Henna Happiness

I was doing a training session with my service dog in Huntington down the block from this place. Some people came up and started trying to grab the dogs tail and verbally harass him, and when I told them to leave me alone the owner Trudy came out of her store and «got involved» by losing her head like a tornado and yelling at ME.
It’s a crime, an actual on the books, in writing, enforceable crime to harass, bother, or otherwise interfere with a service dog/​in training in NY state. Yet this lady thinks it’s ok to scream at me to not bring my service dog in public unless I’m willing to let other people pet it. Well then I guess I shouldn’t use my crutches in case people are tempted to have a sword fight with them? I shouldn’t use my wheelchair in case someone wants to race in it?
There was more she yelled at me for. Mostly for being a terrible, mean, evil, toxic person because I told someone to stop harassing me and my dog.
Trudy, mind your own business. I’m sorry you didn’t recognize me that day because I also worked for you briefly years ago covering a party and you totally screwed me out of money for that too. This lady is an evil, culturally appropriating, fly off the handle, scamming hippie dirt bag.
There are plenty of traditional henna artists in the little India and Pakistan districts of LI that you can hire that do beautiful work BTW. Google «cultural appropriation» :)

Nothing but personal service in this amazingly well stocked little shop. It is a «gem» of Huntington. There is a variety of items from Henna tattoos to gems and crystals, jewelry, books and more. Great for browsing and learning about the world of energy and astrology. You can even schedule an astrological reading. The owner is one of the most compassionate shopkeepers in town.

I visited this store about a week ago with a friend, I wasn’t feeling to well and wanted to purchase some crystals to feel a little more balanced. The prices weren’t to bad and she had decent selection of crystals. I purchased a fluorite necklace and a lapis necklace for my friend along with an opal ring all together the total was 110 $ and she threw in an Onyx stone for free. For one of the only crystals stores close by I enjoyed it. I wanted to get a Henna tattoo but I had already spent a lot and the Henna was 20 $ and up.

I decided I wanted to be a scary pumpkin for Halloween and was going to attempt to do my own makeup BUT then I realized I was nuts! so I made an appt with Henna Happiness. I first texted Trudy (I walked into the strore and the clerk gave me Trudy’s card with her cell #) and I explained what I was looking to do and I sent her a pic and she texted back that she could help me. So I made arrangements to visit her before Halloween to discuss the details. I went there @ 11am on Halloween and we had such a fun hour. I was very nervous it wasn’t going to come out the way I envisioned it and that it wasn’t going to last all day and night (remember this was 11am in the morning!) not only did it EXCEED my expectations it lasted well into the wee hours! It even landed me 1^st place in a costume contest! We called it a night @ about 2am and I put some warm water on a face cloth and it all came off so easy which left me scratching my head because i was drinking all night and it NEVER came off! crazy! Trudy is extremely talented and fairly priced! and I would 100% recommend her! and I will be coming back every halloween!

Henna Happiness is just that! Had a wonderful experience here on a Friday night after work. The boutique is beautiful, you can get lost in all of the clothing, crystals, rocks, oils and more that they have to offer.
I came here to get my first henna hand tattoo and despite the bad reviews, I read over the good ones and was eager to give this place a try and make my own opinion from my own experience.
Delighted. Trudy who is the artist was a doll. Sweet and kind, I was able to have conversation with her. (I can’t stand when I go to a tattoo/​piercing place, nail or hair salon and people don’t have conversation). She is a great artist. I chose a design that was pictured on here and saved it to my phone for her to work off of. They also have TONS of designs to choose from in the boutique. The time it took to do the design was quick and she worked fast and precise. She went over the after care instructions/​tips with me. All in all it was a wonderful experience.
My henna right now is a brownish, orange color and I was told in another day it will set into that dark henna color so I can’t wait ! Recommend this place for sure. Will be back :)

Great place, awesome experience every time. My henna lasted weeks. Trudy is so cool, you can tell she practices what she preaches and clearly knows her stuff! Just walking into the shop you feel relaxed, the interior is beautiful and home-​y. The shop is small in size but has A LOT to offer, from jewelry to henna to clothing, trinkets, etc. I think people writing negative reviews seem to forget that this entire shop is run by ONE HUMAN, so you can all chill out and be more understanding-​call ahead of time!
Support small business and shop at Henna Happiness!

