Alchemy is connected to a network of artists who use natural henna and will be happy to offer referrals. By sharing the location, we can refer an artist in your area.
A note about Bridal Henna: We strive to make beautiful body art for everyone we adorn. The minimum for this work is $200 for 1.5 hours of work. It is your special day and because the Alchemy name goes with our work everywhere you go, we do just do not rush bridal henna. If you intend to have a Bridal Application in addition to guest henna or Special Family Henna, please note this is not part of the hourly rate.

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.
