Frequently Asked Questions
DO YOU OFFER MAKEUP & HAIR SERVICES?
We specialize exclusively in mehndi. For beauty services, our sister company CB Beauty will ensure you look radiant on your special day.
DO YOU USE NATURAL HENNA?
Yes! We import premium organic henna directly from Rajasthan, India, made from pure Lawsonia inermis plants. In association with Henna Lounge.
WHAT INGREDIENTS ARE IN YOUR HENNA CONES?
Our henna cones contain: Organic Rajasthani henna powder, tea tree essential oil (for enhanced stain), unrefined cane sugar, and distilled water.
We prepare fresh batches weekly for optimal quality.
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I BOOK?
For our popular wedding destinations (like Riviera Maya), we recommend at least 12 months—especially for Hindu weddings.
CAN I PROVIDE MY OWN HENNA?
Absolutely, though we’ll request a waiver for any skin reactions or pigmentation results.
DO YOU TRAVEL FOR DESTINATION WEDDINGS ACROSS THE WORLD?
Yes, we’re honored to be invited! We have plenty of experience in destination logistics. Travel fees must be covered by the client.
CAN YOU HANDLE MULTIPLE SERVICES AT ONCE?
Yes! Our team of 11 artists specializes in large weddings—we coordinate seamlessly to serve bridal parties, families, and guests with love and precision.
CAN MEHNDI BE DONE OUTDOORS?
For events in Cancún, Riviera Maya, Tulum, or Mérida, we strongly advise an air-conditioned space due to humidity (which affects drying).
WHEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE MY BRIDAL MEHNDI?
We recommend at least 2 days before your wedding events. This allows the stain to deepen and avoids pool/beach restrictions. Close family sessions can be done the same day.
DO YOU SELL HENNA CONES?
Yes! Ask us about take-home cones for touch-ups. You can also buy directly through our online shop here.
ARE YOU HOTEL-APPROVED VENDORS?
We’re preferred vendors at most Cancún/Riviera Maya resorts. Each hotel has unique policies, which we fully respect.
Mehndi Care
FIRST STEPS
To ensure you’re relaxed and comfortable during this important session, we strongly recommend scheduling at least one full day before your wedding events (two days is even better).
The bridal application should ideally take place in your hotel room. If you prefer another location, it must have excellent shade (to prevent the henna from melting), no wind, and perfect lighting. If conditions aren’t ideal, your artist may request to move to a better location to guarantee beautiful results.
The ideal environment for your mehndi is indoors with air conditioning – not too cold, but without humidity. This helps the paste dry properly and ensures the best results.
BEFORE YOUR SESSIONS
Gently exfoliate with a washcloth and neutral soap to remove dead skin cells. Ensure your skin is completely free of oils, lotions or creams as these can affect how well the henna stains.
AFTER THE APPLICATION
Once your design is complete, let the henna dry undisturbed for 30-40 minutes. We will apply our special sealing mixture of water, sugar and essential oil to help set the design. The paste should remain on your skin for 6-8 hours for optimal staining, with overnight being ideal. Avoid contact with water for at least 12 hours after application. Avoid pools and exercising completely.
When removing the dried paste, gently flake it off – never use water, as this will lighten your stain.
After removal, apply pure mustard, almond or coconut oil (we recommend bringing your own preferred oil).
Note that your design will initially appear orange, then deepen to a rich brown over 48 hours. The final color intensity depends on body location, how long the paste stayed on, and your aftercare routine.
FOR MEHNDI PARTIES
Please provide a well-lit, wind-protected area with at least one table and two chairs.
We allow a 15 minute grace period for start times; any additional time needed beyond your booked session will require extra payment.
