My Henna, Your Love Story

A beautiful union of tradition, artistry, and love— created just for your big day.

Hi, I’m Kaniz, and creating bridal henna is one of my favorite parts of what I do. Every design I create is a labor of love — customized to reflect your personality, your culture, and your story. I’ve been doing henna for over 30 years, and nothing brings me more joy than helping a bride feel radiant, relaxed, and truly herself through this beautiful, time-honored art.

What Makes My Bridal Henna Special?

  • Customized Just for You: Whether you want something traditional, modern, symbolic, or simple, I’ll work with you to create a design that feels meaningful and personal.

  • All-Natural Henna: I hand-mix every batch of my henna using only pure, natural ingredients — no chemicals, dyes, or shortcuts. It's gentle on the skin and gives a rich, long-lasting stain.

  • Rooted in Tradition, Made with Heart: My henna style blends South Asian, Middle Eastern, and contemporary influences — always with attention to detail and cultural respect.

  • Custom Storytelling: I love incorporating your story into my artwork using designs, symbols, initials, or motifs meaningful to you and your partner.


The Bridal Henna Experience

Bridal henna isn’t just about the final look — it’s about the moment. I aim to create a calming, joyful experience for you before your big day.

  • I usually recommend scheduling your bridal henna 2–3 days before your wedding so the stain reaches its deepest color.

  • You can come to my spa, or I can travel to your location (travel fees apply).

  • I offer free consultations so we can talk through your vision, browse styles, and plan timing. We can meet in person or virtually.

  • Most full bridal designs (hands + feet) take about 3–6 hours, depending on how elaborate you’d like it to be.

Want to include your bridal party? I love creating simple, beautiful designs for your friends and family, and can bring another artist as well.

Bridal Party & Henna Events

I also offer henna for your bridal party, friends, or family — whether it’s for a Mehndi night, bridal shower, or bachelorette party.
Want to host a henna gathering at my spa? I’ll create a beautiful, relaxing space for you and your guests to enjoy.

Every bride is unique, so I like to price based on your custom design and time needed. Here’s a general idea:

  • Bridal Henna Deposit: $150 to reserve your spot

  • Custom Bridal Henna: Pricing discussed during consultation

  • Guest or Party Henna: $150/hour, second artist $130/hour

  • Travel fees apply for on-site bookings

Aftercare Tips for the Deepest Stain

What to Do Why It Matters
Keep the paste on for 6–8+ hours. Overnight is best. The longer it's on, the richer the stain
Avoid water for 24 hours after removal Water stops the stain from deepening
Use balm or natural oils afterward Helps protect and enhance the color
Keep hands warm Heat helps the stain darken faster
