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.

I had low expectations for a free service, so I was completely floored by her design skills. I felt bad when I, being clumsy, smudged the paste while it was still drying but she was completely cool with it, said that it happens all the time, and had no problem fixing it. We sat outside at a park while she was applying the paste and a few passerbys stopped to compliment her skill and ask for her card. It's also super refreshing to meet someone who genuinely wants to share her professional-level, artistic skill with others!

I really appreciate that she told me everything she needed beforehand (I.e. nearby parking) so I could make sure the service went as efficiently as possible - especially since she traveled a long way. She was so easy to work with, used the ideas I had in mind and drew right on the spot. She used organic / homemade henna, gave me extra care items and provided great advice on aftercare to make sure the stain was as dark as possible and lasted. I ended up with a custom design of high quality. Received compliments non-stop and the henna stayed on for about 2 weeks. Would go for her services again :)
