Nikita Sent on 04/07/2026An incredible artist and an even more incredible person
Bhavna is truly a master of her craft.. The artistry and precision in my henna were stunning, with beautiful personal touches like my dog, peacocks, and depictions of my fiance and I.
She created such a warm and welcoming environment for me and my bridesmaids while they practiced their dances, and made the entire experience feel easy and fun. Seven hours flew by because of her energy and conversation.
She was so accommodating, thoughtful, and professional, even cooking for me and making sure I was taken care of. It truly felt special from beginning to end. -

We threw a big 5-year anniversary party after our tiny pandemic wedding, and Bhavna provided two artists to provide henna for our guests. It was an absolute highlight of the evening! Many of our guests were non-Indian, and absolutely loved the experience. We had 125 guests and the artists worked efficiently yet still beautifully - everyone who wanted henna had an opportunity to get beautiful designs during the event. Bhavna was great to work with - clear and easy to communicate with, great value for the service, and very flexible when we had to make some weather adjustments to our plan. Highly recommend! -

Bhavna is amazing. Her henna's are individual works of art. She did an outstanding job on my daughters henna, and everyone was amazed by it.
She is dedicated to her work , and passionate about it. I am so thrilled to have used her services, and met her and her family! She is the best, and I would recommend her very strongly. My daughters wedding was in June 2025. -

Amazing henna artist!
Bhavna did an amazing job with my bridal henna!! She began with a zoom consultation weeks before my wedding. She showed me many different designs and allowed me to pick my design and also customized it. It was very nice to be able to see the exact design virtually! The day of the application, she came with all of her equipment and was very professional. She was so fun to talk to! Although my henna took about 6-7 hours, it flew by with ease because of how easy Bhavna was to talk to. I felt as if she was a friend and we were catching up. Her work is incredible and she pays attention to all details. My stain was also very dark. Everyone complimented by henna and I loved that I was able to put my own unique touch to it. Bhavna is the BEST person to book your bridal henna with in the DMV area!! -

I can't say enough great things about my experience with Bhavna for my wedding henna! From start to finish, she was incredibly professional, friendly, and talented. The design she created was absolutely stunning – intricate, elegant, and perfectly suited to the theme of my wedding. She took the time to listen to my preferences and incorporated every detail I wanted while adding her own beautiful touch. The henna itself was rich in color and lasted beautifully throughout the festivities. If you’re looking for someone to make your wedding day even more special with a flawless henna design, I highly recommend Bhavna. She is an absolute artist, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! 10/10 experience!

Bhavna was one of the most incredible vendors we worked with. From the very first consultation call where we planned my mehndi, she made me feel like an absolute princess. Her designs were breathtaking—from the intricate Chicago skyline to the beautiful portrait on my palm, every detail was flawless. All of my guests were blown away by her work.
But beyond her exceptional talent as a mehndi artist, Bhavna truly excels in her interpersonal skills. She made the hours spent getting my bridal henna feel effortless, with her calming energy being a soothing presence on what can be a very chaotic day. She also went above and beyond to accommodate our family’s various henna requests, even with all the different timings involved.
I can’t recommend her enough! -

I had the absolute pleasure of getting my bridal henna done by Bhavna Aunty, and it was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. She is incredibly talented and creative, and from the moment I sat down, she made me feel comfortable. Bhavna Aunty listened carefully to what I envisioned and brought it to life perfectly. I cannot recommend her enough—everyone should have their henna done by Aunty Bhavna!
I also hired her team for my bridal party, and everyone loved their personalized designs. Bhavna Aunty takes her time to ensure that you feel beautiful and confident. She truly works wonders and is such a wonderful person to meet. I feel so lucky and blessed to have met her! -

Bhavna did my bridal henna and it was just amazing and beautiful. I loved creating my design with her over Zoom and adding all the small details. On the day of she was super professional but also took care of me, like a daughter. She is such a loving and kind person and her artistry is on another level. She works quickly and is super easy to talk to. She also did the guest henna along with another artist and it was superb. All of my friends, family, and guests were beaming with joy with the henna designs by Bhavna. It was just an absolute dream come true and Bhavna made it possible. As a bride, my one worry is how the guests who have never gotten henna done feel, but Bhavna guided them and helped create an environment of comfort and love. I appreciated the clear communication and her ability to work with me and my family to make this part of my wedding super special. There are not enough words for me to put here to say how grateful I am. Thank you so much for all that you do! -

