Mehndi Artists in Leicester

Mehndi artists get booked up quickly in season, so don't leave it too late. Ask what cones they use — natural henna is fine, but "black henna" contains chemicals that can seriously irritate or damage skin. It's also worth checking whether they're comfortable working in a women-only setting.

Leicester has a long-established South Asian community, so family-run caterers, decor and mehndi artists are easy to find, and many have worked alongside each other for years.
