March 31, 2026Barbara was great to work with. She is a very talented henna tattoo artiste, no doubt. But beyond that, she has a wonderful energy that lights the room. We engaged her for an event with teenagers and she was GREAT with them - now, THAT is something you cannot simply teach someone.
Will certainly engage her services again. :)

February 21, 2026Barbara is THE BEST!! I hope to never have to hire anyone again. She went above and beyond, came early to set up, did non stop faces and arms and hands on adults and kids for like 5hrs- non stop!!! She has an amazing joyful personality and is so multi-talented! OMG! She can do anything and the community looked gorgeous by the end of the day.
