Need a bridal mehndi artist in Walthamstow or Leyton? I’m Zakia, a henna artist in Ilford with over 20 years’ experience, and I regularly travel across Waltham Forest for brides and mehndi nights.



Areas I cover in Waltham Forest
Walthamstow, Leyton, Leytonstone, Chingford and Highams Park.
Natural henna, dark colour
I only use natural henna – never black henna or “emergency” colour. Natural henna starts orange and deepens over 24–48 hours, which is why I recommend your bridal mehndi 1–2 days before the wedding. Keep the paste on overnight and scrape it off without water for the deepest stain.
Small and large bookings
From a bride on her own to a mehndi night with twenty guests, I can plan the evening so everyone is done in good time. For bigger groups I’ll tell you in advance roughly how long it will take.