Sugandha Sent on 09/14/2024A perfect mehendi experience
I couldn’t have dreamed of getting a better mehendi for my wedding, all thanks to Bhavna. From start to finish, it was extremely evident that this was not just a gig for Bhavna but her passion to use her art to bring one’s vision to life. Bhavna scheduled a design consultation a month in advance and I didn’t quite know what to expect as I knew in my head what I wanted but translating that in words seemed daunting. Bhavna is a wiz with her design tools and she quickly started mocking up what I wanted with such speed and accuracy that I just stared in astonishment. She incorporated all the personal touches we wanted i.e. our Mt Everest base camp hike, portraits of the bride and groom holding wine glasses.
The day of mehendi, Bhavna came prepared with a trunk load of accessories to ensure I was as comfortable as possible during the 7 hour henna application. Back cushions for comfort, knee rest, you name it, Bhavna has got it to make sure you feel like a queen on your henna day. She even got a tiny gift for my mom, which was so incredibly sweet. I don’t know where the time went as Bhavna and I chit chatted for 7 hours. Bhavna also brought homemade balm for after care for henna which was excellent and smelled HEAVENLY. Honestly, run and book her for your wedding.
She is a gem of a person and this will be the best decision you make.
Our wedding guests, family and friends could not shut up about how intricate, beautiful and delicately done the designs were. -

Love bhavna
Bhavna has such an amazing and calming presence. She truly thinks of everything when it comes to getting your mendhi done. She moves you from low to high chairs, feeds you, EVEN HELPS TAKE YOU TO THE BATHROOM. Talking to her made the time fly and I didn’t even realize when 6 hours went by. From the consultation to the actual mendhi day and now even when my wedding is done, working with her was an amazing experience. She made my vision come to life and even exceeded all the expectations. I know this isnt the last Ill see of her because she is truly like family now -

Bhavna completed my henna for a small wedding. She promptly answered all my questions when booking and deciding on a henna vendor. She was very patient and detail oriented when completing my henna, and very friendly throughout the whole process. Her warm personality and fun sense of humor made the henna experience that much more enjoyable! I also had the darkest henna I've ever seen! -

Valerie Sent on 02/27/2024The Best Henna Experience I've Ever Had!
I highly recommend booking Bhavna for any mehndi/henna needs! Bhavna's art speaks for itself in terms of its sophistication and elegance, and her warm and compassionate communication style makes the entire henna process as enjoyable as the stunning end results. During the consultation, Bhavna took the time to learn about my goals for my henna design and about my relationship with my husband. On the application day, Bhavna's bedside manner made me feel like I was in the presence of a close-friend, rather than a wedding vendor that I was meeting for the first time. Her clear and concise henna aftercare guidance put my mind at ease, and resulted in the best henna results I've ever had. I cannot recommend her services more! -

Sanchari Sent on 01/04/2024Most Wonderful Experience with Bhavna for Henna!
I first came across Bhavna’s mehndi/henna work through Instagram, and I was truly amazed by the detail of her work. As I got to know her through our interactions over the past year, especially our consultation session, I learned so much about the passion that she has for her work, and how beautifully she thinks through each of the designs that she creates with the bride for each of their special days. My experience was no different - Bhavna spent over 1 hour with me consulting on what designs I would like for my wedding.
When she came over to our house to do the mehndi, I didn’t know too much of what to expect, but Bhavna guided me through each step with so much love and care. We also got to connect on a deeper level throughout the time that we had with each other, which was so beautiful. She is such a loving and kind soul, and I am so grateful to have gotten to know her through this process. Aunty also stayed back to do mehndi for my family, and treated them with such love and care, for which I am so grateful.
The design itself came out even more beautiful than I could have imagined, with the most lovely color (thanks to Bhavna’s aftercare instructions!). I have the highest recommendation for Bhavna for anyone who is looking to have mehndi/henna for any special occasion in their lives! -

Highly recommend!
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the incredible talents of Bhavna, and I am still in awe of her extraordinary work. Bhavna is not just a henna artist; she is a true master, transforming skin into a canvas and creating masterpieces.
Bhavna's warm and inviting demeanor immediately put me at ease. Her passion for henna was evident, and it was contagious. She took the time to understand my preferences, ensuring that the design would be a perfect reflection of my style and personality.
What sets Bhavna apart is not just her technical skill, which is undoubtedly impeccable, but also her creativity and attention to detail. Each stroke seemed to flow effortlessly from her skilled hands, weaving together intricate patterns that told a story. The precision with which she worked was awe-inspiring, and I could sense the dedication she poured into her craft.
The henna itself was of the highest quality, leaving a rich, deep stain that surpassed my expectations. Bhavna's use of natural ingredients not only ensured a beautiful color but also demonstrated her commitment to the well-being of her clients.
The entire process was a delight, as Bhavna shared anecdotes about the cultural significance of various motifs and the history of henna art. Her knowledge and passion added a layer of depth to the experience, making it not just a beautification ritual but a journey into the rich tapestry of traditions.
If you're seeking a henna artist who goes beyond the ordinary, Bhavna is the undisputed choice. Her artistry is a celebration of tradition, creativity, and personal connection. I wholeheartedly recommend Bhavna to anyone looking for a henna experience that transcends expectations. Thank you, Bhavna, for turning my vision into a henna masterpiece! -

