Bridal henna can range from simple and elegant to simply extravagant. Prices reflect the density and complexity of the chosen patterns.
The prices listed are meant to be guides only. Final price may vary depending upon the specific wishes of the bride and an accurate quote will be given after a consultation.
For the "Less is More" bride, I charge $80 per hour. This includes light-density patterns for both palms and tops of hands and tops of feet. This rate also covers Sangeet / Night of Henna / Bridal Shower guests. Simple henna work may be charged per design (see "Private Appointments").
For medium-to-heavy density work, I charge a flat rate of $250 to $350. The complexity of dense henna patterns resemble lace gloves and stockings... very auspicious for this important occasion!
For parties, I charge one of two ways~
There is only one kind of henna, and when used for body art appears in a greenish paste and its stain on skin ranges in color from orange to reddish brown. If you come across anything labeled henna that stains black immediately or claims the black stain will last 3 weeks or more, it may contain a harmful chemical called para-phenylenediamine, or PPD. PPD is ILLEGAL to use on skin and can cause painful rashes, disfiguring scars, increased allergic reactions to safer black dyes (such as used to dye your clothes), to more serious conditions such as heart failure and life-long illness.
Most encounter "black henna" while on vacation in Mexico, Las Vegas, California, Hawaii and other beach locations. If you have had "black henna" applied in the past, DO NOT have it done again. "Black henna" is a sensitizer, which means the more you are exposed to it, the more likely you are to have a severe allergic reaction to it.
So please be warned. If it is not a greenish paste that stains reddish brown over time, then IT IS NOT HENNA!

$5 every 10 miles (one way) for locations outside Taylorsville, Utah. For long-distance travel (50 miles or more), I charge one-way fuel expenditure, 15 cents per mile and lodging, if required.
