Well that's good then, we're on level ground.
re: the messy/more work issue- i suppose it's different for you,
since you say you've been using colored pastes for a long time. I
suppose then that it *would* dissapoint your customers if you
suddenly stopped offering them. But for me, who has never used
anything but natural henna on customers, they don't expect it, so i
don't have to worry about dissapointing them. I'd just rather not go
to the trouble if i know they are happy with what i offer.

I also suppose that maybe the attitude in the UK is different than
the attitude in the US- Here, a lot of people see henna as a
substitute for a tattoo, so artists have to get past that. But you
say that people come to you for henna because it is *not* a tattoo.
(Somebody correct me if i'm wrong about attitudes!)
