Henna Designs and Prices
| Design | Coverage | Price (AED) |

| Single line | Hands or feet | 115 |
| Complex design | Hands or feet | 169 |

Choosing a Style
- Single line: a clean trail of flowers or vines. Quick, elegant and good for children and first-timers.
- Complex: fuller coverage of the hand or foot with more pattern.
- Advanced Arabic: bold floral and geometric patterns with open space, the classic Eid look.
Save a few photos of designs you like to show the artist.
Timing for Eid
- Book: 7 to 10 days before Eid. The last few days fill fastest.
- Apply: one to two days before Eid. Henna darkens over 24 to 48 hours, so it looks best on Eid itself.
- Group bookings: for mothers, daughters and sisters, book one longer visit so everyone is done together.
How to Get a Darker Stain
- Wash and dry hands before the appointment; skip lotion and oil.
- Leave the paste on for as long as you can, ideally several hours.
- Keep your hands warm; the stain develops better in warmth.
- Scrape the dried paste off rather than washing it off.
- Avoid water on the design for the first 12 to 24 hours.
Safety
Zigy uses organic henna. Avoid "black henna", which can contain chemicals that cause skin reactions. If you have sensitive skin or allergies, ask for a small test patch first.
Combine With Eid Pampering
Add a mani-pedi, a blow dry or a facial in the same visit; see the salon at home price list. For the men of the family, book a barber at home.
