You might be surprised to know that the palms stain darker and last longer than the tops of the hands. 

Because science: you have an extra layer of skin which protects the hand from interactions with the world. Consider getting henna on your palm - it's traditional, and even though it takes extra care, it's so satisfying.

Reservations are easy to make online www.alchemyhenna.com

Our Brides are a little Traditional and little Modern

Brides usually find their way to Alchemy with a friend to get their henna: it's beautiful, peaceful and unrushed. Sometimes a bride elects to come on her own for the quiet time, using a ride service to protect her henna.

For brides who want more extensive henna or hennaed feet, we can travel to you: 

Here are the FAQ for us to travel out of the studio: time minimums, travel expenses and mileage and other information.

Can Children Get Henna?

At Alchemy you can bring Mom, Grandma and the kids... Alchemy might not be the best place for toddlers to explore, but school-aged children are welcome to join in the henna appointment. 

Our henna is made fresh: henna powder (from the leaf of the henna plant), water and essential oils - we avoid citrus oils (the most likely culprits for sensitivity) - and we can make the paste with just Lavender (considered safest for young skin).

Doing henna with my own little children (now teens) is actually how I fell in love with the process and beauty of henna. You sit still. You talk quietly. And you create memories together.



CAUTION: Not all henna is made equal and there are products on the market that are labeled henna that may have additives you don't want on YOUR skin - and certainly not on a child. If you put 'black henna' in your favorite search engine, you'll find many examples of chemical burns and scars caused by these products. Your henna artist should know exactly what is in her paste and be open with the ingredients - if the package is pre-labeled or from a shop - it's probably not safe.



(Regarding sensitivities: Alchemy is NOT a nut free space and our henna is prepared in a home which uses tree nuts regularly).

Something you do for yourself!

Henna can be provocative and personal. Publicly displayed or privately in the home.

It's what you want it to be. And the Alchemy studio is a beautiful respite from the Real World -

We work with event planners and businesses to create custom natural fragrances

We've been so fortunate to work with local event planners to create scent-based added value for events - a gift for Lululemon's Breathe It All In event, a Nosquito Spray for a dinner in the garden, and a custom fragrance that evoked the spirit of salons of New York - Take Me To Bleeker. 

Want something special for your guests?

Please get in touch! We can send you the prospectus and work together to create a botanical fragrance that will enhance the experience of your event.
