How long does henna last?

Natural henna typically lasts 1-3 weeks depending on skin type, aftercare, and location on the body. Palms tend to give the darkest stain and last longest. The color develops fully within 24-48 hours.

How is pricing determined for bookings?

Pricing is finalized based on coverage, design complexity, event type, and requested add-ons after your booking request is reviewed.

Do you travel for events in Singapore?

Yes, we provide mobile henna services island-wide in Singapore. Home visits, hotel appointments, or venue services - we come to you. Additional charges may apply for hotel/chalet locations.

Is your henna safe for sensitive skin?

We use 100% natural henna included by default with all services. No PPD or chemical additives - completely safe for all skin types. Jagua Henna is also available but requires a patch test (allergy disclaimer applies).

What types of henna do you offer?

We offer Natural Henna (brown stain, included by default), Jagua Henna/Gel (dark brown/blue stain, additional charges apply), and White Henna (bridal only, actual-day events, not wudhu-friendly).

How far in advance should I book?

For bridal henna, we recommend booking 2-3 months ahead. Custom designs must be requested 2-3 months in advance. For parties and events, 1-2 weeks notice is usually sufficient. Last-minute bookings are welcome subject to availability.

Do I need a deposit to confirm?

Yes, a non-refundable deposit is required to secure confirmed slots. Deposit terms are shared during booking confirmation.

Perfect for home settings. 1 henna artist for 2-3 hours. Everyone gets detailed designs and personal attention.

Large (30+ guests)

Venue events, corporate functions. 2-3 artists for 4+ hours. Quick, beautiful designs for all guests.

Henna Party Theme Ideas

A cohesive theme makes your party feel more special and photos-worthy. Here are some popular themes in Singapore:

Boho Chic

Earthy tones, macramé, dried flowers, and floor cushions. Think cozy and Instagram-worthy.

Terracotta, cream, sage green

Rich jewel tones, lanterns, gold accents, and luxurious fabrics. Exotic and romantic.

Deep purple, gold, teal

Venue Options in Singapore

Home Celebrations

Most popular and budget-friendly. Create cozy seating areas, good lighting for henna application, and a dedicated photo corner. HDB flat or condo - both work great!

Function Rooms

Condo function rooms, community centers, or hotel meeting rooms. Great for medium-sized parties with easy setup and cleanup.

Restaurants & Cafes

Many Singapore eateries offer private dining spaces. Food is sorted, and the ambiance is already set. Perfect for a fuss-free celebration.

Outdoor Venues

Gardens, parks (with permit), or rooftop spaces. Beautiful backdrops but plan for Singapore's weather - always have a rain backup!

Fun Party Activities

While guests wait for their turn with the henna artist, keep the energy up with these activities:

Henna application (of course!)

DIY henna cone decorating

Photo booth with props

Traditional music and dancing

Henna design guessing game

Gift opening ceremony

Blessing or well-wishes for the bride

Food and drink tasting

Food & Refreshments

Keep the menu finger-food friendly since guests will have fresh henna on their hands! Popular choices for Singapore henna parties:

Savory Options

• Satay and skewered bites
• Curry puffs and samosas
• Mini sandwiches and wraps
• Finger foods on toothpicks

Sweet Treats

• Kueh and traditional sweets
• Cupcakes and petit fours
• Fresh fruit platters
• Ice cream or gelato bar

Tips for Booking Your Henna Artist

Book Early

Popular artists get booked months ahead, especially during wedding season.

Share Guest Count

This helps determine how many artists and hours are needed for everyone to be served.

Discuss Design Styles

Share inspiration photos so the artist can prepare designs that match your vision.