Best henna artist in the region
Bhavna is super talented and takes so much care in her art. During the consultation, she took the time to learn about my relationship and incorporate meaningful elements into my custom design. The day that she did my henna was a long day but her skill and easy going personality made it feel like a breeze. She provided aftercare instructions, a homemade balm and even gave a cute jewelry set as a gift for my mom. Everyone who complimented my henna, which was an especially dark stain on my wedding day, called it a work of art. I truly think that with how thoughtful she is, Bhavna is the best henna artist in the region. I'd recommend Bhavna's work to anyone looking for bridal henna or henna for any reason! -

She is the sweetest person that can allow for endless conversation. From the moment I booked her services, I received emails and confirmations on what the next step was. All instructions were clear!

I had seen Bhavna’s work on a few of my friends over the years and she does such an incredible job that I absolutely knew I wanted to have her be the one to complete my own bridal henna. During the consultation, she took the time to understand by preferences and vision for my bridal mehendi, and worked closely with me to ensure that my design was both beautiful and meaningful.
On the day of, my bridal mehendi took 8 hours, but with her calm and positive nature, the time flew by quickly. Bhavna created such intricate and flawless designs on my hands and feet, and it was incredible to watch the vision I had in my mind come to life. Her attention to detail was unparalleled and she thought of everything to ensure the whole process was comfortable and enjoyable throughout. My mehendi came out super dark and stunning!

It was an absolute pleasure to have Bhavna as my henna artist for my wedding! She was so timely and professional in going through our henna consultation. Her designs are stunning and she even was able to incorporate full length portraits into my henna. She was very flexible and accommodating to my henna design requests because she wanted me to love my bridal henna. I and all the guests were raving about her work all weekend. She was also very easy to talk to, we spent about 8 hours together to complete my feet and hands henna designs and we never ran out of things to talk about. We also had Bhavna and a member of her team at our sangeet and they were able to do so many henna designs for so many guests in just 2-3 hours. Everyone loved Bhavna and her team! Thank you so much Bhavna ❤️ I am so glad to have been able to have you as my henna artist! -

If you're thinking about getting henna for your wedding, or for any event really, your search is over. Bhavna is not only an incredible artist, but also she is a true professional. She walks her bride's through every step of the process, planning a design, to how to take care of the henna. She also is a very kind, thoughtful person.

Sriya Sent on 02/15/2023Blessed with the best!
I knew I wanted Bhavna to be my henna artist from the very start! I’m so lucky she was available for my wedding weekend. She is a true artist and was such an incredible force to work with. A year prior I had a consultation call with Bhavna and she took her time to create a personalized henna design for me. It was clear that she cared deeply to help show our relationship and wedding story through her art. She designed a new york and SF skyline, helped me incorporate designs I love and included personal touches like a Kuchipudi dancer. She took care to think about my skin tone and suggest that more filled in designs would show up better. This little thing showed me how much she genuinely cares. Her henna is made by her and all natural ingredients which made me feel safe. Her after care instructions were very detailed and my henna turned out SO beautiful and dark. It was the darkest I’ve ever seen and I noticed that all her brides have these same consistent results. In addition Bhavna and her team were there for our mehndi and we’re the artists for our family and friends. They were also so caring, fun and present. They made the event so fun and enjoyable. Bhavna was also so patient and flexible with us increasing the guest count a few weeks prior.
I recommend Bhavna for bridal and guest henna and I just hope you’re lucky enjoy that’s she’s not already booked!! ❤️🙏🏽

