I just got mine done today, and I am 100% happy! Kendra is the owner and designer of Crescent Moon Henna. If you go to the website, you can see her work. Her works looks like it's more hands and feet, but she will do work anywhere you ask her to. I had my henna on my leg. She is also by appointment only, but she's extremely flexible about meeting you. The best part is that she comes to your house, which is wonderfully convienent! I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted, so she brought some design books and had me show her what kind of things that I liked. Then she customized the design for my leg. It is wonderful and exactly what I wanted! But she can also work from any pictures that you give her, so if you have something specific she's the perfect person to call. She is also professional, prompt and friendly. She took care to make sure I was comfortable while she worked on me. I'm very happy and will most certainly be calling her in the future. read more

Kendra provided henna to guests during my wedding. She did wonderful work! She had a full line at all times it seemed during the night. She was able to work efficiently while still completing beautiful work! I had so many compliments from my wedding guests. Thank you again Kendra!!! read more

Kendra's work is absolutely beautiful. Her Henna is not the "cheap and quick" kind you find offered at so many festivals and events. If you are lucky enough to have the chance to get some of her art on your body, I promise you won't regret it. Not only is her artistic talent unparalleled, but she mixes her own Henna and the quality is superior, and non-toxic, unlike most of the Henna you come across. I trust her to give Henna to my kids as well, they love it! read more

I absolutely LOVE Kendra's beautiful work!! I really appreciate that I can come to her with a few ideas I want incorporated into a design and she makes them all come together like a true work of art. She also gives good direction on caring for it after you leave. Because she makes all her own henna it smells really good and I've never had a negative reaction on my sensitive skin like some of the low rate ones. Amazingly fast too for how beautiful it is and all at a great price! Can't recommend Crescent Moon and Kendra enough! read more

Kendra is the best! Very professional and patient with my many questions about Henna. I will definitely call on her again for all my Henna. I love the all natural Henna she uses. I'm very pleased with the final product! read more

Met Kendra at the Lincoln Square festival about a month ago and had her work her magic on the inside of my right arm. My henna was a gorgeous design of some long vines with some smaller leaves. I wish I would've taken a photo of it! It lasted over 2 weeks and I got so many compliments from friends and complete strangers as well! One week after Kendra did my henna, I saw her at the Pilsen Taco Fest and stopped by to say hello. She totally remembered who I was. She is extremely talented, passionate and is truly an artist! Highly recommend and will be calling her in the future for special events! read more

Loved the Henna that Kendra did for me! She is a true artist l! I didn't want anything specific and gave her artistic freedom and she did not disappoint!

She has an appreciation and knowledge of henna and its origins. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Kendra is an amazing henna artist!

I contacted Kendra while I was in Chicago for a conference. I had been wanting a henna tattoo for years and figured "when in Rome."

I will definitely call her again the next time I am in Chicago! read more

Kendra did henna for us on my pregnant belly, one friend's hands, and another friend's feet. I assumed it would be fun, but I didn't know how much fun it would be. I had never had it done before, and it was great experience. She was very friendly and a pleasure to chat with while she quickly worked. Her work was gorgeous, and she did it freehand with a design she had contemplated the night before. She recommended an asymmetrical design as my little dude was noticeably lying on the left. All of the designs looked stunning, and I received many compliments while in labor from the nurses. Prices are reasonable and she gives clear aftercare instructions. read more

I first got some work done by Kendra a year ago something simple but loved as it was my first ever henna. My 30th rolled around and asked if she could meet us at the lake and do some work for my guests and I. She truly is AMAZING. With 15 years of experience her work is worth every dime. I asked her to come for 2 hours and she was able to do 9 people with grand designs and with time to spear. She's great with kids as I had twins age 4 there and answered the million questions that they had. My guests and I all were happy with her work. read more

Truly an amazing experience to wear an original piece of art work from Kendra!!! She is remarkably knowledgable about all things "henna" and makes her own fresh henna paste, that leaves a very rich dark stain!!!!

