Henna Arts

Nisha was incredibly sweet and did a wonderful job! I brought a friend here and she absolutely loved the henna she got, and I’m in love with my design as well. I’d gladly recommend Nisha to anyone interested in erring quality henna in Austin

Went to get some henna done on my leg/​foot and Nisha did an amazing job, she is a wonderful artist. She was quick and the henna is beautiful, I would highly recommend her. She also has a lovely selection of saris and jewelry.

Went for the Mother Blessing, Nisha is extremely talented and quick! Would definitely recommended, and I will go back again

Nisha came to our house and did mehndi for myself and about 18 other women the evening before my Hindu wedding ceremony. She was wonderful. She did a beautiful job with each person and was incredibly quick too. Friendly, funny, and very talented. She was perfect.

It’s amazing! I grew up in the Middle East and thus have many experiences getting henna «tattoos» This place far exceeds all expectations. Nisha is an artist! Very fun, very efficient and a great way to spend your Saturday with your best friend! I’m definitely going back.

Nisha hosted my baby shower/​mother blessing in her home studio and it was exactly what I’d envisioned! Her studio is beautiful, with colorful Indian items and cushions giving it a festive and cozy feel. She worked easily with us to arrange all the details, including offering fair pricing, providing a nice big table to set out all the food we brought and suggesting I arrive early to dress me all up in a sari. That was SO much fun! She really goes the extra mile to give you the experience of your dreams.
Her henna work is absolutely beautiful, and she does it so quickly! All the guests loved getting it done, and my belly came out exactly like the picture I’d sent her beforehand. She is an amazing artist and gracious host. I would recommend her to anyone.

My teenage daughters wanted to get henna tattoos so I did a little research and came across Henna Arts. She had great reviews and so I gave her a call. Nisha is a local artist who works from her home. She was very accommodating and friendly on the phone and her prices are very reasonable. We arrived at her house and she was warm and comfortable to talk to. Her home is filled with her art and she talked to us about how long she had been doing henna and how she learned. She told us what to look for in true henna. She is very professional and we left with the most beautiful designs. It was such a fun experience and Nisha’s kind demeanor and amazing talent are the key. My daughters have been so excited to show off their henna. If you are looking for beautiful henna, a good price and a great artist I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Went to get henna done before ACL with a friend, was a little hesitant to drive this far from downtown, but I’m so glad we did! Don’t be put off by the location, even though it’s a business run out of the owner’s house, because the whole experience, albeit strange, was well worth it.
She was super quick, very nice and happy to do whatever design you had in mind. One day out the quality of the henna she uses is apparent because it’s not the super dark kind that has additives that can cause skin irritation.
I got a an arm band/​shoulder piece that was $ 45, and my friend got both her wrists and hands done for $ 60. Perhaps could have found cheaper, but I love supporting a small business! Will be going back in the future.

Just had my Mothers blessing and I am 38weeks pregnant! My belly was a bare canvas for Nisha and she gave my exactly what I was hoping for! It was very relaxing to witness her creativity and free hand skill. I love the smell of the eucalyptus oil she put on my belly before and then henna paste sent my senses wild. Love the smell of that stuff! Just a heads up, if you’re booking an individual appointment-​you will be arriving at a residential home! I loved this environment much more than a business building studio because I felt so relaxed and calm. She also sells clothing, jewelry, and other handmade items. Her personality is sweet and personable, which helped comfort me for the hour. She even let my photographer come and shoot a lifestyle session. Will be returning for a hand or foot tattoo or to buy some of her gorgeous textiles.

Oh… my…goodness! I was not familiar with henna art all but wanted/​needed something too help me embrace my baldness. I did a search and found Nisha and because bcc she had so many great reviews, I went for it. Wow, just wow! She has talent that seemingly pours out of her! She’s fast, very well priced, professional, and immediately puts you at ease. I will definitely be back again and again, and bringing friends! Thanks Nisha, you have no idea what your work did for need today but just know, it bcc was exactly what I needed!

Absolutely fantastic! I’d been searching for an artist for a while that’s close to me since I live south. I took the easy route and went to the salon in the mall. Big mistake! I finally decided to give this spot a try and I’m hooked! Nisha was fast, friendly, and awesome! Needless to say I’ll be making the trip north every few weeks to get my henna done. I’m at day seven and it still looks like I just got it done yesterday!

Nisha is fantastic. I wanted to get a henna piece done on my shoulder and back before going on a vacation so I made an appointment with Nisha the week before. She was really easy to get ahold of and communicate with. When I arrived my piece was a little larger and more complicated than I think Nisha was expecting but she took all of the ideas I had and used her artistic magic to make it happen, taking her time to ensure it was quality. From Nisha’s website I knew I was in the hands of a real artist but the results blew me away! Given that I listed off an uncoherent list of ideas for Nisha, she was able to synthesize my rambling ideas and turn it into something classic but modern and really stunning. This was my first henna piece and I am most definitely going to return to Nisha to get more pieces done for special occasions and just for fun. On top of it all, given the piece took about 2 and a half hours, Nisha was lovely to talk to and took lots of pictures for me so that I could send to my friends. An overall great experience. Nisha is a wonderfully unique talent! Thank you!!!

By far, the best henna tattoo I’ve gotten yet. Nisha is not only artistic in henna art but she also has a talent with painting. She’s got various beautiful pieces and not to mention very unique Indian jewelry and clothing all for sale. I highly recommend her artistic abilities :-)

My friend really wanted some henna done for her birthday so I looked online and found Nisha and I’m so glad I did! I called her up and scheduled an appointment for both of us for that same afternoon.
She was very friendly and welcoming and was extremely easy to work with. I fell in love with one of her designs but wanted it to extend further down my arm which she said was no problem. My tattoo was done in about fifteen minutes even though it was very detailed and intricate.
My friend and I both walked out extremely satisfied and are already planning our next visit. It was a nice girl’s day out and more affordable than a mani/​pedi!

I just got my first Mehndi. I have always wanted one but at festivals where I see someone doing the henna designs — the line is always too long.
At the St. Elias Mediterranean Fest, I lucked out. No line — and I got a Mehndi done for $ 10. I LOVE it and plan to get more. My design is beautiful and just what I asked for. It’s cheaper than a manicure and much prettier. I am not sure where Nisha works but I plan to contact her and find out.

All I can say is that I seriously lucked out when I found Henna Arts! I did a Google search in Austin, came across Nisha’s website and decided to give her a try for my very first henna/​mehndi over a year. Not only was she personable and welcoming, she listened to me and interpreted what I wanted based on some photos I liked in her gorgeous portfolio. The resulting inspired designs were uniquely gorgeous and the detail of her work was absolutely stunning! As a fellow artist I truly appreciate her gift and knowing that she loves what she does makes it that much more special. I made an appointment for henna and left with breath taking designs on my hands and arms and someone I could call a friend.
If you’re looking for Henna, Nisha is *the* person to contact. You’ll be more than satisfied… you’ll be blown away. Promise!
PS: She also carries a wide assortment of jewelry and accessories, so don’t be shy! Ask Nisha what other goodies she has before you leave, and you can score some beautifully unique pieces to show off. :-)
