ZK HENNA - Shahin Kadri

By Shahin Kadri August 8, 2012
Henna, or mehndi is the latest fashion trend! Once an ancient art form, used to adorn brides and mothers to be, henna is now recognized worldwide as a painless, temporary method of body art. Henna (Lawsonia inermis) is a flowering plant that naturally leaves a beautiful colored imprint when applied to the skin. Unlike pigments used in tattoos, henna does not penetrate living skin tissues. It lasts only 1 to 2 weeks, before it fades, leaving you free to change your design as often as you change your mind!


My fascination with henna started at the young age of 6, when my mom first put some on me. Long ago, when my mom was younger, she went to weddings and other special occasions to apply henna.  The process was lengthy and very labor intensive. Nevertheless, she passed on her enthusiasm and talent for applying henna onto me! My fascination later became my obsession and I taught myself this ancient art, but in a modern way. The process of applying henna (via a pastry bag – like cone) has totally revolutionized the art and opened up so many possibilities for intricate designs.


This year, I have decided to turn my passion for henna into a business and ZK Henna was born. I provide professional and high quality henna art services to Waupun and the surrounding area. I use only natural ingredients for my henna paste in order to get a long lasting and beautiful stain. ZK Henna specializes in traditional henna designs for corporate events, private parties, baby showers, festivals, wedding ceremonies, birthday celebrations, sweet 16 parties, graduations and just for fun. I’m also available for vendor fairs and charity events.

Individual appointments: start at $10 per design (in Waupun)

Parties: $60/hour (2 hour minimum) within a 30 minute radius (any travel over 30 minutes from Waupun will incur an additional charge).