The absolute best!
I truly can not say enough wonderful things about Bhavna. Beginning with the consultation, Bhavna displayed professionalism, attention to detail and truly listened to what I wanted in my bridal henna.
The morning of my henna, Bhavna was on time and brought her own chairs/tables, creating a convenient set-up. She was incredibly thoughtful and brought gifts for me and my mother. I was so nervous because I can't sit still for long periods of time, but Bhavna was so easy to talk to...5 hours flew by! Bhavna is incredibly detail-oriented and you can tell she is truly passionate about creating beautiful, individualized henna for each bride. Unique touches for me included: heavy floral work, elephants, healthcare symbol and my fiancé's initials.
Following my bridal henna, other family members began to show up for their henna and everyone I talked to was equally impressed with Bhavna's professionalism, attention to detail and pleasant demeanor. Bhavna is an extremely popular vendor in the DMV area and now I know why...she is an amazing and talented henna artist, but an even better human being, exuding positive energy and love. Simply the best! -

Best Henna Artist Ever
Out of all the craziness that happens during an Indian wedding, the best decision I ever made was having Bhavna do my henna. She is such an amazing human being with talent that is beyond this world. My bridal henna took about 6 hours to complete and during that entire time she gave me much needed life advice, made some jokes, and I truly found myself enjoying my experience with her. She pays attention and cares for her clients from providing a water bottle to make sure we brides stay hydrated to consistently checking in to make sure we are okay during the long process. My henna itself was so detailed and perfect that my guests could not stop staring at it throughout the festivities. The stain was so dark and beautiful plus the after care balm Bhavna provided along with the after care instructions definitely gave me the picture perfect henna. I would hands down recommend any future bride to go and get their henna done by her. Bhavna will be your little pocket of peace and happiness amongst the craziness plus your guests will be mesmerized by her design talent! -

Malvika Sent on 11/03/2022Bhavna is incredible!
I booked Bhavna in Spring 2021 for my October 1st (2022) wedding. As soon as I booked her, she provided a form for me to fill out my likes/dislikes. During our consultation, she came up with a preliminary design to start off. She was super open to all my adjustments and small clues I wanted to place within my mehndi.
On Thursday of my wedding week, Bhavna arrived prepared with all the items she needed. My mehndi took about 6 hours. Conversation with Bhavna was super easy, and she even spent time conversing with my now husband! Even as our house filled up with guests closer to the evening for our first event, she was able to be a rock and help me out wherever I needed. My wedding was Saturday morning and the stain was so dark that day! She also provided the most beautiful-smelling homemade balm as well.
To all future brides: I HIGHLY recommend booking Bhavna for your bridal mehndi. Her talent is seriously unmatched. I was drawn to her reverse fill, the intricacy, the figure work, and her florals. The stories Bhavna can tell within her art, even in the most subtle ways, make you feel so special throughout the whole wedding. If I could get married again just to have Bhavna do my mehndi, then I 1000% would. -

From the very beginning of our experience, Bhavna was nothing short of professional and communicative. She offers thoughtful touches to her brides, like a complimentary consultation to customize the design. Her artistry is unparalleled - everyone was in awe of the bridal henna that she did for me. Hire Bhavna only if you want the best henna artist out there!! We engaged when services for both my bridal henna (arms and feet) which took about 7 hours. She brought her own setup which ensured I was comfortable the entire time. We also had Bhavna and her team for sangeet guest henna and they all loved her designs, efficiency, and calm demeanor.

Bhavna was an absolute pleasure to work with! She is extremely talented, kind & personable. Starting with an in depth consultation to nail down all the important details I wanted incorporated, working with Bhavna was a breeze. She brought all the set up she needed (including adorable waterbottles/post-care packages for myself & my mom) and the 7 hours for my bridal henna flew by. We chatted throughout the afternoon and I was astounded by the amount of detail and precision Bhavna was able to weave into my mehndi. She also gave my mom the same level of detail and treatment which was incredibly special. The stain was also very dark and my family/guests could not stop raving about it. Bhavna was one of the first vendors I booked because she was so popular & recommended! I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for bridal or family henna!

Superior Professionalism
Bhavna is an incredibly gifted artist and consummate professional. She is an expert and her dedication to her craft shows through in every part of the experience.
We had a consultation months before our event to customize our designs and talk through the entire process. This was reassuring and a great way to build initial rapport.
We talked for hours during my bridal application and all of our guests raved about how warm and engaging she was during their sittings. It’s hard not to bond with her. Lastly, even with a few last minute changes and alterations Bhavna was flexible and accommodating. We had a wonderful time working with her on both our bridal mendhi and welcome night event. I highly recommend her to all. -

Bhavna is the sweetest mehndi artist ever! I fell in love with her work back in 2017 and knew she was going to be my wedding mehndi artist! I loved every detail of my mehndi & loved that I got to create every single part of my design. She captured my love story and even drew my design in advance so we could make any changes prior to my mehndi day. It was a pleasure working with Bhavna & I am SO glad I chose her.

