• Make sure that your skin is clean and free of any moisturizers and lotions. Shaving and waxing is recommended, even the finest of hair can be hindrance in smooth henna application. With that being said if you don’t prefer to remove hair for any reason, I will try my best to create a good design.

• Manicure and pedicures should be done in advance. At least two days before the henna application.

• Wear comfortable clothing.

• Fresh shower and come on in with a smile.

Henna Application and Aftercare

• Henna will get dry in 25-35 minutes.

• When it is dry, it can be sealed with medical tape.

• Henna should be kept on for 10-12 hours.

• When removing henna, please do not use water. Gently try to pick up dry henna form your other hand. Massaging olive oil /coconut oil can help loosen up tiny details of henna, so it will come off easily.

• After removing henna paste avoid water for strictly 24 hours.

• Also avoid detergents, cleaning chemicals, hand sanitizers, exfoliants, swimming in chlorinated water as they can fade henna faster.

• Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided during henna appointment.

Important

Please arrive with few reference images of the henna design you would like to have. Do not waste time by scrolling on Instagram at the time of your henna appointment.

Artist’s choice designs are the best where you give the artist the freedom to create best work intuitively. You can still give input on whether you like flowers, leaves, checkers, paisleys etc.

The 30 minute time slot can be divided within two friends for a medium sized design. Or within three friends for smaller designs.

Also try to be early so you can figure out the parking situation at The Unravel Coffee 10-15 minutes before your henna appointment.
