Overview

Hello all! We are back for henna but (unfortunately) face painting has been put on hold for a yet-as-determined date.
Due to covid and the fact that Multnomah County was the last to allow Phase I, we had to shut down at the beginning of March and leading into the busiest part of the year but are now taking appts. for personal henna appts. in our studio and potentially parties and events with all safety measures in place.
Our studio is open by appointment only and can only accomodate 1-3 people at a time.
Please contact us for your henna needs, and yes, we do sell our handcrafted, authentic henna cones!

Outstanding!

We hired Glitter Ruby for our community Diwali party (lots of kiddos). She was such a hit! The little ones loved their glitter tattoos, and it wasn't messy for them at all, which the parents loved. Her henna was also a hit. There was always a line! Thank you, Glitter Ruby!

We had Glitter Ruby come for 2 hours to our company picnic and she was AH-MAZING!!! Children, young and old, loved her! There was a line at her booth for the whole time she was with us. Everyone walked away happy. I am still seeing glitter tattoos around the office today! (3 days later) Thank you for being AWESOME Glitter Ruby!!!

Great for a party!

Sam did an amazing job entertaining 10 kids around 11 years old - they were all super excited and had a great time. Sam was friendly and engaging and everyone had a wonderful time!

Carnival Highlight

I hired Glitter Ruby to do henna for a middle school carnival. She was a great addition to our event and the students and families absolutely loved her. She was prompt, professional and affordable. I will most definitely be hiring her again next year. Hopefully she is available. Thank you, Sam Bones!

Sam came to our Employee Family Day BBQ and provided beautiful henna. She had great designs and the henna lasted for quite a while. Teens and adults really enjoyed having her there!

Review of Glitter Ruby's Henna and Face Paint

Sam Bones is a true artist and did beautiful henna work for our event held on July 1st, 2017. People raved about their henna tattoos and lined up to the point that she had to stay longer than anticipated. Sam offers a complimentary service of providing the guest of honor (in this case our daughter) with a special henna tattoo that they can get before the event so that they can fully visit and participate with all the guests. The event was celebrating our daughter's Bat Mitzvah and she asked Sam to create a design using her Hebrew name. Sam took on the challenge and created a stunning design. We were grateful for her service and would recommend Glitter Ruby's Henna and Face Paint to others!

Sam does wonderful work

It was a pleasure to meet & do business with Sam. She is very pleasant, warm & professional as well. She made the bride feel very comfortable & kept her entertained as well as apply henna on both her arms & hands. She did a great job & everyone was pleased with her work. The bride got a lot of compliments as well...
Thank you soooo much Sam & it was truly a pleasure meeting you!

Fantastic!!!!

Sam and her team provided amazing service for our Company picnic! They did face paint, Henna and Balloon Twisting. Actually, when I told her I wanted a Balloon Twister, which isn't a part of her normal package, she arranged to have one of her contacts join. I didn't have to do a thing!

She was wonderful to work with while planning the event. Always very responsive, on time, and the art was amazing! They were the biggest hit at the event and we will use them for all our future events as well.

Cannot say enough good things! If you book with her, you will not be disappointed! 5 Stars all around!

Graduation Party Was a Hit!

The artist, Sam, was wonderful to work with from the initial set up months before the event and throughout the all night graduation party. The graduates loved, loved, loved her artwork and she had a very easy going and sincere personality that made her interactions with the students positive. She loves what she does and takes the time to educate each person on henna and the care needed to ensure it's enjoyment for as long as possible. I would HIGHLY recommend her for any event. Thank you!

Sam Bones is the best in town!

I have been working with Sam for over a decade and her talents can't be beat. It may be henna wings for Burning Man, or a Mardi Gras mask for a masquerade party, or whatever random project I ask her to try on me, she always delivers with professionalism, enthusiasm and helpfulness.
She is very fun and talented and by far my favorite henna artist. In addition, she uses quality materials, has concerns about safety and seeks out the best sources for sustainable, organic henna ingredients. Her face paint is also high quality, is easy to wear and lasts for a long time. I highly recommend her for both family oriented events as well as more fringe and challenging projects.

Great experience!

I really appreciated her coming to the quinceanera last minute. Very easy to work with, super nice, showed up early enough to start on time & the teenagers really enjoyed it. A lot of them didn't know what it was and were really excited about getting henna done once I told them. It was a great addition to the party.

Awesome Job!

On behalf of Sam Bones of A La Henna Body Art, I want to recognize her as Awesome! We met Sat at a Girl Scout rally where she was introducing her Henna. I decided to have a Henna party for my niece's birthdays. She put together a package for us with everything we would need including excellent directions. There were 8 girls and myself. We were up until 1 AM having so much fun with out tattoos! We are looking forward to another party. We live at the coast so we may come to Portland next time and we will then have Sam host our party so we can have even more exciting tattoos! She is very fun and devoted to making everyone have a wonderful time. That's no problem - Try it!

I would hire Sam again in a heartbeat!

My daughter had her face painted by Sam at our local National Night Out event. I thought Sam's paint job was fantastic, and I sought her out to come to my daughter's 7th birthday party. Sam arrived on time, had a great rapport with the kids, and her creations were absolutely beautiful. Every parent at the party thought having a face painter was a fabulous idea. I would definitely hire Sam again.

An A+ Artist that comes highly recommended

I have an entertainment company and execute a large amount of events per year. It is difficult enough to keep all the events in order and I steer away from any artist that creates "noise" by not acting professional, showing up late, or that provides an inferior quality of art. Sam Bones has worked with me for over 13 years. She is punctual, completely reliable and a great artist. I recommend her for any event you might have.
