Oma
Henna Artist/ Sales Associate
Oma developed a love for henna through watching her daughter, River and has found her own passion through that. Oma’s designs are beautiful and intricate. She especially enjoys mandala work on large canvases, so naturally she excels at PreNatal Henna.
She also makes the kits we sell that are packed beautifully with everything you need to make henna at home (besides the lemon juice!)
Oma is head of sales and sells our kits to shops local and far. Individual kits are $30 and whole sale (10 or more) $15 each.
