How many people in an hour?
I'm pretty quick! I can actually do 12-15 $10-sized hennas in an hour... the henna examples below take 3-5 minutes to do.
However, I am happy to work with you as the host to plan the pacing and experience you want for your guests. It is possible to do 15-20 $5 hennas in an hour. If you scroll to the bottom, I set up a gallery with samples.
I have a quick conversation with your guest and design for them - this is the quickest way for each person to get lots of henna. We do not typically bring design options as this slows the pace of the event. Designing a piece for each guest is quicker.
A second artist is sometimes more economical than more hours if you have a very large party.
