Birmingham & West Midlands Henna Services by ShebaHenna

Hey, I'm Aarifah Ali (Founder of ShebaHenna) 👋. I'm a passionate henna artist/Mehndi artist with over 10 years of experience providing head-turning henna tattoos!

Most of my customers know me for boutique, bridal henna and custom designs. So that's where my specialty in mehndi art services lies.

Although, I've been providing professional henna services for over a decade. And have done Eid henna, festive henna, and even non-traditional modern tattoos for light & dark skin tones.  

My professional henna services are designed to adorn you with patterns that celebrate life’s special moments—whether you’re seeking the elegance of bridal mehndi, the festive flair of event designs, or a one-of-a-kind custom piece,

Bridal Mehndi Services

Bridal menhdi art to beautify you for the biggest day of your life!

Specializing in bridal henna, I pour my everything into creating a masterpiece that complements the bride’s natural beauty and the grandeur of the wedding.

Bridal mehndi design is my number one service for a reason: 

I'm obsessed with Bridal menhdi!

Fortunately, my customers also love the final results 😉. (Most love the "groom challenge design" I offer—which includes the groom’s name hidden within the design, a playful challenge for him to find).

Event and Festival Mehndi Services

I'll offer expressive designs make sure you look fab for your next festival, while adding a touch of culture and tradition. 

Custom Mehndi Design Services

When it comes to expressing individuality, custom henna designs are the perfect canvas.

I'll work with you to bring bespoke designs to life, infusing personal symbols, initials, or even portraits into the henna.

It’s an opportunity to wear your story on your skin, whether it’s a snake design symbolizing transformation or a set of initials marking a special bond.

West Midlands—Birmingham, Coventry, & Wolverhampton

My menhdi art services cover Birmingham, Coventry, and Wolverhampton. 

I prefer to travel to your location. However if you need me to host you for the design, I can arrange that too.

Prioritizing Skin-friendly Mehndi

My Mehndi formula includes nothing but organic henna powder, cane sugar, water, lemon juice and a therapeutic-grade, essential oil blend. My preferred blend consists of Lavender oil or Eucalyptus oil.

I'm a big supporter of natural henna over instant henna as it is safer for sensitive skin. 

Jagua / (Safe) Black Mehndi Services

If you're looking for a more tattoo-like pattern and color, I also offer Jagua henna designs.

Many festivals & tourist attractions use a Chemical variation of black henna, which includes several toxins that not only are harmful for your skin, but can scar it.

I  only use 100% natural henna.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How long does henna typically last on the skin?

    Henna designs typically last from 1 to 2 weeks, but this can vary based on skin type, care, and the quality of the henna paste used.

    Can henna be applied to any part of the body?

    Yes, henna can be applied to most parts of the body, but it stains best on areas with thicker skin, such as the palms and feet. So, it's generally safe for use in most areas of the body.

    Can I get a custom henna design that's not part of your portfolio?

    Yes, unlike some henna artists I'm usually happy to create custom designs based on your preferences and ideas. However, you should first review my portfolio and discuss your vision with me beforehand! 

    How can I ensure the darkest stain from my henna design?

    For the darkest henna stain, keep the paste on as long as possible, avoid water on the hand for the first 24 hours, and use natural oils to protect the design.
