Soon I will be consolidating my henna and face painting under the one logo/name to make it easier to keep up with. If you aren’t already, head over and follow The Painter Chik

One of the most common questions is how long does the henna last? This is always hard to answer because a lot depends on how long the paste is left on, the weight of the lines in the design and your aftercare. When I do my own designs I try to emulate “average wear”. This photo is of henna that is 1 week old and was only kept on just until it was dry. You can see where the fingers have started to fade from handwashing and the thinner lines are fading as well. But the rest of the design surprisingly looks fantastic for being a week old!

Had a lovely day at Parcell’s Hippie Bash today. Thank you to everyone who stopped by for some Henna. It’s great to be back. ❤️

Hello everyone! I am happy to announce that I am finally healthy enough to return back to face painting and henna gigs! I would love to book something for you!

I have had some messages sent to me regarding upcoming events and gig availability, so I thought I would pop on to update everyone.
Since March I have been unable to work or do any events due to health issues that have arisen. The studio will be closed and I will not be booking any events/gigs for the foreseeable future until I am able to work again.
Thank you all for the support of my business and artistic ventures as well as the well wishes and prayers that have been made.

It’s been a while since I have had any henna. New fresh The Henna Hen cones are ready to go for the 2nd Annual Purchase Area Coffee & Chocolate Fest!

Are you ready for our first event of the 2024 season? We will be at 2nd Annual Purchase Area Coffee & Chocolate Fest! This weekend March 2nd and 3rd. Food trucks out front are open to public, ticketed event is well worth the cost with samples and goodies galore from so of the best artisans and merchants in our area. The Painter Chik will be there painting faces and doing all natural henna tattoos! We will also have our K**b Creek Clayworks booth set up with a surprise giveaway!
