Mangala is a lovely woman and incredibly talented artist. Not only did she save the day when my mom-in-law and I completely forgot to book someone for bridal henna and come through... with an appointment at the last minute, but she masterfully created gorgeous designs that really spoke to my soul. After sharing only a few designs that I liked from her photo gallery and photos of my outfits, Mangala created the most perfect design for me and my personality. And, she was able to create a mehndi strip on my mom-in-law that was unique and gorgeous.
Even better than all of this, I am convinced Mangala has a magic recipe for her henna - I still have very dark henna almost a week later, and at my mehndi and wedding all of the aunties were thrilled at the color and design.
While it's impossible for me to sit still, the almost hypnotic way Mangala worked soothed and calmed me. The lavender she uses in her henna didn't hurt - serving as a lovely aromatherapy experience.
I cannot say enough good things about Mangala. She's a woman you would be lucky to have perform this amazing ritual, and a delight to have on your side as you prepare for your wedding.
I highly recommend Mangala and will be sharing her information with all of my Desi friends!
