Best Henna near me in Northside, Houston

Henna is a plant-based dye derived from the pigment in henna tree leaves. To harness the pigment, the leaves are dried, ground into a fine powder, and blended with oil or water to create a paste. It’s this paste that’s then piped onto the skin to create a henna tattoo.

Henna dye tends to last 2 weeks before it starts to fade. However, the longer you leave your newly applied henna on your skin before washing, the more time it has to be absorbed, and the longer it lasts.

Natural henna (red/brown henna) is generally safe for most people. Avoid 'black henna', which contains PPD: a chemical that can cause severe skin reactions. Always ensure your henna artist uses natural, safe ingredients.

Natural henna is brown or olive in colour and is generally safe to use, but we always recommend doing a patch test first, to see how your skin responds to it. Be careful: black henna (also known as PPD) is a chemical version of henna; it is banned for use on the skin in some countries, because it can burn and damage the skin.

A henna tattoo is a temporary body art design created using paste made from the henna plant. The paste is applied to the skin in intricate patterns and, once dried and removed, leaves an orange-to-brown stain that fades naturally over 1–3 weeks.

Henna designs typically cost between $9 and $9 depending on size and complexity. Fresha shows upfront pricing before you book.
