Henna is one of the oldest cosmetics ever used and is very safe. We at Henna Junkie apply henna to people age six and over. Henna can be a wonderful blessing for pregnant women. Please let us know if you are expecting as we use a special blend of henna while preparing for these appointments.
Please be aware of artist using Black Henna, true henna smells grassy and herbal and is a green paste that stains an orange-red-brown which takes hours to develop. Henna Junkie only uses natural henna and 100% pure essential oils for a beautiful color and a safe experience.
