I never ever charge for re-doing smudged designs - I think it shows a
lot of good will. Having said that I had a teenager that I did on
Saturday and she was rather rude anyway, and she had a boyfriend who
was hanging all over her and kissing her whilst I was trying to henna
her (not very easy!). She came back twice to have it redone, didn't
ask politely, was generally using bad language (which I don't like
when you have a lot of children waiting as well). I told her after
the second time that she would have to be more careful because I was
not going to do it again (You have to get stroppy occasionally!!!!).
Guess what - she didn't come back. If it had been a kiddy though I
would have re-done it - I usually have a joke with people who come
back and tell them to find a quiet spot and go and sit down until
it's all dry!
