i get called for
: probably similar to Mark AKA hennaboy is modern contemporary stuff
like
: dragons, flowers, chinese symbols etc so i really don't get much
mumbi

I got around this by basically putting mehndi in their faces. Ive
done more this year in the studio than any other.

But yes modern henna still out guns traditional....

But i wouldnt do that for less than Ł45 basically cos time is money
and im way to busy to do that during the day.

I often turn away people who want mehndi in favour of modern
henna....i ask them to come back later....say after 7pm....why? cos
the studio is quieter then and doing quality mehndi at that time
will earn you more....he crowd gathers they are v impressed and they
will wait.
