Whatever you are celebrating, there is a design for it.
Saarah comes to you anywhere in the Wellington region. Every design is freehand and every cone is natural paste.
Parties and girls' nights
Saarah comes to you with everything she needs. Birthdays, hens' nights, girls' nights in, farewells. Guests choose from a design menu or ask for something of their own. Bring the kids; there are gentle designs for small hands.
$160 an hour, minimum two hours. Six to eight simple designs an hour.
Book thisCorporate and cultural days
Diwali, Eid, Matariki, Christmas, client days and team afternoons. Henna makes a better icebreaker than name tags, and a queue at the henna table is where the conversation happens. Saarah has worked corporate events across Wellington since 2014.
$200 an hour, minimum two hours. Larger events quoted with a second artist.

Baby showers and belly art
A design drawn over the bump in the last weeks, made for the photographs you will keep. A mandala, a name, a date, a motif from your family. Natural paste only, which is why Saarah is the artist maternity photographers send their clients to.
From $180 for a single sitting. Photo-shoot designs quoted.
Book thisHenna crowns
For anyone who has lost their hair through illness or alopecia. A private, unhurried appointment and a design that is yours alone. This is some of the most meaningful work Saarah does and she has done it since her first years in Wellington.
Gifted. There is no charge for a henna crown. Just ask.
