If you're looking for an awesome Henna + Jagua artist in Oahu, check out Honolulu Henna! Carolyn is…read moresuch a cool, down to earth person and made it such a nice experience. It's easy to make an appointment via her website or messaging her directly if you have questions. She doesn't have a shop currently, but she travels around to meet clients at hotels, etc for the session. I got the sun + moon design and incorporated the Chinese character "明" into it as well (since its in my Chinese name) and I love how it turned out! My friends got a really sick looking turtle and floral + mystical design for theirs. Overall we love how intricate and detailed the designs are and how she was able to captivate and bring our visions to life through her work. She was super helpful as well with explaining how to care for the Jagua and how the process works. Definitely recommend booking your next Henna + Jagua session with Carolyn the next time you're in Oahu

She does mobile service and was able to accommodate as we were leaving the following day. She has such a great vibe, and we are very happy with our jagua tattoos.

Something that is becoming a bit of a lost art in Hawaii is getting custom surfboards for wall or…read morehome decorations. Before there used to be a lot of shops who made them but now there are only a few on the island. Surprisingly the one place I was able to find it for a wedding gift was a tattoo shop. The communication between the owners and me was excellent. I was able to tell him exactly what I wanted, he made five different variations of what I was looking for and worked around what I thought looked the best. The turn around was a week but it was well worth the wait. I could've maybe found something in Etsy for cheaper or just bought something from the ABC Store for a gift but a gift that is unique, made by a local artist and you can authentically say I got this from Hawaii is what I think made me decide to go with them and it did not disappoint. If you're looking for omiyage or a gift from Hawaii go to A Rainbow Studio. They will help wrap it up with bubble wrap if you're not a local or are going somewhere.

Panama did a wonderful job on my daughter's jagua tattoo. She chose the jagua instead of a henna…read morebecause she liked the darker stain it leaves compared to the reddish brown. Panama is a true artist. He freehanded his artwork before using the fruit "stain". He was very professional. In the very short time he created beautiful artwork on her hand. I suggest you see him or his fellow artist Yumiko. They are both fantastic! We saw the great work she did on other clients as we were waiting for my daughter's turn. He worked roughly 20 minutes on her hand. Super impressed! They have a variety of books to fit your budget and style. Panama also thoroughly explained what she needed to do to preserve the artwork. You will not be disappointed! Make sure you tip them! The artists' time and talent is unmeasurable! Mahalos Panama and Yumiko!

She was a joy to work with, and I am absolutely thrilled with how my henna turned out. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

The girl working tonight did say it was her third day on the job, but this is quite unacceptable. The patterns were very clunky and uneven. Parts of the design were smeared and messy.

Not to mention the henna design itself is excellent!!! I provided a few inspo photos, some motifs I wanted included, and let her freestyle the rest! It turned out even better than I imagined. Karissa works with you and the time you have -- whether that means thin vs. thick lines, heavy vs. light design (more whitespace), Karissa has it all covered. She and her colleague also did a great job for our guests! Very efficient, quick designs that everyone was so happy about. Overall, highly highly recommend Karissa and Henna Happens for your henna needs!

She also does travel around the island doing special events and occasional pop-up so keeping updated by following her is essential because she's simply amazing! I've been wanting some henna and with my work schedule it has been a challenge not to mention the pandemic has put a shift on some I used to see. Well I was fortunate to see her have another pop-up at Keep it Simple location in Waikiki another of my favorite place, she was just so comforting and calm I was instantly in zen though I was excited to finally have experience some of her spectacular art. She did have some binders filled with various images and prices which of course I saw several that instantly fell in love with but none struck my heart. Since she was still working with a few other guests I decided to glance at her Instagram and saw just what I wanted and knew it was it. 2022 will be four years since I lost my best best friend something I will never come to terms with and a Disney fanatic is an understatement and is not from Hawai'i but absolutely fell in love with the islands enough to move and settle here so with that she came up with my henna and gave her the freedom to do it all! She does have two types of Henna (brown/red color) and Jagua (black/navy color) I did mine with Jagua and reasons may vary so she will consult with you with what may work best. http://www.hennahappens.net is her site for any questions and appointment requests. Absolutely stunning art that gave me some peace and zen to celebrate the blessed life with a friend that's priceless. Thank you!
