I held my mehendi party 3 days before my wedding ceremony. I was SHOCKED at how dark it came out by the time of my wedding! Swati is very professional and punctual. On the day of the mehendi party, she came, quickly set up, and got to work. My mehendi took around 7-8 hours to get done (hands up to the elbows, and feet up to a bit below the knee), and Swati did not complain once during that time. I was so impressed at how focused she was during the time. She is also very sweet and kind, and we had pleasant conversation while I was getting it done. I had asked her for peacocks at the top of my design, a paw print with my dog's name, told her I liked reverse negatives and a symmetrical design, but other than that I let her do whatever she wanted. I HIGHLY recommend it, she is a true artist and came up with the most beautiful and intricate designs. It was stunning. By the time of my wedding, it was EXTREMELY dark. I got so many comments (especially from the in-law's side of the family) that it was the darkest they had ever seen. I took extra care though to do the post-mehendi care and maintenance that Swati had recommended - it's well worth it (warming your hands on both sides over the stove, Vasoline and coconut oil, avoiding water, keeping it on overnight, etc). She had also applied a lemon mixture during the day of my mehendi to make it dark. It also lasted so long, it took almost a month for all of it to come off, and was still extremely visible 2 weeks after (especially the feet/legs) I cannot recommend Swati enough, she is amazing!

Swati is beyond. Beyond bomb! My niece arranged for her to do bridal henna plus henna for a group…read moreof women. She was on time, prepared with her kit of artistry, and the experience and professionalism just literally oozes off her. I learned that she honed her craft in Bombay (I can't bring myself to say Mumbai :-) ... and has well over a decade of experience. It shows because she absolutely knows what she's doing. Her demeanor and presence is not only confidence inspiring, she is a human well worth entrusting whatever body part you're giving yourself over for the henna package lol :) I had never ever in my 61 years, ever had henna done and was stoked, besides myself and excited to supernaturally epic proportions to get it done! I barely could sleep the night before and had no idea what it would be like. What I especially appreciate about Swati is her focus and of course, steady hand! She's not distracted nor casual about her process, she's conscientious and pays such close attention to detail ... she took the time to ask questions about what I wanted, and because it was my first time (henna virgin is how I referred to myself :-), I didn't have a lot of requirements, just a few. and during the process, she inquired several times to make sure I was gonna be happy. She also reviewed instructions plus a stack of her cards, on the back, gives clear directions for henna aftercare, which I followed to a T, and boils--below are photos immediately after the henna application, and also 18 hours (overnight) later! If henna is what you're looking for, Swati's your go-to :-)! Did I mention she comes to where you are?! I. Mean. Whatever could a girl ask for :-)?!

My friend found Amulya on Instagram, and I was blown away by her beautiful and versatile designs! We messaged each other on Instagram, got on a phone call, and we eventually settled on a date, time, and location for the venue. This was my first time hiring anyone I had discovered through Instagram, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but things turned out very smoothly. Amulya asked for a deposit via Venmo to secure the date- I paid the rest with cash. I had initially hired her to be at the party for two hours at a park, but she was VERY popular with the never-ending line of 20+ excited kids (and many adults!) who wanted henna on their both hands that we happily extended her stay to three hours! Amulya arrived on time, was friendly, and got to work right away. She applied intricate designs- flowers, circles, and all shapes of nature- as well as took on a few request (I saw a car on one of the boys' hands!). Happy daughter = happy mama! I recommend Amulya to anyone- she can take on a birthday party with the utmost efficiency, professionalism, and patience!!

She is a perfectionist and takes pride in her work which is very important when selecting a henna artist for your bridal henna. Be prepared that your wedding henna will take hours because she does not rush her work but perfects the details. She makes her own henna with essential oils and the stain came out the way I wanted. She was great with all my guests for Mehendi night as well down to the last guest. I would recommend her to anyone.

She's super speedy and can finish a full hand of henna in 5-10minutes max - which is BRILLIANT! I've seen her work at an engagement and a bridal party now and both times most of the people were very satisfied. She's great with kids too and adds glitter for them during evening parties as well. I posted pictures of the front and back of my hands as they looked 48 hours after the henna application. For the full hands on both the left and right palm she charges $25 and for the full hands + veils on the back of the hands = $40. It came out pricey, but the henna darkened really well the next day and I only had it on about 4 hours. My only reason for docking a star is that the henna I use is much thinner than what she uses. I think the thinner henna honestly looks a lot better once the color has set in. My hands looked gorgeous when the henna was still drying on them, but now that it's just the color, I'm not as happy with the design/style. It's all relative though depending on your taste, so you can see the pictures and judge for yourself :) She's definitely worth hiring if you're looking to throw henna party for a good price and get reliable and quick service to please all your guests!

This is several months late (sorry!)...Hiral did my henna last August…read more To say she is amazing is an understatement. Hiral did my Mehndi party and even did a separate day just for my hands and arms to help accommodate my crazy pre-wedding schedule. One of the things I love most about Hiral is that she is a true artist - I showed her a few photos, noting what I liked/didn't like, and she completely took it from there. I had looked at a few other henna artists in the Bay area, but they all seemed overpriced and of lesser quality (Hiral makes her own henna cones and gives great after care instructions). I'm so thankful Hiral was able to fit me in! In addition to being an mazing artist, I really loved Hiral as a person. To fit everything into our schedule, I ended up going to her house for my hands/arms. My mom (who was totally exhausted from all the wedding planning etc.) was going to nap in the car, but Hiral insisted that she come inside and nap on the couch. While my mom napped, Hiral talked me through what to expect in my upcoming wedding. As a Caucasian American having a Hindu ceremony (and all the events that come before it), I was completely overwhelmed at the time. Hiral was so sweet and kind - my mom and I still talk about how wonderful and calming she was - exactly what we needed in the midst of the pre-wedding chaos. Oh, and not to mention that she last-minute referred me to someone to get my dupatta draped and pinned (which it turned out I definitely needed - I had no idea that I would need it sewn into my hair!). I would 100% recommend Hiral!
