Prices can vary widely and they can depend on a lot of different
things. Some people charge by the design, especially at fairs and
other times where you go to the artist. This will vary by the
complexity of the design, the artist's cost to be there, and the area
of the country.
Most of the time, you are charged by the hour if you want a party or
wedding henna. Some artists have special rates for this kind of
service. Talented and experienced artists charge more per hour than
newer ones, partly because they can do more in less time. Areas
where talented artists are scarce may charge more because they are
the only game in town, or less to get people interested in henna in
the first place. Places where everything is more expensive will of
course charge accordingly.
For example, I live in Hartford, CT, and per hour I charge a bit more
than half what the best artists in New York City charge. I'm
probably not as practiced as many of them, but I am reasonably
talented AND the only person doing henna professionally for about two
hours' drive. At fairs, I have a minimum $5 for any design, and
an "average" design runs $20-30. There's a woman at a flea market on
Cape Cod who charges about 3-4 times what I do- and gets it.
I guess the best answer is to ask around your local area. I know
there'a a site online which lists henna artists by area and it gives
prices, unfortunately I can't remember the URL but you should be able
to search for it.
Best of luck.


: you seem to know alot about so could you tell me what the charges
for
: painting the henna should be on hands and feet?