If you are on the hunt for a henna artist, please look no further. Working with Bhavna for my wedding mehndi was a dream come true! As a same sex couple planning an Indian-American fusion ceremony, we were very intentional in choosing vendors that we knew would celebrate our love and protect our safe space. From the detailed design consultation where Bhavna helped educate me on ways we could honor both my Bengali-father and American-mom through my henna to the tears of gratitude that filled many of our guests eyes after Bhavna did their henna on the day of the event, it was clear that our mehndi would not have been complete without Bhavna. -

Absolutely amazing!! I highly recommend Bhavna to brides!
I reached out to Bhavna very early on in my planning process because I saw her work and immediately fell in love with her designs! The experience from the initial reach out, to the consultation to the day of my mehendi was absolutely fabulous. I was blown away by the way she customized my design, patched the different concepts I loved together, switch things around to give me different options - all in the hour long consultation! By the end, I knew exactly what my design would look like and was even more excited for my mehendi.

The best experience!
Working with Bhavna for my bridal henna was such a wonderful experience! The amount of talent she has is out of this world. I am still in awe of the amazing design she created for me. My mehendi turned out perfectly- everything I could have hoped for and more. She added so many elements that I asked for including a building from where my husband and I went to school and the igloo where he proposed, as well as lots of little hidden elements that were meaningful to us. She is also just the sweetest person and fun to hang out with all day! The eight hours went by pretty fast! She gives you everything you could possibly need and more to make the day/night easier as the henna dries. Her team did the henna for my family and bridal party and were wonderful as well!
If you’re looking for a bridal henna artist - look no further - Bhavna is the best! -

Extraordinary & unique!
I would recommend Bhavna over & over again! She is a pure genius as what she does. What makes her unique an different is that she gets time to know and learn your story and incorporate it into your henna design. Her works is simply beautiful to say the least. I could go on and on about how amazed I was with her skills and with her attention to detail. She makes it fun & enjoyable and will make sure you’re taken care of throughout the entire process. For the package that I took, the process took around 7.5 - 8 hours with a few short breaks in between. Bhavna makes sure that you are comfortable all along the way and also makes sure you get food and water in your system. She honestly takes care of you as if you’re her own daughter. That quality is really rare to come upon. I’m so glad and thankful that I found her to do my wedding mehndi. I can guarantee she will not disappoint and will make your mehndi unique and different from the rest. I don’t think I’ve seen any bridal mehndi design that is the same. Thank you a billion times over, Bhavna! Miss every moment of that day. ❤️ -

Don't look any further! If you are getting married and require henna services for your big day, do yourself a favor and book with Bhavna.

The meeting you have with her beforehand where she asks you about your relationship and also what design elements you wish to have is such a unique and wonderful experience. She then hand creates a unique design just for you. It is the most wonderful process and I can't say enough good things about it. On top of all of that, her artistry is simply amazing - you will really feel as special as you deserve to feel on your big day! She's simply the best in my opinion and I would recommend her to anyone! -

She made me feel special for my wedding day but she also made my mother and sisters feel wonderful too! Also, her henna and sugar spray smelled so fantastic! I really had no idea what I wanted my design to be and she was so patient and thoughtful. -

Bhavna did my henna for my wedding and my belly blessing. I also hired her to do henna during my wedding reception for my guests. Once she did one, I knew I needed her for the other jobs. She is amazing! Bhavna is creative and her talent comes naturally. I am not great with being decisive, so I let her decide my patterns. She didn’t just do what was convenient for her- she took the time to learn my personality and custom created a design that fit who I am. She allowed me to suggest uncustomary designs and incorporated them seem less LT into my piece. Bhavna is down to earth and non-judgmental. She is a wonderful listening ear (as a counselor, I think she would be great at my job!) She is absolutely professional, hygienic, and trustworthy. I highly recommend Bhavna on all fronts! Thank you so much- you have made my life’s most important moments better. -

Bhavna was a pleasure to work with from the beginning! She has a consultation with every one of her clients and makes the henna design based on what you like and what you don't like. She prepares you for the day perfectly and lets you know what you need to do and what you shouldn't do. Her henna is amazing and she makes the process so easy and relaxing. It was very nice to work with you and get to know you a little better! I would highly recommend Bhavna to anyone who is looking for a henna artist. Thank you again :) -

