What moves the price
- Complexity of the designs — fine, intricate bridal patterns take far longer than simple party henna.
- Artist's experience — a henna artist with a strong bridal portfolio usually charges more per booking.
- Travel distance — a henna artist coming further to your home or venue may add travel to the price.
- Number of people — a bridal party or festival booking takes far longer than henna for one person.

How to pay less
- Choosing a simpler pattern, or covering only the hands rather than the arms and feet, keeps the henna price down.
- Booking henna for a group at the same event can cost less per person than separate bookings; it helps to ask the artist.
- Gathering guests at the same address saves the henna artist travelling to several homes, which can lower travel charges.
- Midweek bookings can cost less than weekends, so it helps to ask the henna artist about weekday rates.
Before you book
- It helps to say whether the henna is for a bride, a party or a festival, and how many people want designs.
- Check the artist's photos of past henna and mehndi designs, especially bridal work if that is what you need.
- Ask what is in the henna paste, and mention any skin allergies, before the mehndi is applied.
- Agree the start time, address and how long the henna will take, so the design has time to dry before the event.

While not always required, hiring a skilled artist ensures safety and quality in the designs. Ask about the longevity of the henna design and aftercare.
