I kept meaning to post to ask for advice about this but never got
around to it. Any timely advice is appreciated, but after the fact
will help next time.
I am doing a 12th birthday party tonight for 7 girls and 2 adults. I
have two hours, which should be enough time to do decent-sized
designs on each of them.
I've been paid half in advance (yay) and my travel time is being paid
for at half my design rate (yay) so I'm all set for money. I know
I'm undercharging, but that'll just be until I start getting busy.
So... I've nevr done a party before. It will just be me, since time
is not an issue. I made up a batch of henna using my Moroccan
powder, my super-duper eucalyptus oil, and a bit of cardamom. I
wasn't going to add the cardamom but I find I really miss the smell.
I couldn't find my metal tips last night, so I just used the carrot
bag, and for some reason, it really worked, far better than the bag
alone ever has before. Because I was leaving it overnight, I LS and
wrapped it in toilet paper then plastic. I took the plastic off
shortly, because I thought that the terped hennas do better when
exposed to air. Is this right? It gave me a decent stain which is
still darkening.
So, now I have this semi-terped henna. For the party, do I LS and
wrap, and if so, do I include platic? Any other tips relating to
parties or 12-year-olds, or 12-year-olds' moms for that matter? Are
there any special touches that you use that makes for a more
memorable occasion? Should I bring kits to offer for sale? Should I
hand out business cards? Any advice appreciated!