Words cannot express how amazing Bhavna is, both as a person and with henna. She is a true artist and you will not regret hiring her for your big day. She worked with me on a custom design, something she had never done before, and gave me the henna of my dreams! I will cherish the memories of my henna for years to come and it is all thanks to Bhavna for making it come to life. -

Bhavna exceeded my expectations for my wedding henna! She was extremely professional throughout the entire process. She provided excellent instructions on how to take care of my henna, what to wear, and even provided a care package at the end! My friends and family were amazed by the detail in her designs and my husband was so excited to find all the amazing elements she incorporated. I would highly recommend her to all of my friends and family. Bhavna also came the following day for my Sangeet; my bridesmaids loved their designs for the wedding!
She’s such a sweet human being and I loved getting to know her and talking to her the entire time. She even recommended some natural remedies for my mom’s arthritis, which have helped so much!! Book Bhavna for your special day, she truly is the best! -

Bhavna is a lovely person inside out. She is super creative and knows her art well. I have met her only once that too for my bridal consultation, yes she does offer one and it is complimentary! 😬
I love getting henna and honestly I loved a lot of inspirational designs online making it overwhelming for myself. But Bhavna helped out with that during our meeting and made the designing process so much easier. She patiently listened to the story I wanted in the design and came up with elements to incorporate. She took the time to recommend other vendors in case I needed other services for my wedding.
I’m so looking forward to her doing my henna. ❤️
P.S. Her home office space takes you back home in India. Did not feel out of place at all. ☺️
**************************Post Wedding review*************************
This review has been long overdue! On the day of Mehendi event, Bhavna came with her van full of equipment including chair for the bride, heaters, side tables, lamps, Henna kit, a gift bag for me and a shagun thaali for my mom. She said a small prayer before she started my henna which made me feel I was back in India with my family having a normal wedding. She played a very important role in bringing normalcy in my wedding away from family. So, thank you Bhavna for all the kindness!
Bhavna worked through those long 11 hours very patiently and the design came out exactly what she gave me at time of consultation. Please see pictures below. She gave me clear instructions and mehendi care balm (that smelled so nice!) to ensure dark henna stain. I received so many compliments from almost every guest that attended the wedding and I absolutely loved flaunting my henna for wedding pictures.
Words don't do justice neither to the artistry Bhavna possesses nor the pride she takes in her art. The level of detail and professionalism she demonstrated from the day I sent her email inquiring about her services to my henna day are unparalleled. So, she is not a "Mehendi Waali" but a true artist with immense talent and humility.
Lots of love and virtual hugs Bhavna! :) -

Epic Experience
I cannot say enough great things about Bhavna. Her artwork is just gorgeous. She is truly an artist and it shows. She makes her own mehndi which is amazing. The stain is deep and lasted for such a long time. Bhavna is the easiest person to work with, hands down. She was accommodating, flexible, and easy to talk to while maintaining every ounce of the professional she is. I was nervous about sitting with a stranger for so long, but conversation flowed and it felt like talking to a friend. Thank you Bhavna for all of your hard work, your flexibility, and helping to make some amazing memories for my wedding! -

Bhavna is an amazing henna tatoo artist. I found her on Instagram. Her work is amazing. She is super friendly and kind. She made me feel welcomed gave me marriage advice. She is really patient. I would highly recommend her. She did my henna for my wedding in September. I received so many compliments on my henna. If you are looking for a great henna artist for your wedding or any important ceremony I highly recommend her. She takes her time to bring out your ideas and vision on her work. -

Amazing Talent
Bhavna has amazing talent! My bridal henna was beautiful. Working with Bhavna was a pleasure. She's kind and attentive to all details. She understands exactly what a bride wants for her special day and makes you feel exclusive. Due to COVID I decided to do my mehndi one on one and she went from a stranger to a friend in minutes. It was a very enjoyable experience to prepare for my wedding. I look forward to working with her for other henna applications. -

