Dear Artists,

    I want to spread the henna love all over Michigan. And I'm delighted you're interested in participating. A customer-service bonus is that I love to refer other artists for gigs since I only see clients in the studio.

    There is no charge for the listing. But I do reserve the right to refuse to post the work of artists found to be using 'emergency' or 'grocery store cones'. Or artists who engage in unethical, demeaning or damaging unprofessional behavior. Let's build up our community!

    We are all at different places in our passion for henna and I don't critique or vet the quality of work, but I do view and verify via social networks that the henna is natural. Artists who work with jagua AND henna can absolutely get listed; just no janky chemicals.

    You can see this is a bare bones list without photos etc: At the moment, I am using  free web-hosting and cannot post images of everyone's work. Over on @313henna on instagram I prioritize artists who tag @313henna, because it's easier for me to track.

    The list exists because I want to help henna lovers and henna artists connect. So its especially helpful if you tell me your closest big city and what kinds of gigs you want. For example, if you travel for private parties, high school / college graduation, reunions, etc.  Some artists only want bridal/nikah/mehndi nights, please tell me any of your gig restrictions too!.

    Cheers and Welcome!
