henna body art

[tigi]

hi

I was wondering if anyone offers henna body art in their salon? I have always loved it and really fancy learning how to do it, I wondered if anyone on here offers it and if they give me advice?

thank you

I've dabbled with henna, but not done anywhere near as much henna as I have body painting.

But the one critical thing to be aware of is to ensure that you get genuine henna powder; there have been a lot of horror stories about "black henna", where henna has been adulterated with the black synthetic dye para-phenylenediamine, and people have suffered horrendous burns and allergic reactions as a result.

Would be really interested to hear how you get on though; would love to volunteer if you ever need any models for henna body art too

I did a course but the certificate ended up not being eligible for insurance.
I get my henna made up from Henna Tattoo, Hair Wrap and training by Bodydeco Henna Specialists or com.