So many wonderful things to say about this Amazing human, Bhavna. Before I get into her being a fantastic artist I want to get into her being a fantastic human. I have had my henna done by Bhavna a few times before. However there is nothing like getting your wedding Heena done. My experience with her was with such great care, understanding, friendship, and love. Sitting in a chair for long hours will make your entire body numb. But she is constantly checking on you to make sure that you are comfortable, if you need a break to take a sip of water or readjust your sitting position, feed you if necessary, and she will even help you when you need to go to the restroom. She is a woman filled with love, care, and light. The experience you have with her is well beyond the price of such magnificent artistry. With that being said She’s not an “Aunty” she truly is an Artist like no other henna artist. Recently she posted a quote from Picasso that read, “It took me 30 years to do that masterpiece in 30 seconds”. Bhavna is worth every single penny plus more. There is no copying, pasting or sticker layout on your skin before she starts your design. Everything comes from her mind and your skin is her canvas. She takes hours to create the perfect, custom design for you. But it’s truly an amazing sight to see her do her magic on your skin. We are all shaped so differently and our skin is all very different. Some people have sweatier palms, some people have really oily skin and Bhavna manages to make everything work and beautify your Henna. Bhavna prays over you to ensure you have a calming presence before your big day. As with many brides, the few days before the wedding can be extremely stressful. Bhavna makes your henna ceremony so special and stress free. Bhavna provided me with a needed water bottle to keep me hydrated, a personalized gift which included a jar of her homemade henna balm that smells divine and made my skin silky smooth, plus my husband could not stop telling me how good i smelled, gauze/ wrap to help protect my Henna and instructions that will make my henna last longer and provide an incredible, long lasting dark color on my skin. I was told that the darker your henna stains on your skin the more your husband loves you. My henna came out so beautiful and dark and i definitely believe that my husband’s love shows no bounds. Thank you Bhavna for taking such great care of me and creating my vision for my wedding Henna come to life. You matched perfectly Every single detail of my henna. Your work is sensational and you work so diligently. You made me feel empowered as an Indian woman and excited to share my culture with my Blasian husband. God bless your hands, back, eyes, and your magical spirit always -

Amazing artist and person - highly recommend!
First of all, if I could give Bhavna more than 5 stars, I would. She was so incredible to work with for my elopement earlier this month! The process was seamlessly done via email, and we arranged for her to come to my home - masks in place for all parties of course. I was not quite sure what to expect but Bhavna came prepared with everything she could need, made sure I was comfortable the whole time and even brought a new water bottle with a straw for me so I could stay hydrated during the lengthy process of bridal henna.
I had a few ideas of designs I wanted but after seeing her work, I let her lead the way. We discussed some particulars of what I liked and wanted incorporated in the designs and let her decide the rest. Her work is impeccable and the detail is beyond anything I have ever seen. My relatives in India commented on my photos, saying they cannot even get such good, detailed henna work done in Delhi, let alone anywhere else in India.
She provided me with a care bag which included instructions on how to care for the henna post application and beyond, homemade balm to apply on the stain, and gauze to wrap my hands and feet in when I slept. She left no stone unturned when it came to making sure my henna was perfect for my wedding day - and it was! Just make sure to follow her instructions. I could not recommend her enough if you are looking for bridal henna (or henna period)!
Oh also, she is the sweetest person ever! A joy to be around for hours :). -

Amazing experience
I met Bhavna Naik several years ago when I wanted to learn how to do mehendi as a hobby- I loved her work and her unique style of teaching so when I got engaged, I knew that I would want Bhavna to be my mehendi artist. She scheduled a consultation with me a few months before the wedding to get to know my husband and my story and find ways to incorporate elements of things that were important to us or told our story. On the day of the appointment, she arrived on time and provided instructions for after-care including leaving behind all the equipment I would need to make sure I had the best possible mehendi stain for my wedding day. Working with Bhavna Naik was awesome- she is very quick to respond to any questions or concerns, is very professional and really finds ways to incorporate each couple's personal story in her art. My mehendi was so intricate- I had people around the world wanting to know who my artist was and how amazing the stain looked. Thank you Bhavna Naik for making my day so special and for everything. -

My hands were the talk of the wedding!
Bhavna was responsive, on time, honest, and patient with me and my family. I appreciate that she doesn't use chemicals, and her mendhi designs were beautiful! She brought her own creativity to the designs and had helpful accessories for me during the henna application (for example, she helped me drink water with a straw). My henna was the talk of the wedding and I am still loving looking at it 3 days later (the photos here are almost one week after henna application). I guarantee you will be happy if you hire Bhavna! -

Lovely lady and great art!
I loved working with Bhavna!
She spent about an hour with me a few weeks before, getting to know who my husband and i were so she could customize henna for my day - lots of fantastic hidden elements and intricate work.
She and her family are also just great people in general and it was very calming to have her do my henna, especially the week of the wedding when things start to get more hectic. -

