Rates go between 50 cents a minute (no cost home parties) to $3 a
minute (in high volume, fast, expensive venues)

BUT

I'd recommend doing henna on every person you can grab and hold still
for FREE for at least a year before you start to charge! You can learn
to do henna in 10 minutes, but to do it beautifully takes practice and
experience!

Henna's got an over-abundance of artists who want to start earning a
living before they have any sort of skill level, and it does a
disservice to the art, and to the clients. Take your time .... every
time you henna you'll get better. Start charging only when people
start OFFERING you money. When people want to give you money, that's
a sign that you're good enough to ask for money!
