The new henna body art season is coming up, and usually hits us in March through September when those are our busiest months. It’s important then to get ready, and be prepared. This new video we made will get all of you better prepared for the bridal clients coming your way. Even if you are an experienced artist, there is always something new to learn. A few things I want to make sure everyone takes note of: Offer a free bridal consultation, with a sampling of your work, and a henna design. At least 80% of the time they will book with you on the spot. Use fresh, handmade henna paste for best results. This also gives you control of knowing exactly what is in the paste, and reduces any chances of allergic reactions. Make sure you are confident, and can guide your client throughout the whole process. Your client already has a lot on her plate, and your job is to make it go as easily as possible. Be on time for your appointment. Spray the lemon sugar on when the paste is dry at least 2-3 times. You can wrap up her designs with hypafix, or a medical tape. Many of our tips do apply to non-bridal clients. Watch our video for the step by step guidelines.