Talented artist and thought of every detail
Bhavna was excellent from start to finish! I was able to do a video conference with her before the wedding to talk through my ideas for my mehendi design. I am Chinese so I wanted a fusion of both Chinese and Indian designs to represent both my and my husband's heritage. It definitely was not an easy task to execute but Bhavna did an amazing job and had everyone raving about the unique elements, like the dragon and phoenix she customized for me.
Not only is Bhavna a talented artist, she is also very thoughtful on the day of the mehendi. She brought a space heater in case it got cold, an after-care kit, and a cup with a straw for me to drink out of. Not many people would include all that in their mehendi packages! She made me feel well taken care of the entire time.
I also liked that she and her team brought glitter to the sangeet for the guests' mehendi. It was a fun addition to the evening that made my guests feel special.
I would 100% recommend her to anyone getting married in the DC area and beyond. -

Beautiful Mehndi
Bhavna is a consummate professional and extremely talented artist. She created a beautiful and traditional design for my mehndi that included lots of hidden references to my husband. It turned out absolutely beautiful. Throughout my wedding, everyone kept asking to see my hands and feet because they could not get over how beautiful the stain turned out. I'm so grateful to have found Bhavna and would recommend her to anyone! -

I booked Bhavna for my mehndi over a year in advance of my wedding based on several recommendations. From my first communications with her, I could tell that she was going to be great to work with. If she wasn't available to get back to me right away, she would always acknowledge my communication and let me know that she would get back to me. She answered all my questions and was very flexible. I would recommend to take advantage of the consultation. It was so amazing to be able to have so much input into the beautiful artwork she created. Every time I saw someone during the wedding, they were so intrigued by my mendhi. I had this masterpiece on my arms and feet that had so many special meanings. Our families were especially touched by the hidden gems she put in for our parents and even my husband, cat, and dog. The process of the mendhi was time consuming (9 hours), but Bhavna made me so feel so comfortable. She talked me through all my nerves and was a pleasure to be around. She made this awesome care package for me. Everyone was super impressed by her art and the sample pictures that I have seen, the stain looked amazing. I had a second wedding the following weekend, I followed all her instructions and the stain still looked beautiful. I can't thank her enough for the amazing experience. -

When it comes to Henna, Bhavna is in a league of her own. She is seriously one of the most talented people I have ever met. Her designs are incredibly detailed and so thoughtful. She takes the time to get to know the couple so she can hide meaningful details in the Henna. She takes her work seriously and she is very meticulous. Henna takes a long time, and the best is that she is also such a pleasure to get to know and talk to, which means time passes by quickly. You would be lucky to have Bhavna do your Henna. -

Bhavna is a truly talented artist and an absolutely lovely person! I told everyone this as they complimented my mendhi - she was the first vendor I booked for the wedding. Even before the venue!!
I can't recommend her enough. She really took time to talk through the consultation with me, even though I completely trusted her and didn't feel too particular about design. She gave great guidance and had some really creative ideas to include in the design to incorporate the backstory and my husband's family. Her work speaks for itself. It's incredibly intricate and very clearly the work of an artist. In addition to all of that, she is such a sweet, wonderful, but assertive person, which is all great to have in the days before a wedding and at Desi wedding events! She comes prepared and also well-versed in making sure guests do not accidentally mess up the mendhi in the drying process while they are all greeting the bride - a difficult but necessary task!! She was very patient with me as well as I started to get very ansty and had a hard time sitting in one spot for 6+ hours! She was kind and accommodating though of my comfort while also making sure the mendhi itself got done. I can't say enough great things about Bhavna!

Bhavna is so talented and pleasant to work with-- she made my first mendhi experience an absolute dream! I was nervous about having to sit for so long going into my 8+ hours of bridal henna, but with company like Bhavna and her warm, endearing presence, I felt so relaxed and tension-free the whole time. It was magical and almost transformative-- it's so hypnotic watching her work. I am enamored with Bhavna's designs and her ability to scale her vision to fit on the body; I have really skinny arms, yet she fit so much on them! Many people at our wedding were absolutely amazed with my henna and had never seen anything like it before. I was honored to wear Bhavna's designs and I love the way she modernizes the tradition of henna while still honoring the craft. She is so knowledgable about the history and culture of henna-- I would recommend asking her to tell you about it while she works on you. She really thinks globally and her knowledge and skill are reflected in her art. Thank you so much Bhavna for the incredible experience!! I felt so beautiful on my wedding day because of your art! -

She not only did IMMACULATE and AMAZING henna, she also braided my hair for me so it wouldn't be a mess for the backyard BBQ my family had planned for the night! I cannot compliment Bhavna enough - she is one of a kind and I would not hesitate to hire her again! Someone from Bhavna's team also came on our Mehndi night and did henna for guests and everyone raved about her as well - I'm not sure of her name but if you contact Bhavna she'll know :)
