“I found Michelle while searching online about a month before my wedding. We quickly set up a consultation, and I left it feeling comfortable. On the day, she was ready to roll. Within an hour, my hair was up and looked great. I got lots of compliments on it from my guests.”

“SLT was such an amazing part of my wedding day! I was originally supposed to get married in May and we scheduled my trial for January. Karly and Sarah both blew me away with their natural talent and ability to turn my vision into reality! They both exceeded my expectations and allowed me to feel so comfortable and relaxed on my wedding day because of how much confidence I had after my trial. I also have learned that the way Sarah schedules trials well in advance is so helpful because I do know other brides who have gotten trials closer to the wedding and they feel anxious so looking back I'm so happy she did it that way! Sarah also communicated super well and was so flexible and helpful with rebooking! She brought so much positive energy on my wedding day and made all my bridesmaids feel their best too! After my wedding a few of my bridesmaids even decided to book with her!”

I love creating beautiful, custom wedding henna! From intricate, elaborate bridal mehndi designs to speedy, satisfying designs for guests, I love it all. I have studied Indian, North African, and Middle Eastern henna design in depth, and am happy to create designs in a broad range of strictly traditional styles, or to combine traditional patterns with more individualized, unique elements for a customized henna experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
“I'd first met Heather at a Rhode Island PrideFest, and instantly saw how much talent she had. Every piece she did looked amazing, her precision was immaculate. I went to her several times over the years, and when my now wife and I began planning our wedding, I brought up the idea of having wedding henna done. My wife agreed, and I knew immediately that I needed to contact Heather. We met up with her at a nearby farm where she was holding a henna event, and she sat with us discussing what we would like done for the wedding for probably a half-hour or so. She sketched design ideas out, which we loved, and made a contract right then and there. Our wedding henna was stunning. We received so many compliments on it that night, and repeatedly after as it lasted beautifully for quite some time. We still get comments if someone sees wedding photos. Throughout the entire process, Heather was a dream to work with. Very kind and professional, she is exactly the caring presence a stressed bride-to-be needs.”
