I had the absolute honor of having Roma do my wedding Mendhi--and she was hands down one of the…read morebest vendors I worked with. The Mendhi application is such a pivotal moment in the wedding festivities. It's really the first time as a bride you get to sit still, relax, and step away from all the planning and chaos. You physically can't do much, and that quiet time matters. Having Roma there made that moment even more special. She's sweet, calming, and genuinely fun to be around. She helped ease my wedding planning stress and made me feel completely at peace. The Mendhi smelled amazing, and you could feel the love she put into every part of the process. Her attention to detail is incredible--the design was flawlessly continuous from the front of my arms to the back, which is so hard to pull off. She was also so patient throughout. I'm so grateful Roma was a part of that moment. She brought beauty, care, and calm exactly when I needed it most.

My sister and I recently got our hands done for her engagement party. I'll start with the positive…read more Manu has very good technique and her henna smelled good because she infused it with lavender oil. I was happy with the design outcome. Unfortunately the negatives outweigh all that. She charges upper limit of henna artists $80/hour, which she claims she typically charges higher for bridal party. In addition, she counts from the time you sit down to the time you walk out. At the end of our appointment, she said she was going to charge my sister and I an extra $50 for additional 10 minutes over 3 hour mark! How ridiculous! She did not take into account when we used the restroom and when she took photos and videos of our hands (the latter for advertisement of her own business). I was furious and quickly rationalized with her that if she charges $80/hr every 15 minute block is $20. She had no argument against this but I was upset at myself later for even giving her the $20 extra because it was essentially like leaving her a tip since the whole 3 hours 10 minutes was not spent on the henna (as explained previously). Lastly, the design did not darken that much on either my sister or my hand even though we left it on for 5 hours. I felt especially bad for my sister as she had professional photos taken the next day and the henna did not turn out well. Manu blamed this on our "skin tone." Really? My sister and I are of Middle Eastern descent and have never had issues with henna in the past, which we've had several times in the past. The design lasted less than 1 week on my hands. It's funny because I work in healthcare field but I was off work so not washing my hands as much and yet wore off so quickly. She told my sister that this has never happened with any customers of hers for last 2 years, which I find hard to believe (side not there are not any other reviews here on Yelp yet). I will say that she had a plastic bag full of different individual henna paste and I am not sure how old they were or of different batch. Of course this is all speculation and I can't verify this but the reason I say this is because different parts of the design came out darker and it had nothing with "user error," as we kept the henna on for 5 hours as she recommended and then washed it off. I'm more upset about how she handled the situation when we complained making it more about herself than making the situation right. She said she'd give us $40 off minimum 2 hour session in future. So we'd have to spend $120 for another two hour session. Who do you think benefits more in this scenario?

I had my bridal Mehndi done with her and two days later it was already fading. Every other Mehndi…read moreartist I've ever used, the Mehndi that was applied gets darker, but this faded away even with following care instructions. Other artists apply after care for their clients instead of having them do it on their own for half the price of what you charged for this simple work that wasn't even symmetrical on both hands. Charging exorbitant amounts for this work that was called "complicated" when this, compared to other bridal Mehndi, is simple especially given that not even my whole hand was covered. Then she caused a scene in front of all my guests and argued about trying to overcharge and for listing one price on her website then trying to charge $200+ more than listed. I have seen her charge less for even more complicated bridal work. There is and was no excuse for the poor quality of this work. None of the Mehndi showed up in any pictures including my friends/family's Mehndi. Complete waste of time, energy and money using this artist. I will never recommend her again. If I could give 0 stars, I would.

Communication was quick and courteous, she was flexible with time etc. She works from home and welcomed me and my gal pal into her home lovingly. She was very detail oriented and patient, flexible with what I asked for and did a great job with the mehendi. I got both hands done, on both sides and it took a little bit over an hour for a simple design - not super complicated. Definitely give yourself time for mehendi - this isn't an activity you can rush. Anum's mum was around and was very sweet as well, she regaled us with fun life stories and kept us entertained. She even offered us dinner because it was close to dinner time - overall amazing family! It's been hard to find a good mehendi artist in the dmv area that wasn't super pricey and had availability when I needed it. Anum fit the bill nicely and I'll be happy to be back to her.
