Hire Henna By Salma in Arcadia and Make your Event come Alive

The Halloween decorations are down and you regret not getting your kids henna tattoos in Pasadena when you decided to spend the holiday at your Mom’s across town. Who says it is too late? You can hire a henna artist in Arcadia just like in Pasadena. Better start looking now.

Let’s see why hiring the talents of a henna artist might be worth your while - 

Henna for All Occasions

The beauty of henna tattoos is that they make any ensemble come alive.

For your “Something New”

A lot of wedding parties in the country are taking their cue from traditional Indian weddings and hiring henna artists prior to the receptions. 

Why? Imagine a white wedding with ornate henna tattoos on the bride’s hands as she holds a bouquet of posies and walks down the aisle. And if she has a henna tattoo, the bridesmaids and best woman will be sporting their own tats too. Talk about a themed wedding. Think awesome wedding pictures. 

For Bar Mitzvahs and Bat Mitzvahs

 

Yes, parents even hire henna artists to celebrate their kids’ Bar Mitvahs. Festivities often ensue after the religious ceremony is over. Besides dancing and music, the celebrations sometimes include henna artists. The artists are especially popular at bat mitzvahs.

Make sure that the henna artists you hire make only use organic ingredients to make their own blend of henna powder. Stay away from henna artists who offer to “add some color” to bar or bat mitzvahs with either red or black henna. Any henna that comes in a cone isn’t organic henna paste. It is made from chemicals such as PPD, a chemical that is known to cause nasty abrasions on the skin if a customer happens to be sensitive to it; and which a lot of people are. You don’t want to explain to parents why their little girls are sporting rings of blisters shaped like the word “Mazal Tov” on their hands.

To Celebrate

 

The general purpose of henna is to celebrate. A henna tattoo can help a cancer survivor celebrate the fact that she conquered a disease that most people sadly don’t. It can help a bride celebrate her big day in style. But most of all, it helps you celebrate YOU.

Henna tattoos can add flair to any event. Of course, you can only get the most out of the art if you hire the right henna artist. Where? Let’s just say that you won’t find anyone who specializes in henna design in any store in Santa Anita Mall. But one thing is for sure; Henna By Salma in Arcadia is sure to make your event an instant hit.

There is More to Henna than just Paste

Henna paste may look like a regular brown dollop of henna powder and water but it is anything but. The paste is a complex mixture of henna paste and natural ingredients like lemon or olive oil. 

These ingredients have a dual purpose. For one, they bring out the medicinal quality of the paste. Secondly, they enhance the color of the mehndi (henna). 

 You need skin bling that has a bit of pizzazz, will last throughout the soiree AND really make your freshly manicured hands look good in wedding photos.

In fact, this is exactly why an Eastern bride’s hands enjoy a place of honor in her wedding album.   

Henna tattoos look more beautiful and elegant than permanent tattoos. The designs are also best left to the henna artist’s discretion. Of course, each artist also keeps her own portfolio of custom designs with her. It’s best that you stick to the designs on offer then try to be adventurous.

Like tattoo artists, the skills of a henna artist really shine through designs that she is used to applying. 

Much as you would like her to depict your palms as a dove in flight, its best that you choose what is offered.

And besides, when the artist is through applying her design, the result will be well worth it.

Why do weddings and henna go so well together? If you have ever attended an Indian wedding you might know that the event is hardly a one day affair.

 

 

 

 

 Henna tattoos last for Longer than you think

Hire a henna artist in your pre-wedding party for your guests. Henna tattoos dry off quickly. However, it’s best that you wash the paste off the next day. 

The longer the paste remains on your hands or any other part of your body, the longer the design will last. 








For a really great effect wash the paste off two days before the wedding. Henna tattoos take 1 to 2 days to really peak in color before they start to fade.  

Depending on the quality of henna paste, a professionally applied henna tattoo will last you a few weeks. 

 

Say NO to Black Henna

This article does NOT endorse black henna in any way. The same goes for red henna or henna that is made from anything other than natural ingredients. If you plan on using black henna , shame on you. However, if you are like the hundreds of growing henna fans who realize how dangerous the concoction can be and are ready to try some real henna, read on. 

Don't even think about forgetting the Bridesmaids

Bridesmaid's Designs

A wedding is almost impossible without bridesmaids so why leaving them behind in dressing up their hands and feet with unique art of henna.

Its always a unique idea to give the bride a surprise bridal shower, the custom that started in the 1890s. A touch of henna will add glitter to this shower.

Your Something Old and Something New

Henna tattoos have been a part of Eastern ceremonies for centuries. Their timelessness brings a touch of exoticism to any event. 


Your big day will hardly last as long as a traditional Eastern wedding. Wouldn’t your day in the limelight be more special as you walk down the aisle with a bouquet of daisies in your hennaed hands?

Turn that Frown Upside Down with a Henna Crown

Losing one’s hair is a devastating part of chemotherapy. Some patients even end up losing their hair permanently. Henna artists who are experienced in creating exquisite designs work to make the change a little less frightening and more empowering by drawing beautiful henna crown right on the heads of former cancer patients who have lost their hair due to the devastating disease.

The art is also a hit with people who suffer from Alopecia. Alopecia is an autoimmune disease that results in partial and in worse cases, total hair loss. It is the latter that is the most devastating as is to be expected. Henna crowns give their self confidence a much needed boost.

 

Provided that it is made with natural ingredients Henna paste is perfectly safe that is, unless it is black henna. Black or red henna comes in cones and contains harmful chemicals such as PPD.

You are not your hair Event-LA

If you are wondering, PPD is used in hair dye. Plus it has devastating effects on the skin if you happen to be allergic to it. Think of a blistering oozy henna design. The stuff is anything but 100% pure henna.

Make no mistake. If a henna design starts is pure black it has PPD in it. You can’t afford to have something like that on your skin especially after you just got out of a traumatizing experience like cancer. You do not need a doctor to tell you that.

However, it is still best that you consult with your doctor before you get a henna crown of your own. The art is equally recommended for patients who are still undergoing treatment,Only when henna artist use natural henna and water paste.

You Survived, you Conquered

A henna crown means so much more than a simple design that makes your scalp look amazing; it means that you are celebrating who you are and what you have been through. 

A Beautiful Scalp

It celebrates the fact that you have conquered a disease that might have ravaged your body, but never came close to breaking your spirit. 

Be a queen in your own right. You can turn yourself into a walking work of art by hiring a henna artist who always makes their own fresh henna paste.

Losing your hair due to cancer or any other reason is hard.

You have nothing to be ashamed of. Cancer or Alopecia might have taken your follicles but it will never dampen your fighting spirit.
