August 5, 2026Barbara was an absolute pleasure to work with from the very second I booked her! She called me immediately to introduce herself, tell me about the different services she had to offer, her style of henna and what to expect day-of, as well as communicated what she needed from my end (a table, 2 chairs, and some shade). She also double checked to confirm the address and logistics of my event to ensure smooth arrival and set-up. Barbara arrived early on-site to get set up and even came with different options for table decor.
I had close to 60 people at my event and booked Barbara for 2.5 hours so I was worried there wouldn't be enough time for everyone that wanted to get a tattoo to get one, but Barbara was able to get the job done, producing absolutely gorgeous henna designs and glitter tattoos.
Beyond her phenomenal designs, Barbara's warm demeanor and attention to detail make the tattooing that much more of a memorable experience. A guest had even told me that Barbara noticed a bracelet she was wearing which was dedicated to her late husband, and without saying much, Barbara had designed her henna around the bracelet/its colors, and even gifted her a tube of healing oil after.
Thank you, Barbara, for truly going above and beyond! :)

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.
