Henna by Heather 

5.0

  • Team of 6
  • Serves West Des Moines, IA for additional fees

I love creating beautiful, custom wedding henna! From intricate, elaborate bridal mehndi designs to speedy, satisfying designs for guests, I love it all. I have studied Indian, North African, and Middle Eastern henna design in depth, and am happy to create designs in a broad range of strictly traditional styles, or to combine traditional patterns with more individualized, unique elements for a customized henna experience.

I'd first met Heather at a Rhode Island PrideFest, and instantly saw how much talent she had. Every piece she did looked amazing, her precision was immaculate. I went to her several times over the years, and when my now wife and I began planning our wedding, I brought up the idea of having wedding henna done. My wife agreed, and I knew immediately that I needed to contact Heather. We met up with her at a nearby farm where she was holding a henna event, and she sat with us discussing what we would like done for the wedding for probably a half-hour or so. She sketched design ideas out, which we loved, and made a contract right then and there. Our wedding henna was stunning. We received so many compliments on it that night, and repeatedly after as it lasted beautifully for quite some time. We still get comments if someone sees wedding photos. Throughout the entire process, Heather was a dream to work with. Very kind and professional, she is exactly the caring presence a stressed bride-to-be needs.

A professional salon owner & stylist for 11 years, I have used hair as my canvas, bringing a distinctive aesthetic & fresh approach to draw out each client’s unique beauty. Hair is my art & I love the process of transforming someone from start to finish.I understood from an early age that hair is not just an accessory; that great hair is the key to feeling beautiful. Mastering skills in wedding styling, It’s my personal goal to continue to grow & excel in my craft and to ultimately share with my clients all I've learned & can achieve for them. I love hair & feel incredibly blessed that I’ve found a career that resonates with me so perfectly.

Brittany was amazing to work with and helped me feel so beautiful as a bride! Brittany listened to what I thought would look nice and put her own spin on it to make my hair for the wedding even better! I felt like myself, just enhanced! I absolutely loved my hair! Brittany did a great job of looking at the space, my dress and my makeup to make sure it all worked together. She let me feel pampered and comfortable as I got ready! She pays attention to detail, made me feel so relaxed and did an outstanding job on not only my hair, but also my maid of honor, bridesmaids and my moms hair! I highly recommend Brittany to anyone looking for a hairstylist!
