Important information about henna:
HENNA: is an all-natural paste that stains the skin. Katie makes her own paste with the leaf of the henna plant, sugar, lemon juice, lavender essential oil and water. It is significant that Katie makes her own paste because many people simply do not, or do not know how.
DESIGN: You have two options for your design.
You may get an Artist Choice Special. This is when Katie free-styles your design intuitively and you get something original and custom. You get a work of pure one-of-a-kind art. Most people pick this option, trusting Katie’s artistic talent and enjoy the fun surprise at the end.
You may make a Custom Request. This is when you have a specific idea or theme for your piece and you tell Katie what to draw. You may submit reference photos before your henna session, but they are not required. All Custom Requests are done only with Artist approval. The Artist also reserves the right to take artistic liberties when creating your Custom Request.
AFTERCARE: Includes wearing the paste dry for 6 hours, then gently scraping off the henna paste, avoiding water for 24 to 36 hours, and protecting the stain with Katie’s Henna Balm, Oil Roller or Body Butter (upgrade available in store or online). The stain develops from orange to brown and following proper aftercare, stains last about 1 to 2 weeks. More aftercare details are available on the FAQs page, under “How do I care for my henna?”
