Henna San Diego

I hired Tejal for my girlfriend's bridal shower in San Diego and I could not be happier with her services! She was professional from our very first call, explaining the process to expect regarding the contract. The day of the event, she showed up early with plenty of time to setup and brought bindis tp purchase as I had requested, which added a nice touch. Her friendly and approachable demanor made everyone relaxed when (for most) getting henna for their first time. All 11 ladies were thrilled with their uniquely desired designs and it was a momentum we all got to carry days beyond the event.

I highly recommend henna to add something special for bridal showers and especially Tejal, as her spirit added to our intimate affair.

After reading through all the great reviews, I reached out to Tejal through her website to have henna done for an upcoming family wedding.  She responded quickly and I made an appointment to visit her home in Rancho Penasquitos.   She later emailed me to change the time saying that an earlier appointment might run late, which was totally fine.

When I arrived at Tejal's home, I didn't find her to be friendly or welcoming.  She showed me a book of henna designs to choose from, but I wasn't able to find anything that I liked.  I referenced a few photos on her website but she was unwilling to replicate those designs and said that she couldn't remember how those were done.  

I indicated that I wanted the henna up to the mid-forearm region.  She quickly applied the henna down to my palm and started cleaning up.  Uh ok.  After all the back and forth about the design, she ended up deviating way too much from what I chose.  In addition she applied the henna in such thick lines that it did not come out well.

It was clear that she was in a rush and had somewhere else to be (her friend was even waiting for her outside as I left), which I find odd given that she changed the appt time to meet her schedule.  Furthermore, she gave me no after care instructions.

Unfortunately Henna San Diego is pretty much the only game in town. Maybe they only pull out all the stops for bridal henna or large groups.  In the future, and for my own bridal henna, I would hire a henna artist from LA.

We Hired Henna San Diego - Karla was our artist. We had them for 2 India Themed parties this past month. Could not be happier. Great work and technique, this was one of the hits of the party - we would highly recommend them without question!
