FAQ for Henna
Appointments at Beachcombers Bazaar
What to expect when getting a henna tattoo at
our
shop in Orlando Florida by me, Jody.
.JPG) When can I make a
henna
appointment?
We accept appointments for henna at the store...
Tuesday - Friday 10:30 - 5:30
Saturdays 12:00 - 3:45
Walk-ins are welcome, time permitting.
If your henna is for a special occasion, it's best
to schedule your henna two or three days before your event
for the best color of your henna tattoo.
Henna appointments are scheduled via phone
407-236-7878 or
email.
How much will it
cost?
Henna designs start at $15. Depending on the
size and intricacy of the design, the price goes up
from there. Most people select a design in the
$20-$25 range which gives you a nice sized design. I work within your specified budget
to create your custom henna design.
What kind of henna
designs can I have?
I do henna a bit differently than many henna
artists. I don't hand you a book where you
select the henna design you want. I like to
work with you and draw from your energy to give you
a custom one-of-a-kind henna design. You are
welcome to bring in a specific design for me to
recreate in henna or to draw inspiration.
Does henna have to
be on my hands or feet?
Of course not! Henna takes best to the hands and feet,
but can be done anywhere on the body. Back,
shoulder, tummy arms, legs, wherever!
The
hands and feet take the color best and the further
away from those areas the lighter your stain.
At the
shop, henna is done out in the open so you want to
select a part of the body that you don't mind
exposing in the store.
 How long does it
last & what color will it be?
The color and longevity of henna tattoos varies by a
number of factors including how long you leave the
henna paste in contact with your skin, what part of
the body the henna decorates, how clean and oil-free
the area is, your skin chemistry, and how you care
for your henna tattoo.
Your henna will start off an orange color. It
will continue to cure over a couple of days
darkening to a brown or reddish brown color.
The hands and feet will give you the darkest color.
The further away from these areas you get, the
lighter your henna stain.
 Normally,
you can expect 5-10 days of pretty good color and
after that the henna is fading. Your henna
tattoo is typically gone in 1-3 weeks. Your
best color is 2 or 3 days after the henna is
applied. After that, the skin cells will start
exfoliating away "fading" your henna tattoo stain.
Keep
in mind frequent hand washing or dish washing will
make your henna tattoo disappear very quickly.
Swimming will really make it disappear quickly.
The life span of henna is shown with this foot henna
design. The picture of the "black" henna is
the paste still on the skin. The orange henna
tattoo is the stain just after paste removal.
The darker red brown henna tattoo is the final
stain, two days after the henna design was done.
 Can I see samples
of your work?
Sure! Check out our
FaceBook Fan Page page for
tons of current henna pictures and see the gallery at our
henna help site,
www.ShopHenna.com for hundreds more henna
pictures. Feel free to print out
pictures and bring them in for your appointment to
show me what you like.
Will you do a
specific design that I want?
Yes, I am happy to henna something specific that you
bring in, and you are welcome to print up any of my
henna pictures, or to just bring in something that
you want to use as inspiration.
 Do I have to wear
specific clothing or otherwise prepare for henna?
Wear comfortable clothing that will expose
the area you want hennaed. Remember henna will
stain clothing along with your skin. If you
are doing henna on your feet, consider wear thin
flip flops that I can henna around so you don't have
to walk out barefoot.
Avoid any oils or lotions in the area you want
hennaed. Avoid self tanners in that area if
possible. You want the henna to be able to
bond to clean open skin cells for the best possible
henna color.
 How long do I have
to keep the henna
on my skin and how do I care for my tattoo?
The longer you keep the henna paste in contact with
your skin, the darker and longer lasting your henna
tattoo color. I suggest you keep the henna
paste on for 4 hours or more. It's also best
to avoid water on your henna tattoo for the rest of
the day.
Henna is actually a permanent stain. It
doesn't fade away, your skin cells exfoliate off.
Anything you do that is exfoliating will "fade" your
henna tattoo quicker.
.JPG) Is henna safe?
What's in your henna?
YES! We only use all natural henna that is
mixed by me, Jody. I use pure henna powder,
lemon juice, sugar, and pure lavender and tea tree
essential oils. I sometimes vary the essential
oils, but still only use safe high quality oils
including, cajuput, orange, frankincense, or
geranium.
We never use henna mixed with unsafe chemicals and
never offer "black" henna. Henna is NOT black
and will never be black.

henna safety here.
Any time you get henna form anyone, your henna artist should
always be willing to tell you what is in their henna
and the henna should never be black.
 How do I schedule
an appointment?
Appointments are scheduled via phone 407-236-7878 or
email.
