I am putting natural henna and I like to create my own designs for my clients. From natural henna you will get dark brown ,maroon color; for good color you have to avoid water for 24 hours. I'm specialized in all types of henna.My interviews are published in magazines too.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
I am an artist who loves to apply henna from my childhood, started working with henna when I was in 8th grade.It started out with doing it just for family and then extended to others.The journey that started from that time is never ending.

What do you love most about your job?
I love meeting the people from different places and cultures. I love to see the smile on the face of my clients after I give them henna. The memories that I create for the brides and other customers is very heartwarming. I also love that my clients remember me by my work.

What is the best reaction you've ever gotten from a customer?
The best reaction was when I was travelling back from Virginia and changing trains in Richmond, when a man yelled my name. I did henna for his sister's prom about 2 years ago and he still remembered me. I was very happy and surprised to see that he still holds the memory.
