Before the henna cone touches your skin, I sketch out the flow and details to ensure everything looks perfect. ## Photos and videos - [Video: A satisfying video of me filling in a mandala design.

By sketching your custom motifs on paper first, I get a clear idea of how the vines and flowers will sit on your hand. This keeps the design clean, balanced, and exactly how you imagined it, especially when blending different styles like Arabic and Indian motifs. When you book me, you are getting more than just a quick application. I take the time to map out your design, ensuring the proportions suit your hand size. Whether you want bold Arabic vines or dense Indian 'Bharwa' filling, seeing the sketch helps us agree on the look before I open my homemade organic henna cone. My Henna Process: 1. The Sketch: I draft your requested pattern to visualize the spacing. This is where we can make adjustments to names or initials. 2. The Application: I use my signature mix with eucalyptus and clove essential oils for a deep, rich color. 3. The Stain: I always use premium, natural henna. The result is that beautiful, dark maroon 'Massallah' stain that defines my work. Since I prepare my own paste, I always recommend keeping the henna on for as long as possible for the best color. If you have a specific reference image you want me to match, bring it along. While every hand and skin type behaves a little differently, sketching it out helps me adapt your reference into a design that works perfectly for you. ## About Mariyam Hi, I'm Mariyam!
