Question 4

Does henna wash off?

Henna fades naturally over 1 to 2 weeks as your skin cells renew. It does not wash off in a single shower. To make it last longer, keep the paste on for at least 2 to 3 hours and avoid soap and water for the first 24 hours.

Question 5

How do I book a henna appointment?

Accepted Answer

Pick a design from our shop, add it to your cart, then choose a date and 60 minute slot at /booking. We need at least 2 hours advance notice. Payment is secured via Paystack at checkout.

Question 6

Is henna safe for skin?

Accepted Answer

We use natural, body safe henna paste with no PPD (the chemical found in 'black henna'). It is generally safe for all skin types. If you have very sensitive skin or a history of dye allergies, request a patch test before your session.

Question 7

How long does henna last on skin?

Accepted Answer

A well applied henna design typically lasts between 1 and 2 weeks. Stain depth is darkest on hands and feet and fades faster on arms and shoulders. Aftercare, sealing oil, and no scrubbing extend the life of the design.

Question 8

Can I walk in without a booking?

Accepted Answer

We operate by appointment to give every client an undivided session, so walk ins are accepted only if there is an open slot on the day. Booking online guarantees your time. Same day slots are available with 2 hours notice.
