I've attached to my review screen shots of an email conversation I had with the owner of this henna studio. Let me begin by saying we were in Hawaii for a few weeks and every year my daughter asks for a henna tattoo. This year the timing worked out and we scheduled an appt for her. She ended up getting a lotus flower and her name written down her spine on 1/3. By 1/7, the henna tattoo was nearly gone. We followed every instruction - the henna stayed on longer than recommended, a total of around 14 hours, no sun, no swimming, etc. We stopped by the studio to see if they could fix or touch it up, Bri, the artist, was right in the middle of her appt and couldn't do it at that time. She let us know we should come back and it wouldn't be an issue, since she could barely see the henna herself and she stated that this was not the norm. I sent a message to make a new appt before we left town or get a refund if that wasn't possible and received the most abrasive and rude response. Apparently you can walk in to the studio and they will fix it, but if you send a message and get the owners, they're completely rude and don't want to fix any errors and refuse to provide a refund because it's "art"... even though this was a stenciled and traced piece of "artwork" and one of their employees already stated that they would fix it, no problem. I'd recommend trying another henna studio or saving yourself the money, aggravation and having to deal with rude people that take your money without providing proper service.

I took my granddaughter Emily there, and let her go wild. The Henna she choose, with help from a very sweet lady, look so beautiful on her. It was fun cause she text a picture to her mom in Arizona, she thought she had got a tattoo. Smiling grandpas!!

Great shop, our three kids had henna done today, two were pretty basic, the third was a bit more challenging, all of them turned out great. The missing star is basically just from the artists lack of perception as she greeted the same people multiple times.

We had a large group of people decide to get henna last minute, and they were very accommodating. I would recommend making reservations though.

My 16 year old sister who works very hard at her part time job got a henna tattoo here and was very disappointed, she wanted me to share the following review...
"I was thoroughly disappointed to find my henna which had only been done 3 days prior almost completely gone. I had followed all the instructions in regards to pre past peal and post past peal and yet it still didnβt stick. Noticing the henna had almost vanished I returned to the store and asked for a touch up to which the lady responded that it was on an area that fades quickly and had I done it on the bottom of my foot it would have stayed longer (which contradicts the instructs to moisturize to prevent exfoliation as the bottom of your foot gets rubbed the most) and that to get a touch up would cost half of what I payed which was about 40 dollars for a band and turtle. I would not recommend coming here, due to the poor quality of the henna and the misinformation delivered by the workers."

Excellent henna artists. Beautiful Hawaiian designs. I wanted a very fussy detailed design. They can do anything. There is lots of fun clothing and other stuff.

I love my henna design from Robin. Based on a few images we browsed, she understood what I like and created 2 beautiful tattoos.
