October 1, 2026Beautiful work, with some room for improvement
Her henna work was beautiful, she was quick, and she was wonderful with my guests. She arrived early, was respectful and professional, and even stayed late to make sure people were taken care of. I really appreciated the time and effort she put into the event.
There are a few things that could have made the experience better. I wish she had brought a selection of designs for guests to choose from, as nearly everyone ended up receiving essentially the same design. Her aftercare card also recommends applying a sugar mixture to help the henna remain in place longer and develop properly. Given how fine the lines were and that this was an event service, providing that as part of the service would have been helpful. By the following day, my own henna already looked as though I’d had it for about a week.
I was also surprised by the tip cup. As it had never been discussed beforehand, and because I was hosting and paying for the service, I specifically wanted my guests to feel that everything at the event was provided for them and that they weren’t expected to spend any money.
Overall, she is clearly talented and her work was lovely. I enjoyed having her at the event, but a few changes to the event experience and aftercare would make the service considerably better.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for having me at your event! I enjoyed celebrating with you and your guests and was happy to stay longer to take care of everyone.
I usually bring a printed design selection, but I didn’t have it with me that day. I showed most guests design photos on my phone and created the designs they chose, though I understand my usual display would have made browsing easier.
For aftercare, I skipped the sugar sealant because it can make the henna paste sticky while guests are playing games and participating in birthday activities. I explained this to many of your guests, but I should have gone over it with you as well, especially since my aftercare card mentions it. I use natural henna, so the initial stain is lighter and gradually deepens over the following 24–30 hours. Please feel free to send me a photo privately so I can take a closer look at how yours developed.
The tip cup was entirely optional, but I understand you wanted everything to feel fully provided for your guests. I’m sorry I didn’t check with you first, and I’ll confirm each host’s preference beforehand going forward.
Thank you again for welcoming me and sharing your feedback!

October 15, 2026Beautiful henna and such a lovely experience
My family and I had such a great experience with Ayesha! We loved her henna designs and were amazed at how quickly she worked while still getting all the little details right. Whatever design we picked, she recreated it beautifully with such clean lines. Honestly, this is the best henna I’ve ever gotten! She’s so friendly, professional, and easy to work with. We’d love to book her again!

June 26, 2026Amazing Designs & Wonderful Service!
Ayesha was fantastic to work with for ADSA 2026. Managing a large crowd of conference delegates can be tough, but she was fast, professional, and so engaging. Her designs were gorgeous, and our attendees were talking about them for the next three days. She was a massive hit, and we will absolutely be hiring her again for future events!

Ayesha did a beautiful job personalizing each henna while chatting with students/families during our AANHPI Heritage Month Cultural Celebration! Everyone enjoyed their professional hennas. She was timely, kind, and very communicative. We would love to have her back again!

April 21, 2026Perfect for corporate events – highly recommend!
We had Ayesha at our corporate event and she did a great job. She was on time, very professional, and handled a big group really well. The designs looked clean and she worked fast so there wasn’t a long wait. Everyone really liked it and it added a nice vibe to the event. Would definitely recommend her for corporate events.

What to expect
You can expect a smooth, stress-free, and joyful henna experience! With over 7 years of experience, I work super fast without ever compromising on detail or beauty. I’ll arrive on time, bring everything I need, and make sure you and your guests feel comfortable and cared for while getting their henna done.
I use 100% natural, high-quality henna that gives a deep, rich stain with the right aftercare. Simple strip designs usually take just 3 minutes, making it perfect for events with lots of guests. I love chatting, helping with design choices, and making sure everyone walks away with a design they truly love. Whether it’s a big celebration or an intimate gathering, I do my best to make it a fun, memorable, and beautiful experience.
