Introduction

Hello! I am fully insured Natural Henna Artist based in Louisville KY. I come to you for events. My henna is all hand mixed and chemical free and lasts for 7 to 10 days. I have been in business for 5 years but have been studying this beautiful body art for 7. I also have waterproof white body paint or glitter tattoos that can last up to 5 days. I like to offer these for guests who can't have henna for work or school at no extra charge. Children under 7 are encouraged to do body paint also. It dries almost instantly and will not risk being smudged A booking fee used to hold dates and times on my calendar is $50. This is credited to the full amount of the appt or event. It is non refundable, but can be credited to a future date once if needed to be rain checked. But you must request a rescheduled time 48 hours before your originally planned date or it is not available for a new date. Thank you for understanding Discount for travel. Travel costs are $10 per hour from the distance of my area code 40210 round trip. If you pay for your party/ event in full travel is free. Ex: 2 hour party ($240)+ 2 hours travel roundtrip ($20) = ($260) Normal booking $50 down to hold date and time. $190 remaining balance + $20 travel = ($210) due day of the event Discount only applies if the $240 is paid in full. Nothing is due day of and travel fee is free

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

unfold fold
My hourly rate is $120 an hour. 2 hour minimum for all parties.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

unfold fold
Email communication first. Send me ideas you have in mind and I can quote you how long it might require. For bridals my hourly includes 3 sketches that you would approve before the henna began. You can pick what works and what you don't like and then trust me to execute it. For parties I have set designs I bring for guests to choose from to ensure I stay in my hourly time frame. I will take some requests if time allows but doing designs off of phones slows me down.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

unfold fold
4 years of multiple conferences, learning from all of the top artists of the year. Henna Con in California, Henna Society in Connecticut, Henna Expo in New Jersey, East West Mehndi Meet in Budapest, Hungary.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

unfold fold
I was self taught for 2 years and then sought out advice from henna artists all over the world. I've been in business for 4 years and have traveled as far a Budapest to learn different techniques and styles of henna.

What types of customers have you worked with?

unfold fold
Every age, race and gender. I work festivals in the warmer months and then work hourly parties throughout the year. birthday parties, mehndi parties, bridal, maternity, cancer patients going through chemo. I teach lessons at libraries and art centers as well

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

unfold fold
I love working for non profits when I can afford to. I work almost every month at a girls home for troubled teens and I get to share my henna with them. They're always super appreciative and it makes my whole week.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

unfold fold
Always ask if it's homemade. anything store bought will have unsafe preservatives that can cause health issues and sometimes permanent scarring. Never get Black henna. it's the same chemical they use in black hair dye.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

unfold fold
how long have I been practicing my art. How much prep time it takes to make fresh henna before each appt.