Surprised by the negative reviews! I’ve been to Henna Happiness four times now and have always had a positive experience. The henna tattoos I’ve had done at the store always last several weeks and receive loads of compliments. Trudy is friendly and talented and the shop is fun to browse with lots of funky and quirky jewelry, clothing and books.
Yes, the hours can be inconsistent, so I recommend you call before heading over.

The hours do differ here depending on the season I believe. Considering this is the only henna shop (that I know of) locally, she sometimes is not there because she is one talented lady and is sometimes away for craft fairs and such. I’ve been here several times and have never had trouble working with Trudy to get an appointment– she even has made the exception of staying open a bit later so I could get a quick henna done! She does beautiful original or requested designs that last up to four weeks– in my experience– with proper care. She’s also just a cool person to talk to! The store has funky gifts and trinkets for the eccentric in your life. Happiness every visit!

I had a wonderful experience at Henna Happiness getting my bridal henna. I have the utmost respect for her work and she exudes 17 years of henna experience. As this is not a service that is in demand I feel that she worked well with my busy schedule, being at the shop when we had arranged. I highly recommend her a d chose her over henna by Jessica, whom never got back to me after I left several messages. If you want good henna, go to Henna Happiness

She is never there when she says she’ll be there. She doesn’t stick to her hours. Poor poor business.

I had the pleasure of stumbling across this lovely shop in Huntington yesterday and I must say it is quite the shop. Although, it is a tad obscure hidden off Carter. A quick right off New York Ave, and you shall find yourself in a vibing store.
They were many pieces, jewelry, bags, artisanal crafts, henna and much more!
It was absolutely heaven for me. The service was fantastic, the owner’s daughter had been there, and she was such a sweetheart!
The prices are very reasonable for what’s being offered in the store! I ended up snagging a pair crescent moon earrings and a pendant which I absolutely adore!
Love the place and would definitely come back!

I LOVE this shop. It’s just beautiful and everything is fixed just the way you would imagine it to be.
I could spend hours in there.
Trudy did my Vedic chart, I must say, she is quite a convincing saleswoman.
Her reading was spot-​on and it gave me the push I needed. After that reading with her, I got a job at a prestigious research institution.
I plan on being all my Christmas gifts here!

I actually did stop down at your shop after checking hours on website and a hand-​written sign was in the window to call a cell number. Hence the phone calls. I also requested to speak to the owner Trudy when I called. Had we ever finished the conversation, you would of had details, but then again, you were too busy.

I paid for two tiny henna tattoos that the girl messed up on several times, and all together for $ 45? Are you kidding me? This place is way over priced. Meanwhile I got a beautiful henna tattoo for $ 12 dollars at a street fair, I’ll stick to getting my henna tattoos there. DO NOT waste your money here, they like to take advantage of people’s wallets.

This place has a great vibe! It is the only store of its kind in the Village — jewlery, clothing, art and small musical instruments like Tibetan singing bowls. Trudy is warm & welcoming and a talented artist. In addition to henna (and henna parties), you can also have astrological readings done here.

My mom and I went here to get some fun summertime henna tattoos. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a very friendly lady (who turned out to be artist & owner Trudy) who pretty much said «no problem!» to whatever we asked of her. Her prices were very reasonable and based on the size of the art (my mom wanted a decent-​sized anchor on her ankle for her inner Sailor Sally & it was only $ 20). The place has a very relaxed, good-​karma feel to it with clothing, jewelry and books all focused on chakras and the like — prices looked reasonable altho I didn’t buy anything. She also does the traditional beautiful bindi artwork and something called a Mommy Mandala — a design on an expecting mommy’s belly! AND, you can do a trial-​run henna tattoo here before you 100% commit to the real ink one … which is exactly what my mama was doing!
In short: Friendly, clean, reasonable prices, good vibe, clothing & jewelry to boot! I think I’m going to take some of my girlz here on a Friday night after we get drinks at Besito for a henna party…
