Price Range and Schedules

OK! Hello folks, Niza here. Our henna business has been running for a while now and we haven't even put up the price list for our henna services on this blog yet, so let's go about that. (^w^)

Henna services price list:

- Wedding Package A
This package includes the FULL set for the BRIDE meaning she'll get drawn on her hands, palms, arms, feet and legs. Plus 25 people will get a standard drawing on their palms or hands. This package costs $300.

- Wedding Package B
This package is similar to wedding package A, with the exception that instead of 25 people getting standard drawings it'll be only 10 people. This package costs $125.

- Wedding Package C
This package is similar to wedding package A, with the exception that it is only for the Bride. This package costs $100.

- Birthday Package A
This package offers standard henna designs for 20 guests and costs $200.

- Birthday Package B
This package is similar to Birthday Package A but for 10 guests and costs $150.

- Large Designs cost $10 - $12

- Sole (Feet) Designs cost $7 - $20

Please note:
For the Wedding and Birthday packages, PLEASE give us 3 days to 1 week's prior notice. We're students and we kinda have our own lives to worry about as well as the business so informing us earlier will greatly help us.

And on to the next topic of interest, our timetable. As you probably know, we keep on getting customers when we're having classes at University. If you happen to come to the Artly Design Store in the morning, it's guaranteed that we won't be there because we have classes. We're usually free around the afternoons and nights but just because we say so doesn't mean we are always free. That's why we leave our handphone numbers on our cards, so you guys can contact us and tell us when and where you want to be henna-ed.

So this is what our henna schedule roughly looks like:
Mondays: On Call
Tuesdays: In Store from 2 - 6pm
Wednesdays: On Call
Thursdays: On Call
Fridays: In Store from 12 - 6pm
Saturdays: On Call

*On Call status means we won't be at the store but if a customer calls or texts us that they want to be henna-ed at the store, we would go to the store before the appointed time. We would also go to the customer's home to henna them but that is usually for wedding and birthday packages and henna designs that are on the back.

Well I guess that's all there is to it. We really appreciate our customers calling or texting us beforehand to make appointments to be henna-ed. So please do call or text us. For our numbers you can either call the Artly Design Store at 2233015 and ask for the henna artists' numbers or drop by the Artly Design Store and grab our brochure and cards. Thank you. (^w^)v

The punggung series!



A lot of girls liked the punggung area with henna so I tested my sister's back, this is with only 1 STAIN, and not becuci until morning. So I hope you like it cos I liked it :)

Meep...?

Couldn't think of a good title, LOL XD.
Anyways, Niza here again peeps with some pictures of henna that I've been doing lately. Enjoy. (^w^)v


Another phoenix design, made with the help of transfer paper. I liked how it turned out.

A medieval Russian design from my friend's book of henna designs. I did it with pen first as a guideline and then inked it out with henna...lots and lots of it. XD

The art of transfer paper

Heya peeps, Niza here! I've been experimenting with some transfer paper last night and I have to say I like the results.
Transfer paper is for those who don't wanna draw their henna free hand. With a transfer paper you can draw your design on a piece of paper, rub some transfer paper activator so that the ink on the transfer paper would stick onto your skin and use that ink as a guideline for your henna.

So I tried it out, made a tribal dragon design and pasted it onto my upper arm and followed the inky guideline. There were a few problems though like some of the transfer paper ink didn't get transfered onto the skin so I had to look at the original pic occasionally to see if there were any lines missing and another problem was due to my own fault...why did I have to put it on such a hard place for myself to draw. XD I learned that I could draw myself on my upper arm...but it hurts and luckily my lil bro was there to help me henna the areas where it was painful for me to reach. XD


Anyways, the pic above is what the design looked like when the henna's drying up. Some parts of the wings which were on the outer side of my arm was drawn by my lil bro cause it hurt for me to reach it.XD


And this one is what it looks like 12 hours later! Hopefully it'll grow darker and if it doesn't guess I have to henna it again. Eitherway I'm happy with how it turned out. (^w^)b

My experimenting canvas


Made a tribal design on my younger bro's back. Honestly whenever I wanna do big works or experiment on the stain shades of my henna mix I would turn my younger bro into my very own 'experimenting canvas'. XD Poor kid but at least he likes it...well kinda, if the designs are nice.
