punctual and incredibly responsive. She has a very creative eye, is a perfectionist, and she made sure I got exactly what I had envisioned for my bridal mehndi. I received so many compliments on my mehndi throughout my wedding weekend!! She really goes above and beyond to make sure her brides are happy with the end result. She has a very warm personality and is such a kind & sweet soul. I greatly look forward to working with her again soon for any other future family events!

Phenomenal personalized services with expertise and heart!

We are so lucky and blessed to have met Heena and to have experienced her art. It truly was such a special time during the days preceding our wedding, and Heena's team was phenomenal about getting myself, my bridal party, our close family friends, and my now husband (!!!) feeling beautiful to celebrate the big day.
I loved my experience working with Heena, who truly took the time to get to know me and our story, personalizing my absolutely breathtaking bridal mehndi to be remembered fondly for decades to come.
I can't emphasize how excited I am for the many more lucky brides who can be fortunate enough to meet Heena and receive her art on their special day!

Great experience!

I had a wonderful henna experience working with Heena. The first thing I appreciated was her professional and business organization when first reaching out to her about availability, designs, and pricing - Heena had everything in order, and responded so quickly.

Second - I really appreciated that Heena had styles and price points for all types of henna art. We had a fusion wedding, so I was actually looking for something a little more simple than the full arms and legs, and Heena was able to provide it at a great price.

Heena goes out of your way to make sure the bride is happy - even if it means traveling long distances, or working late into the night tirelessly. Heena did my bridal henna, but when she found out she was double booked for the henna party for our guests, she seamlessly found another artist that could fill in. She handled all the billing behind the scenes, which made everything easy on the busy wedding weekend!
