NY Customer: Pleasantly surprised by the packaging and pouch that these arrived in, as well as screw caps that can snug back onto oils, without leaking. Many companies have switched to child-proof caps, that leak and can be harmful to furniture and pets. The fragrance is all right but not as distinct as we would have preferred. The order was also delivered in a secure box that prevented any damage in shipping. We ordered coconut-vanilla, which did not really smell like either but was not overpowering.

Tiara Bewell: Great quality henna. Used for tattoos and it has a good stain. Make sure you give it time to release the dye once you mix with something acidic. I let it sit overnight with lemon juice and black tea and mixed in my essential oils in the morning. After about six hours I started filling my bottles and my fingers stained right away so he careful! It's very strong and if you make a mistake tattooing it'll leave a stain for a day or 2 before fading, EVEN IF you wipe it off right away. Great stuff!!

Rick J.: I got this book along with 12 henna cones I ordered to help me with my first henna tattoos. It's perfect! It talks about where henna comes from, how to make your own, how to make your own cone, tons of guidelines and pretty designs to try, and how to put it on wood or leather objects-which I didn't know could be done. I started off with lots of small designs from the book and slowly tried the more intricate ones. There's also lots of helpful tips on the pages as well. I would highly recommend this book to any henna tattoo beginner or anyone who wants to learn about henna.

Teresa Rempel: I've never done henna tattoos before and this book is a great help. It is very well written and has plenty of tips to help get you started doing your own henna tattoos. Some of the photos in the book are blurry/low quality, but overall it's very helpful and inspiring.

Dee Saville: Ms Abdoyan covers everything from the history of henna and Mehndi, recipe for paste, basics of henna design and offers a great number of beautiful patterns to work from. As a beginner in the art form I will treasure and refer to this book often. The pages are made of a thick paper that won't easily stain if you're working from it and drop some paste on it. I will use this book often as I learn and hopefully excel in this beautiful art form.

Also included in this book is the method for applying henna to objects, the preparation of the medium, application of design and after care to keep the stain vibrant.

LotusGirl: This book is large, gorgeous, and glossy, full of colorful and inspiring photos. It is, however, a little on the short side, at just over 100 total pages.

The book begins with some simple instructions for mixing henna, with a good, though basic, introduction to some recipe and application variations and options. In the style of many hobby/craft books, it uses text and photos to teach, step-by-step, techniques for creating some basic designs, moving on to suggest three (one of each) "beginner," "intermediate," and "advanced" tattoo projects to get you started. Then it enters into the Gallery, full of very beautiful photos to inspire you. Next is the Design section, a little over 40 pages long, with ~1-2 large images on each page spanning design ideas for hands, feet, back, shoulder, plus some additional flourishes and elements. Afterwards, it gives you a few blank hand/feet/etc Templates to photocopy and use to sketch out and/or record some of your own designs. It ends with an often-overlooked, though brief (10 pages or so), section on using henna as artwork on objects, which was one of the things that attracted me to the book.

Henna/mehndi artists new and old should...
