My organic cones are always made 48 hours before your booking to get that deep, rich colour. It is a long process, but I promise the patience is worth it when you see the final result on your big day. ### The Reality of the Art Being a mehndi artist is not just about drawing patterns. It is about patience, energy, and a whole lot of chai. When I arrive at your venue in Mumbai, whether it is a small apartment in Andheri or a large banquet hall, I bring the same energy. ### Why My Process is Different I believe in honest work. My henna paste is 100% natural, prepared from scratch, and tested for quality. I avoid chemical cones because I want your skin to be safe and the stain to be natural. This preparation takes time, which is why I prefer to plan bookings at least a few days in advance. ### My Hustle Balancing law school with being a mehndi artist keeps me on my toes. It means I am disciplined with my time. When you book me, you are getting an artist who is fully committed to the process. You will often see me using 'jugaad' like hair dryers to set the henna quickly if we are running tight on time before your function. ### Let us Connect Every design I draw is personal. Whether we are discussing a custom portrait of your love story or just keeping it simple and minimalist, I want the time we spend together to be relaxed. If you are looking for an artist who shows up, puts in the work, and cares about your comfort, we will get along just fine. ## About Sanjana Hi, I am Sanjana. When I am not busy with law books, I have a mehndi cone in my hand. I believe in honest art, lots of chai, and making sure your mehndi session is the most chill part of your wedding prep.