It was close to 7pm and I had been searching on Yelp for a Henna artist that could take four girls at this time of night. I came across Crescent Moon Henna and called. During our conversation she said to book it her was 30 minutes for $50 and I was satisfied with our phone conversation and with the fact that she was really nearby (at the Starbucks on Kedzie and Wilson). All four girls excited. As soon as we arrived, Kendra Williams, came in with an attitude. She rudely began to explain what she was going to do suddenly putting all these limitations of what she would do. When I began to ask questions she answered back rudely and continuously rolled her eyes. I was taken aback by her rude demeanor. Had I known her lack of professionalism I would not have wasted my time. The four excited kids had to be subjected to her rude behavior and on top of that had their excitement taken away. I don't recommend her at all. Customers do not deserve to be treated that way, especially when I had called ahead of time to book her. It's not like I was getting free service, I was going to pay the amount she had requested to meet her up and I believe I deserved to get the appropriate service and not treated like a nuisance. It's her loss because tomorrow I'll take my service elsewhere, where it's appreciated. Her Instagram, by the way is kendrahenna (which she gave to me before heading her way). She needs to work on her people skills or at least her sense of decency towards a customers. read more

This woman is LAZY and SELFISH!!!!!!! (please read...) I've been very interested in getting henna for a while now, but never really went out of my way to do so. When i saw her henna booth at the Edgewater art fair this past week, I sprung for the opportunity. On both of my wrists i have unfinished tattoos that I've been meaning to get outlined in fire and water. I looked through some of her example designs (she's mostly exhibiting other people's work with her design books rather than her own...) and found a design that seemed suitable as an outlining aura for the tattoos. I explained to her that I had been thinking of finishing the tattoos with some sort of tribal-styled fire, and that the design in the book would be a perfect henna-styled alternative if she could do some very simple and minute tweaking. She said she could do it FOR 40$!!!!!, and sounded very short to the point and in-personable. we agreed on 30$, seeing as my tattoos are only about 3 inches each. (that's still pretty pricy for some simple henna, but i agreed seeing as she had the extra expense of the booth) Within a minute of her starting the henna on my skin, I had to stop her because she was doing what i would describe as a "child-like" fire design. I stopped her and said that wasn't at all what we had discussed seconds earlier, and she got defensive and copped an attitude, saying "well you said you wanted fire..." If she had been less impatient and a little more personable, she would have easily understood what i was saying. I went back to her example book and explained to her again what I had meant. She then proceeded to hurriedly copy the portion of the design I had pointed out, without adding 1% of her own artistic touch (may i remind you, she was promoting another woman's henna). Within 5 minutes she said she was done, though I wasn't nearly satisfied. When i asked her to add some very simple touches to fill some blank spaces, such as some dots and pointy flares, she again got an attitude and shook her head at me, while muttering something under her breath. After hastily finishing in about 30 more seconds, she said she was done, and gave me a look that basically said "...wether you like it or not..." I was very disappointed with this woman's attitude and artistic ability. In my mind, someone who supposedly "specializes" in such a divine art-form should mirror that with an elevated, and admirable personality. In my opinion, if you are looking for beautiful henna from an authentic artist, go to one of the numerous artists on devon avenue in rogers park. That's definitely what I'll be doing next time.... read more

I want to start by saying Kendra's skill set in unparalleled! We hired her for our daughters birthday party. We were quoted a 2 hour minimum & a trip charge since my home was about 25miles from her... not a problem, we agreed & were excited for her arrival. All of the children getting Henna art were between the ages of 11-14, with the exception of two 6 year olds. I loved that her products were all natural which is important to me. Unfortunately, I kept having parents & some kids come to tell me how rude she was when they were asking questions about dry time, etc. I get it, getting the same questions asked over & over can get frustrating, but this was a family party, everyone was polite & listened to her instructions. I didn't want to pass judgment so I decided to sit for art myself. Again, amazed by her skill, but her etiquette was rude. I was extremely accommodating to her, overlooked her arriving 35 m late (rain +traffic) provided the blow dryer for dry time, extension cord for her table light, provided a secluded work space etc. In my personal opinion I would only recommend Kendra for adults, which is a shame because every child's parents at the party wanted to book her for future parties until they had dialogue with her. Great skill, just not a positive experience for us. read more

I've been wanting to do a henna tatoo for awhile now. A major birthday is coming up so I decided to treat myself. I had several conversations through FB with Crescent Moon and they were very helpful & professional. We ended up meeting at a local place and I brought my daughters. One 16 & the other 5. After going through some designs and picking out something simple I was told that there would be time left over in my session that I had booked so my oldest could have one done also. Both highly satisfied with the work that had been done & also booked an at home party too. The little one even received a lil' heart on her hand. Kendra had a great personality & look forward to meeting with her in the future. Its was a great bonding experience with my girls. read more
