Everything you might want to know before booking — duration, pricing, aftercare, and what to expect at your appointment.
Natural henna stain peaks 24–48 hours after application and typically lasts 7–14 days, depending on aftercare and skin type. Stain darkens over the first two days as the dye oxidizes, then gradually fades as your skin exfoliates. Hands and palms hold colour longest; arms and feet fade slightly faster. Avoiding water for the first 24 hours after removal and applying natural oils helps extend wear.
Book bridal henna 4–8 weeks before the wedding. For peak season (May–September), Eid-season weddings and Saturday dates, aim for the 8-week end — those slots fill fastest. A full bridal hand-to-elbow session takes 4–6 hours, so booking early secures both the date and the time block you need.
Bridal mehndi pricing depends on coverage (hands only, hands and feet, or full hands-to-elbow with feet), design detail, and whether you add a trial or guest henna, so every booking is quoted individually. WhatsApp or text +1 587-700-4244 with your wedding date and the coverage you want, and Arooj will send you a personal quote.
For the darkest possible stain, exfoliate the area gently 24 hours before your appointment and skip moisturizer on the day of application. Avoid waxing or shaving the same day. After application, leave the paste on for 6–8 hours minimum (overnight is ideal), avoid water for 24 hours after removal, and seal with natural oil. Heat — like sitting near a warm room — also helps deepen the colour.
Yes. My specialty is 100% natural henna, and I also offer jagua and glitter henna. Natural henna gives the rich, traditional reddish-brown stain; jagua is a fruit-based gel that leaves a darker blue-black, tattoo-like stain; glitter henna is a sparkly, temporary look for parties and events. Message me with your date and the look you want and I’ll suggest the best option.
A full bridal henna session typically takes 4 to 6 hours, depending on design intricacy and coverage. Hands-only sessions run 90 minutes to 2 hours; hands and feet around 3–4 hours; full bridal (hands-to-elbow plus feet) 4–6 hours. Plan for the session 1–2 days before the wedding so the stain has time to darken to its peak colour for photos.
