Children's Parties FAQs
-
Natural henna usually takes around 15–20 minutes to dry. During this time, children can enjoy food, games and other party activities. For the richest stain, I recommend booking henna towards the end of the celebration where possible.
-
Jagua ink takes approximately 30–45 minutes to dry. Once removed, the stain may appear very light at first before gradually developing into a deep blue-black colour over the next 24–48 hours. For the best results, I recommend scheduling jagua applications towards the end of the event.
-
The number of guests I can accommodate depends on the size and complexity of the designs chosen. As a guide, I can complete approximately 12 simple designs per hour, or around 6 guests per hour if decorating both hands. If you're planning a larger event, I'm happy to recommend the ideal booking duration to ensure everyone has the opportunity to enjoy their henna experience.
