Beautiful, hand-drawn henna designs created using natural henna paste mixed from safe ingredients

With almost a decade of experience, I offer freestyle and bespoke designs for a wide range of occasions. My work combines attention to detail with a creative, personal approach, resulting in designs that can be intricate, expressive, sentimental, and tailored to your personality.

Henna leaves a gorgeous natural deep brown stain, with designs typically lasting around 7–10 days depending on placement and aftercare.
